Amazing how far the design has come since Gene released this hilariously bad rendering.

They were very clear when those were released that they were not renderings.

Very clear? Of course they're not final renderings, but they literally said they consulted with HOK to come up with these designs and like all previous builds, more details would be available when each project is announced.

Either way, I'm glad the final renderings looks as good as they do.

Oh, thank God they're talking to HOK and not just Populous. They could be talking to both HOK and Populous, though. At this point, who knows? And, obviously, you've gotta watch your back when you're dealing with Populous.

I hope they talk to Gaudi. How awesome would it be to have a weird purple cave over in the endzone. Cat Cave they could call it.

As long as BIG isn't involved. I've never liked anything they've touched.

Hopefully none of Gene's buddies work for them.

Gene literally said in the ask the ad segment after these were released that he didn't want people to think that is what the end product would look like.

I would be good with hiring Currie back as some kind of contract employee where all he has to do is oversee the build and design stuff for this thing.

Also canco, $100 million.  All done over a several year period. 

Bringing  total facilities expenditures to $300 million  in less than a decade.

I don’t think anyone that follows this stuff thought this is what the final product would look like (although it sounds like the indoor is about the same).. but I don’t think Gene knows what a rendering is if he thinks that’s not one.

Doesn’t really matter, though. Appears the demand grew for this area to expand the plans.

CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!

I mean I really do hate being critical but that things looks like some kind of 1991 Nintendo cassette or something. Like, it looks old and weird now. Maybe just make a classic design?

Good news, soon you will no longer be going out to chug beers at halftime and will consume booze in the stadium.

I think the inside looks great. I think the outside looks laughable. Maybe it’s just me, but if we’re making buildings that we’ll all have to look at, I’d like them to be aesthetically pleasing? :dunno:

But generally I think I like the new stuff mostly. Will look closer later.
