It is apparent to everyone (except those involved) that the concept is flawed.

Furthermore, when doing a project of this magnitude, perhaps they should look beyond local expertise and engage architectural firms which have experience in these types of projects. Based on the renderings produced, the design firm(s) they chose were unqualified.

And I won't even touch the financing model which has been debated ad nausium but is clearly leaning towards a FAIL.

The fact this took so long, should result in pink slips all around.
Right, and I'm not involved in the production of any of the drawings, the renderings, or the selection of the design team. None of that. You'll have to look elsewhere for answers on that. I'm not connected in any way to that at all, and never have been.

I'm surprised though about the architect, since one of the designers is Rossetti, a well-known sports and entertainment designer. I would have expected better renderings from them too.
