XenonDesigns Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Austin FC If you haven't already heard, the owner of Crew SC is trying to move the team to Austin if he can't secure a new home for them in Columbus. Last week I had began creating a new stadium for the Crew before any of this had been announced so I decided to make the seats green and create a concept because unfortunately it's looking increasingly likely that the club will be playing in Texas by 2019. Hopefully the rally on Sunday plus the #SaveTheCrew movement will persuade MLS to keep the team in Columbus but right now Garber has said he supports Precourt. Onto the concept: I decided to do a pretty basic design for the crest, incorporating the shape of the Austin coat of arms in the shield as well as the white stripe. The star comes from the Texas flag and the name "Austin FC" was already trademarked by the league previously. The stadium is also basic and cookie cutter including an Orlando-like safe-standing section that the league is seeing becoming more popular to house the supporters. The approximate capacity would probably be around 18-20,000. I'm no professional architect or anything so it's nothing extraordinary but I used sketchup and Twilight Render plus some photoshop. C&C is appreciated and also I should note that I don't support the Crew moving to Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Look up Austin Statesman building. That's the proposed site. It would give you more of an idea as to changes to the stadium. I hope it doesn't happen in real life, but if it did this is the most likely place within Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thazer Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 nice to see someone else pushing sketchup stadiums. actual critique, em... - 1839 means more to austin than the club im guessing so not like schalke 04 ..... that can go. boo forced lineage! - bonus points for not using an old west font.... but this font pretty bland even if its a spartan manly vibe youre going for . - im a fan of mannequin style kit template so you can see it in use. putting that aside, flooding the background color buries the impact of the kit design for me. - austin is pretty artsy liberal so id expect an anti-cookie cutter stadium e.g. crazy roofline quirky stands or a batcave. for the baaaats!! keep austin weird! good on ya for the 3d seating. thats a bitch to make. twilight render....interesting......

BigRed618 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What’s wrong with "Soccer Club" instead of "Football Club?” I know that’s what they do in Europe, but we’re not in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenonDesigns Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thanks for all the C&C! I feel like the revised stadium is much much better. I'm going to continue to work on the elements around the stadium and the skyline which would be just across the river behind the supporters section. Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

Football Club is one of the trademarked names along with "Austin Athletic" so thats the only reason why I chose football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
