Well, aesthetically, Stanford's stadium has a single, coherent design that doesn't look like a bunch of separate projects cobbled together like ours. Also, a there's nothing wrong with a little asymmetry, but our stadium is extremely asymmetrical and the propotions are all mumped up in several ways including east to west and WSC to bowl seating.

The thing about Kim Carnes is he has a pea sized brain and the maturity of a 12 year old. So reading his posts is not good for intelligent ppl. It will set you back in time.

I don't like Kim because he's predictable
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Easy fix. Keep circling around the stadium doing different upgrades each time until it evens out. Kind of like evening your sideburns.

chum is spot on. And yes, there are ways they can do the south and east to add symmetry but I have absolutely no reason to believe they'll do it that way.

When my mom was in town a few weeks ago she got on the topic about how she is doing a lot of work at/with stanford right now and how she liked the campus. I told her it looks like a taco bell and she really enjoyed that and said she was going to tell her colleagues the same.

Really neat story, thanks for sharing.   :thumbsup:   #neat

Sports architecture neophytes and no-nothings apparently don't get that symmetry is extremely passe'.

I'll try to get a follow up to relay their reactions but I imagine they all get a good chuckle from it.

When you throw symmetry out the window you get abominations like Levi Stadium.  Or Cornell's thing.  Or Brown's  :sdeek:.

Levi's stadium is the wave of the future.   If you look, it actually has a lot of symmetry while putting lots of expensive suites closer to the field and along the sideline.   That's what people who spend millions on suites want.

It's horrific looking.

Yeah, based on online reviews, almost no one thinks Levi's Stadium looks good and lots of people think it looks bad. And this is what we were actually discussing.

Many people do also talk about how it was designed for people with lots of money to come in and spend lots of money, but they do so as a CRITICSM, saying that it sucks for average fans and has a crap atmosphere. Maybe that's what K-State is going for?

There are 2 things wrong with Levi's stadium. The location is way too far south, and the name is stupid

also it looks extremely stupid and has a design that will be seen in 25 years as a majorly lol attempt at being modern.

It's home to an NFL team, so it's going to be expensive.   Hell its $35 to $40 bucks for a pre game omelet and 1 Bloody Mary on the club level of Arrowhead.   

Plus, are you reading Google reviews? AKA the place where people who like to bitch go to bitch about everything.

Tell me about it. It actually looks much better and more balanced from that angle than it does from the inside. I guess maybe this whole time when I've said stadiums need symmetry, I should actually have been using the word "balance."  I think I care more about a good balance than about actual symmetry. I think.
