[QUOTE="illiniwil, post: 1468817, member: 10813"] It amazes me that people honestly think we should build buildings that look 150 years old as if that makes them "look" like or fit natural next to a 150 yr old landmark. We do not and cannot make buildings in a similar fashion to those built that long ago and should never try to do that. look at that ND monstrosity) While I am not in love with this solution, (it doesn't even look like the renderings published with that new row of columns on the practice field side) there is nothing about the architecture to suggest it is a bad building. modern architecture is far better, more efficient and visually striking than almost anything 100 years old. The best 2 new football training facilities are at Oregon and Northwestern, and are both modern, creative and exciting buildings on very traditional campuses. [/QUOTE]
