You are conflating two different sports? Name an old football stadium that you would prefer over the newer ones?  Soldier field had more character as you say before they renovated the first time into the blue and yellow seats.  However the bench seats were wood and some of the sight lines were awful, each renovation has made the attendance more enjoyable.  Three Rivers, Busch Stadium, Riverfront, Fulton County, the Coliseum all were replaced with nicer Stadiums, more Amenities and better sight lines, older is simply not better when it comes to football stadiums. 

That is true. SF’s Candlestick stadium sucked too compared to their new stadium. Never been to either one but I can tell just from seeing it on TV lol. Think the Dolphins made their stadium better with renovations. Seattle new stadium is better than the Kingdome

Seems like a lot of posters on this website are spending 10-15-20 minutes writing posts bashing the renderings instead of the 30-40 minutes it would take to listen to the BOT meeting, where much of wh

Oh brother! Had no idea we had so many amateur engineers, etc. here. We have a flipping football stadium coming and a bunch of numbnuts are critiquing one computer-generated sketch and deciding it’s a

We would absolutely salivate to have that stadium coupled with the shade.  However I am ok with what they put out, it is not the Taj Mahal however we are not exactly royalty either.  The stadium looks

Been to both Candlestick and the new one. New one is definitely better. Off topic but interesting story about Candlestick. When the developers were trying to sell the Giants on the location, they brought them out there in the afternoon. Weather was great there during the day but the winds howled each and every night. Colder than a witch's teat.

Found this higher res version of the rendering on USF's site. It's starting to grow on me, after the initial shock of all the weird shapes has worn off. One thing is for sure that it makes oveido's stadium look like a disaster waiting to happen.

The student section area with the Bulls horns is cool as heck. Can't imagine the scoreboard stays as a heptagon (although it kinda should now, being word of the month and all). And similar to FSU (c has the same plan), the upgrades to the stadium may eventually encase the bowl with an outer facade. These bricks weren't there day 1.

It's funny that many pages back someone complained about the "breaks" in the sections/end zones.  I do live in the desert, and it's not like Tampa, but Tampa can get hot.  They tore down parts of Sun Devil Stadium to get the "breaks" in the sections so that the bowl didn't get so hot.  Air/wind coming in, a little better...but when it's 118 it's 118.  :)

I think they should strike a sponsorship deal with MacDill and install these Big Ass Fans.

I'm okay with that it looks nice.  We need a green roof though.

Supply issues are an issue. I'll be when the stadium opens. My uncle complains all the time how he has to  either wait for construction  materials, overspend to skip  some people, or just not take a job.  Ironically  he was one of the engineer firms to diagnose  the rust bucket. My cousins one went to usf and ucf . 

For sure. We just had our house built. It was supposed to be done October 2022. Wasn't done until June 2023. Not fun.

I like the breaks because it gives a kind of unique look to most other college football stadiums ..... but am wondering if that will somehow diffuse some of the crowd noise.

Well, once we old guys put down our oxygen masks we won't be making a lot of noise.  The lack of crowd noise at RayJay is due to the lack of crowd.
