I have to be honest, this has completely ruined my day. I am very sad. This is so uninspired, so basic...it looks like it was designed by whoever designs all of the strip malls in Riverview. I am expecting a Mattress Firm and a Vape Shop to be in it somewhere, along with traffic lights every 100 feet around it.
Left side of rendering
1. Are we serious with these exposed metal poles underneath this misshapen heptagon?
2. Are we serious with this heptagon???
3. This building underneath the heptagon...just a gorgeous flat roof? What are we doing with all of this wide open space? Can't turn it into some kind of concessions or literally anything at all?
Right Side of rendering
1. These bullhorns look like an accident. Again, this super bizarre heptagon appears. The bullhorns could theoretically come out of the heptagon, but that would make the heptagon make sense so I assume that's just completely out of the question.
2. Why is there so much seating in the end zone relative to the home side? Who likes to sit in the end zone? Why not significantly heighten the away side...higher sides = louder stadium (see Seattle Seahawks).
3. This heptagon extends so high and it looks like the stairs start at the bottom...maybe a mistake? No way that works with code.
Exterior
1. Away side - these appear to be metal columns holding up the 'all concrete' structure. And this is how we walk in! Welcome to your stadium, don't walk into the giant metal post.
2. It really only looks like you can enter from 2 different directions, through 2 sides. How does that work?
3. Let's say theoretically one day we are doing to add shade...how does that even kind of work? Except for that one rendering someone shared of a potential sail thing, no idea how this works.
What happened to the conversation about these beautiful new soccer stadium designs? Specifically, TQL in Cincy was brought up and was built for significantly less (though a much smaller capacity). I suppose any stadium is better than no stadium, but the plan was to make a stadium that was special. You could pick this up and drop it on any campus in the country and it would fit. You hold back renderings for months, the expectations are bound to increase. Well mine increased. I knew there would be no shade but I had definitely been led to believe there would be elements that would make this unmistakably ours (not just a part of horns popping up out of one end zone opposite the illuminati heptagon). Unless we are somehow incorporating heptagons into everything going forward, I don't get it? By the way, it looks like the actually footprint is a heptagon. Why is that? What is the deal with these heptagons? It's a 7-pointed shape...I think the illuminati work with these sorts of things. There are 3 of these heptagons...what does it mean?
