Washington's new stadium (concept design)

The stadium exterior looks like mosquito netting.

Watch game. Get drunk. Fall in moat. Drown.

What Jan said.

That pool will freeze during the DC winters.

Honestly, I think it's absolutely ridiculous. Like a gaudy punch bowl. Top it off with a friggin a wave pool moat. A wave pool moat? It's the embodiment of everything that's wrong with society, IMO. But that's just me. To each their own. lol

Modern times StOnEy, there is no going back... They do the same thing with Airport Terminals, Train Stations, Hotels/Resorts, Office Blocks/Buildings, University Campus Buildings, Laboratories, Hospitals, Convention Centres & Museums, etc.

They are designed to be/offer so much more than their primary function.

Wishing things were different or like they were in the past is pointless... It'd be like wishing for football players to work regular jobs in the offseason & get paid regular/normalised wages. (Not going to happen)

It's also like wishing for the time when football was just football/sport & nothing else... Well those days are gone & football/sport is as much entertainment as TV/Film/Music, etc. Ratings & commercial dollar are important. Every little aspect of the game they can extract a dollar from, they will. Examples: Combine, Draft -process & event, Behind The Scenes - Offseason, Honours & Award shows, SB & all surrounding events, The SB - Half-Time Show, etc.

The good old days of "It is what it is," are long gone.

There's no going back, and those days are long gone you say. And then there's a place like Levi's built right in the middle of your progressive thinking. Guess your innovative and futuristic designs don't always apply. But like I said, to each there own. I've been to fancy stadiums before and when you're standing outside its really nothing special. And when you're sitting in your seat there's no magical feeling it gives you. More like a "hmm. This is just a football stadium with a nice coat that looks fancy from the sky view. lol

Or they will have to drain it and it will look even worse.

That thing could be frozen for half the season.

Then you ice skate on it

So instead of drunk people drowning they fall and break their neck.

I bet the team lawyers would go nuts if they actually chose that design.

I was thinking about how they would get insurance for that.

Because open water is a great thing to have surrounding your stadium with the s**tload of drunk people going over / around it. They'll have to put barriers up and then it will look like crap.

My first thought as well. Seriously, how many beer cups/bottles, wrappers, and general garbage would be thrown into the wave people by drunken fans stumbling in/out of the stadium!?

I will say that, when it comes to stadium designs in any sport, I prefer artistic/creative designs over boring traditional ones. I'll give them credit for going bold.

Or they just use a salt**ter system

Edit - so salt water is a censored word...

Weird. Salt**ter lazy river is a lot of damn money. Though easier on upkeep. It still is not viable. I have a solution. Put a go-cart track around it instead.

I feel like i've seen this concept design so many times for other stadiums

Looks like a sloppy vag.

Maybe it just looks like that old 70's lamp our grandparents have stuck in some corner of their house from way back when.

Levi's will seem like the worst stadium in the league in a couple more years. Hell, it was obsolete before it was finished.
