Like I had feared....I'm underwhelmed and disappointed with what I am seeing so far. None of the buildings strike me as cutting edge. The whole facility looks like a jumbled mess and a huge hunk of concrete. The field house is what I feared, a giant gymnasium with bleachers. It does not look like a stadium and the track ruins the sight lines no matter if the seats can retract or not. The inside looks like a school gym. The roof must be transparent with operable windows if there is no retractable roof. Capacity is too small, should be 35,000. The arena? Good God what is that mess? A giant lower bowl and then what appears as countless rings of office windows? Also looks bland. Obviously these are not the final plans nor final renderings, but a project that was supposed to build excitement after all these years is a major letdown. If this is the final plan I vote NO to providing a single penny of government money.
