The Stadium Thread

[SkinsFTW]

Understanding Dan Snyder's mentally tells me that anything that is designed with a freaking Moat also requires a drawbridge.

Where are the pictures with this?

Will there also be archers?

Cauldron of boiling oil?

“Crown Royale is a sweet indica-dominant hybrid that blends the best of parent strains Blueberry and Purple Kushtogether. This flower is a feast for the eyes with bright purple hues and deep green foliage. Just as delightful on the palate, ”

While that makes sense, Snyder was a big fan of Crown Royal--he tried to hire Shanahan after downing half a bottle.

We need to find a way to make that continue just for Eagles fans, even after the new stadium is built

Any "real" stadium plans leaked anyplace? All I see are various Ideas. Was there a render in the paper work given to the city

Nope nothing yet. I think they would have had to at least have a design done at this point. Hopefully we get to see it soon.

I think once the deal for RFK is totally locked down and finalized, they then put the design out to bid for a building contractor.

I think the Kato (Boston i believe?) design videos were unsolicited. I haven't seen anything yet from the team

Yup, unsolicited. Their statement at the time was they wanted to influence conversation about the project.

I would say mission accomplished.

I think it would be really cool if the exterior of the stadium matched the look of the monuments. They may not elect to go that route, but would be so cool if they did.

I have a feeling whatever we get is going to be top shelf no matter which style they go with. I’m beyond stoked about this whole thing. I like the Kato style, but I agree it would be really cool if they went with something that looks like the pantheon or colosseum on the outside.

 

[tomwvr]

not a fan of the "render" out there now. it too modern for DC
Now I want a clear roof or a retractable clear roof , I would like to see a neoclassical building - to match what is in DC . Roman Column's act

 

[HOF44]

I like the render out now a lot. But Rales is also known for being involved with some unique buildings. I would bet they lean a lot on him for the aesthetic. Wil be interesting to see when an official design comes out.

I get the attraction of that, but I worry it would end up looking something like a roman coliseum. Because a lot of the monuments are very roman in architecture.

I'm not sure that look would work really well on a stadium. Seems like it would be very "heavy" construction, when the modern style is much more translucent, light architecture.

Though it's likely somebody with an architectural degree and some creativity (neither of which I possess) could come up with something cool.

I just want a fixed translucent roof and nothing dopey like a stupid pirate ship sticking out of one end.

A modern roman coliseum would be awesome to me.

Maybe they could do both. Have the facade more Greco - Roman, with the roof or canopy letting in the light with all the modern materials.

 

[AngryChuckT]

Put me down as someone who would love a neoclassical flavor to fit the rest of the City.

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

I guess I'm on an island.

One thing I'm sure of, we're going to get something well designed, modern and well thought out. And it won't be 10 years out of date the moment it opens.

The only challenge with the translucent roof is I think that basically requires field turf. I'd prefer natural grass with an option for field turf or even concrete. There is a Soccer Stadium in Europe somewhere (somebody can find the link) where the field can be essentially stored under the stadium with fake sun light or something and I think they can flip from natural grass for the professional soccer team and some other surface for all the other uses of the stadium.

I found the link. I want this. Please Josh, do this:

John Mara is a blue blood owner and had Goodell in his pocket.

He’s vile, worthless, and deserves nothing less than a paper cut with lemon juice poured straight into it.
