They left the place that protected them from certain destruction in order to stake their claim on everything they could see. I really and truly can't imagine the Mallers returning to Eastern Bay under any circumstances.

Is it still a possibility? Sure, of course it is and the deserters might be a symptom of them returning to the prison and those people just didn't want to go I just feel like they found a different home.

As for Lizzy never seeing the Arena before: She's 26 years old and has lived in the area for at least 3 years (getting her doctorate which she was just completing so she had to be in the area in some capacity). We've known her for about 4 months. That's potentially 25.75 years she might have gone to the Arena to watch a hockey game, or any other event that might be held in the arena in the off season. All said and done though, I don't think the Arena is a possibility either. Just pointing out she could have seen it at some given point in time and be able to recognize it.
there are a few things i think i can point out. THe mallers did leave eastern bay to stake their own claim and they did go to an unprotected strip mall, except it was unprotected. after one point, is it really worth it living in the mall or is it just better to take the prison and stay alive? of course the downside to this argument is theres a lot of places that they could choose other than eastern bay so yeah

as for the arena argument, please please please dont forget ZOMBIE STRONGHOLD. godkingzombie pimp lives there. his entire horde lives there, why why why why on earth would you go about clearing that place up? that's so difficult, and the zombies arent just gonna up and leave one day. i really dont think its the arena.
