Now, most architects will fall within the many shades of gray between the two extremes. With just this rendering, I see elements of the fit for purpose design. When more information is released of the interior design we will know more. I also believe that this ownership group is more concerned about getting a venue that works and provides the revenues they need to complete with other markets. They do not strike me as people concerned with creating a building that will also be a work of art. This is just my opinion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright
Frank Lloyd Wright was notorious for designing houses with leaky roofs, rickety structures, and (in one memorable case) a two-story house with no stairs. His acknowledged masterpiece, Fallingwater, is only standing because the contractor disregarded the plans and used more structural steel than Wright had called for.

Form needs to be a consideration in any building. Form at the expense of function is a recipe for failutre.

I'm not sold on the silvery tab that looks like it is being peeled off to reveal the inside. Otherwise I like it.

Pocket Dawgs get their own permanent stands with two on the main concourse and one on the upper concourse. I'm sold!

Also, there's a few places for something called "Caesarville".

IDK I think it looks cool. I think some would complain about anything. Inside is what matters anyway.
