Years upon years of opportunity to do this project at 1/3 the price.
Then tearing down an historic structure to build a value engineered MLS'ified stadium that is not in keeping architecturally with anything on their campus . . . it's just a tragedy.
I'm also hearing rumblings that the general rake of the stands will be more fitting for futbol viewership and not American Football viewership. Apparently Cliff wants to see that Lawrentucky hosts some WC practices.
I know you are going to take this the wrong way but it's a genuine question, what is the rake difference between the two sports?
I was told this by a bonafide sports architect this week, I did not nerd out and ask what the differences were (I also don't know I wouldn't think it was a geniune question, but whatevs).
In using Google (knower of all things) it appears that FIFA has a design spec.
I do not know how that relates to preferred American Football seating angles.
