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.

Rossetti is involved in the project, they are based in Detroit and are also involved in Al Ain Sports Complex in Dubai that contains an Olympic track, soccer stadium, natatorium, arena and tennis stadium. They also did TD Garden & the Canadian Tire Centre.
Perhaps judging whether a firm is qualified or not should be based on their resume not though some renderings?
