njmeadowlanders Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That is really poor......and so is the fact it's only going to seat 63,000...Cool building overall though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in the world were they thinking? For what NFL tickets cost, it's a crock to even sell partially obstructed views. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This could be the bost of both worlds for ownership. First, they get a shiny new stadium and a Super Bowl. Then, the stadium sucks so badly, revenues taper off, and they move to Los Angeles. Cha-ching!

gueman Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Well that is what I call retro authentic. When the Colts played in Baltimore they had a stadium that had that type of feature, and it seated more! But Drunk Bob and the boy blunder had to move to Indy!

It looks like a giant warehouse and overpowers the skyline of the city way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 So, they say that the seats won't be sold, and that the semi-obstructed ones will only be sold when the rest are sold out...Here's a novel idea... why'd they have to install seats behind pillars in the first place? Didn't the guy bolting the seats down stop to think about who would actually be sitting there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcgd Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Not all the retractable roof stadiums have obstructed views, but I know Miller Park has some up behind home plate where the shell all connects. They call the Ucker Seats and charge 2 bucks for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The first thing you notice about the stadium when driving downtown is just how much bigger it is than the RCA Dome. I agree with the above poster who said that it "overpowers" the skyline, it was the first thing I noticed after moving here a year ago. However, I think it looks cool. Not many NFL teams go the retro route when building their new stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the guy bolting the seats down stop to think about who would actually be sitting there?The guy bolting down the seats was probably thinking "What the hell are seats doing behind this giant pillar". He was also probably thinking "Well, it's what the customer wants, so I may as well do my job, not my problem" and proceeded to install said mega-obstructed seating.

Two things this society is severely lacking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
