    The things that I have read have said that Nashville isn't looking to start construction until later in 2018 or early 2019. They have a site but they can't actually start construction until they do a lot of site work and infrastructure stuff at the fairgrounds. They aren't even promising a stadium that is done for the start of the 2020 season.

    Hey now.. Your phone's pictures aren't that bad. ;)

    That being said, there are a ton of attachments that you can get for your phone that can improve the picture that you are taking. Get to cracking! We need some high quality stadium pron!!

    I saw it from a distance a few weeks ago. Doesn't it look like some of those WPA stadiums that were put up in 3 months? It seems to have that aesthetic.

    Answering my own question. From the tweet they just posted the seats look gray.

    How lame. Orlando had the right idea.

    Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me the seats that are a different color from the home team shirt help make the fans stand out better. I really liked the visual of the contrast of blue shirts of it was either Honduras or El Salvador on orange seats in Houston during the Gold Cup. Where as when Houston plays thhe visual seems very muted, even when it's a well attended game.

    When the team struggles to draw maybe the matching seat color conceals a little bit which is helpful, but when it's sold out and the colors match it seems like it minimizes the effect too.

    It appears the main camera will have to be on the same side as these suites. There doesn't appear to be any boxes on the opposite side to house TV crews.

    The wing/feathers in the seats is freaking awesome!

    If only they would put that on the jersey instead of those ugly-ass boring stripes.

    DC Stadium view has changed. One of the cameras is now inside.

    The webcam is an image that updates just about every 10 minutes so there's no need to screenshot a mobile device.

    I wasn’t putting the direct link because I couldn’t figure it out on the mobile app.

    If it weren't for that idiotic corner, the DC stadium would be awesome. Nice shots, though.

    Is it me or does it seem like the scoreboard will block a lot of people's view of the capital building? Doesn't seem especially thoughtful.

    Hopefully something on the field will be worth staring at more than a building in the background.

    Soon enough other buildings will obstruct the view even more. The angle of the camera makes it a lot easier to see than it is from the site.

    You're a good guy and I don't mean to start, but designs that are contrived to frame background views are cliché and often silly.
