Phil, where would you have put it?

If you want it close to the stadium which I have no idea why you need it, I would have backed it towards the back of that lot.  It feels claustrophobic between the stadium and the PF the way it looks now.

I like my stadiums pure, not some morton building hanging off of them

The back of the East side isn't exactly the front cover of Architectural Digest. 

I do wish they would have kept the side windows, but overall it's going to be an improvement aesthetics wise.

good point but the better answer would be to beautify it not just hide it with this thing.  I'm sure it will be all good and fine that's just my feel for it having not been there in person.

They should not put a single dollar into the east side that isn't revenue generating. The only option moving forward is to complete renovate for more suites/louge boxes, or doze and build new. Adding limestone or any facade at this point would be a huge step back.

Not sure if anyone has been to Williams-Brice Stadium, but we should copy how they have added (or they built it that way) grass rows and trees to their parking lots.

Yes, for sure. Would like to know how many injuries / deaths per game due to parking lot flora and fauna. They are obviously suppressing the stats...., can't find the data anywhere on the dark web.

They need to hop on the stadium-wide beer sales ASAP.  Good teams keeps fans in the seats.  Plenty of time to tailgate before and after.

There is bound to be fauna with all of that flora to eat and live in. Killer squirrels jumping out of those trees just adds to the danger.

If a goal of putting that practice building there was to conceal the back side of the east stadium structure, looks like they need a different solution for that.

I honestly DGAF about the vantage point of someone on the roof of the O.H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation Center (aka The OHKFTIC)

Such a weird place to put that massive building. Has anyone else ever built a building in a spot just to conceal the shitty side of a stadium?

A limestone wall on the back of the East side, a stable of souped-up golf carts, and a cart path from Vanier to the current indoor facility would have been much cheaper.  :ROFL:

I never thought it was placed there with the goal of concealing the east side of the stadium.  :dunno:

I'm super confused as to how someone can look at that picture and think that facility could go anywhere else other than where it is.
