Probably on of the coolest stadiums around. Saw a special on Discovery on how it was built. Pretty interesting.

WOW! that looks incredible! reminds me of some of the new stadia being built in europe
nicely done!
- CincodeMayo0
Yes, very much like the european ones. It's about time stadiums get nicer here in the US.
More on the way...

Yeah, just looking at it, one could tell Peter Eisenman did it. Take a look at the project, City of Culture of Galicia in Spain, it has a similar feel:

Very cool. Is there a final rendering anywhere? Didn't see one...
- jondj240
final rendering of which?
- CincodeMayo0
The City of Culture? Maybe I missed it...is it finshed yet? I saw the brownish photo showing how it will look, but I'm assuming it won't be brown and covered in grass or something else?
- jondj240
oh yeah, sorry no final rendering that i have found. i think it will be brownish, but more earth tones. See the tiles in that one roof shot.

they should use solar panels for the outside if they're going to spend that much for a place in the desert

a massive waste of money...
... on one of the shittiest teams in NFL... and built in a stupid part of phoenix to say the least.
... if the roof opens... why do you need to be able to move the field out of the stadium to get sunlight?

so they can play water polo

Hey Man, the BOZ lives in that part of town.
- PonyBoy0
you know the stadium is supposed to look like a coiled up snake too... right?
STUPID...
If the architect lived in Phoenix... he'd of known not to touch 'ghekos', 'coyotes', 'kokopeli's'... and 'snakes'...

I keeeeeeeeeeeed! I keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!
Carlos... c'mon... seriously... you know this stadium has been the biggest cluster-flock of phx's last 8 years... and is absolutely 'silly' in both price-tag, THE TEAM it's for... and the lame-ass coiled up snake crap.

All I know is that I missed out on some easy money by not investing in several sets of season ticket's this year. :( The resale market is huge for these games.
- PonyBoy0
You think it's because of the team though?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!
People bought the tickets because of the stadium...
...although... the cards do have a new first-round draftee...
... we shall see.
