Plus the big window makes for some loving dramatic photography. LA Coliseum is great for the same reason the Rose Bowl is, simple bowl shapes make the best designs for stadiums. There's no bad seats in either of them.

For how boring the location is, Kauffmann Stadium and Arrowhead are functional, convenient, tailgate-friendly, not named after a company and both had successful renovations. Plus the dream is still alive that this will be added one day. Current:  Originally planned with a sliding, bizarre concrete arch designed for heating, cooling, sorta protecting against rain, looking like a processor made in the 70s in Russia.

Alaois posted:it looks like a giant glowing HVAC unit Yeah they spent almost as much as Jerry Jones to build what almost looks like an unfinished frame. Metlife looks terrible. It might be the lamest looking stadium in the NFL. I haven't actually been to a game in it though, so maybe it functions okay. But aesthetically it's garbage.

Metlife looks terrible. to be fair as evidenced by the still-in-tact old Giants Stadium (a way nicer looking stadium) it probably isn't finished in that picture, but the finished product ain't much different  note the white tarp underneath the METLIFE sign in the foreground, they had to install that after they realized that there was no rain coverage in that area for the people standing underneath

The new Vikings stadium looks like something the CIA would make or like an alien spaceship that happened to land in a major metropolitan city.

warcrimes posted:I love the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, gently caress all y'all Since overstock opted out of their sponsorship thing, it's cool to just call it The Coliseum again. In news, Forbes reported that Oaklands mayor will be making a "dramatic announcement" regarding the Raiders stadium situation next week. It's probably that the Coliseum has been condemned.

FCKGW posted:Why would anyone outside of Pittsburgh know what PNC is? Pittsburgh is where PNC Bank is headquartered, so it's not a leap to guess that the P is Pittsburgh and just go from there. I know PG&E is Pacific Gas and Electric because there's not a Pittsburgh Gas and Electric or Potomac Gas and Electric. After that, Pacific seems most likely. Plus I've heard of them because they owned Diablo Canyon.

The Raiders have no reason to bluff now, so this increasing chatter with Las Vegas is interesting.quote:Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis will appear before a state committee later this month to discuss relocating the National Football League team to Las Vegas. http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/tourism/raiders-owner-mark-davis-address-state-panel-discuss-proposed-stadium-move-las I wonder if Mark would pursue this over moving into the Kroenkhouse if the Chargers end up staying in SD.

ok fine if you have to put a roof on it so the players don't die or w/e, do it. but i want the roof to be made out of crushed up skulls and shaped like a big fuckoff battleaxe. that's the concession i want in return.

No one in Vegas believes this is anything more than leverage because the city has been jerked around by pro teams in the past. Hell, the T-mobile arena is open and we passed all barriers for getting an NHL team and the process has dragged on so long

Hell, the T-mobile arena is open and we passed all barriers for getting an NHL team and the process has dragged on so long The NHL thing is based around an expansion, not moving an existing team. It's a completely different situation. 2/3 paid off by tourists is a shitload and there will almost certainly be some movement on that front, but if they provide a realistic amount, they're the front runners to get the Raiders. Oakland is providing nothing, and has jerked the team around for like 20 years. San Antonio isn't real. And if Davis was interested in being second class citizens in someone elses stadium, they'd probably be playing at Levi's, so I doubt the team is eager to join in with Kroenke. We'll have to see how the numbers play out, but right now I think Vegas is really plausible, and perhaps the frontrunner.

Basically add more private money and find a way to sort out the conflict with the convention center upgrades and get the Raiders. Vegas really fits the outlaw feel of they have
