I had mixed feelings on Stage Center. I didn't love it, but it was kind of neat. But it was way better than just a fenced off pond.
I had no feelings towards it either way, but I can understand why it was architecturally significant, but not functional. Had they halted demo it would still be standing today collecting dust, but there would still be a chance someone with a bunch of money could sweep in and save it, that chance is now gone.

Just lots of incompetence from the city, which is to be expected of governments. Hopefully they learned, but yeah it's government they don't learn.

In the future though, I'll be on the team that says no more tearing down significant buildings without a concrete plan in place to rebuild them.
