[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1322417, member: 588137"] Honestly, yeah. It might be that simple. Not so much on the glass, but certainly on the lack of any architectural feature that would make it either a.) tie into the exiting buildings or b.) be exciting and interesting. The columns are the primary feature of our historic football stadium, so to not have some reference or tie-in to that on a $70+ million dollar project seems lazy and cookie-cuter. I mean, even a variation on the idea of columns (LED or glass pillars or something) would at least be interesting. And sure, this is all superficial compared to the larger rebuild and team performance, but appearances certainly matter (see kids/fans obsession with jerseys and shoes). Good programs nail the small stuff while also implementing the broader vision -- we need to aim for that level. [/QUOTE]
