Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Totally in for that, might i suggest a Cauldron vs starting 11 girls in bikini's sand volleyball match too?

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

I don't know about everyone else, but there aren't too many Cauldronintes I would want to see in a bikini.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

let me modify that:

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

I got the same message.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Cool, thanks - I didn't see that gallery thing. I looked up the www.thetrailskc.com site and Hillcrest Road and saw the old version.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Sucks that it looks like you lost the roof. Everything else looks stellar, though.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Thanks!

Saw you on TV Sunday; congrats! Well, just your back, actually, which is how I knew it was you.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

I guess that's what I get for being a pure-as-the-driven-snow innocent, but I realize now (too late) that what I said could be taken "a certain way". Y'all should be ashamed.

His Crew jersey says "HARDHATMIKE" on the back. Sheesh!

I am sure HHM was just referring to the site map drawing and didn't realize ON Goal still hasn't decided on the roof.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Makes it kinda easy, doesn't it?

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

I guess I am kinda the media whore of the group.



But after that, my wife texts me and asks who the two cute guys behind me are.

Um...

yeah, that's what I meant.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

An excellent idea that would be better if done as a blind draw 4v4 co-ed event with mixed Cauldron/Starting 11 teams.

I wouldn't recommend standard bikinis in the sand though. I'm told sand does get everywhere if you are actually playing the best game ever invented.

Whatever date comes to be reality, if the date isn't at the start of the MLS season, KC will again have a situation where the front of the slate is packed with road games. No team in MLS has overcome that handycap as yet. All have suffered.

With that, a third season in CAB wouldn't be the worst thing from a results standpoint. If me, I wouldn't want to open a new venue in mid-season and in last place.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

If we do what RSL did this year, we wouldn't necessarily have a ton of road games to start the season. Half CAB, half Hillcrest Road in one season wouldn't be that bad of an option. Just make sure the timing is right so the stadium is 100% ready to go (unlike PHP) so we can dazzle the rest of MLS.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

I doubt that would happen. Salt Lake last season and Chicago in 2006 did not repeat the scheduling of the Galaxy in 2003 or Dallas in 2005.

In fact I think the league took some hard lessons from the slipping opening dates in Dallas in 2005. The reluctance to announce MLS Cup 2009 in Harrison without a better feel for progress on Red Bull Arena, for instance.

The Crew in 1999 had no alternative but to wait, but then the mid-May opening was the earliest of the four mid-season openings.

Given the fact that the bulldozers have yet to start rolling, we really don't know what the construction schedule is.

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

What are you.... like 16 now?

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

Something like that. I don't think I would want to be a teenager now, but I wouldn't mind turning back the clock about 10 years. Good thing I don't look or feel my true age or I would really be depressed today.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

This has nothing to do with the Stadium thread... but, I want to 'second' that emotion. I grew up playing baseball (my dad's love). When my son was five and came home asking to play soccer 'with ALL the other kids'... I said, "Go for it." His grandfather was deeply disappointed. Oh, well. Soccer provided my son and his parents many many good memories... all the way up through college. His own two little girls love watching Daddy play in the Rec league.

I too believe the naysayers are running scared.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

My suggestion on opening day at Hillcrest? (thanks for asking)

World Cup 2010 Final. Show it on the JumboTron inside the stadium prior to the Wizards' kickoff. Party like ya mean it.

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

On the difference of the pictures, the large squareish building below the stadium has changed. It used to be a more rounded thingy. Could that have been a rotunda getting axed?

 

Re: FUNDS APPROVED! - Wizards Stadium Thread v8.4

We may be analyzing the new rendering a little to much. It's probably just a mock up for the site map.

As someone who does design comps on a regular basis, we are always adding in elements just to "give an idea" of how something might look or where it will go. Even if we know it will look completely different. This probably goes for the stadium, as well as the buildings surrounding it.

Since no actual design renderings (of anything) have been released, they probably don't want to give anything away on the site map too early.
