    Do we even know what is actually wrong? Even a major structural issue is unlikely to require a rebuild. A new firm will be brought in to design around the flaw or replace the flawed elements I’m guessing. The net cost to spurs will likely be the delay and a possible hit to cash flow as they have to pay twice until they can sort out compensation from whomever is responsible—possibly in court or bankruptcy.

    Will be a wet dream if they have to sell Kane et al. to finance this toilet. Headlines write themselves: “Spurs choose stadium in loo of star players”

    No Bechtel isn't an Arcnitectural firm (I didn't claim they were), they don't design stadiums, but give them an infrastructure project and they will take it from design to construction. If they have special need for an architect, they will subcontract them.

    Are they the contractor, designer, or both? Their website suggests they are capable of both.

    These signature projects are almost always won by architecture firms

    OTOH, you have an army of lawyers at your disposal should you get arrested in any one of like, 10 states.

    Gotta take the good with the bad. ;)

    My evidence professor was obsessed with My Cousin Vinny. Absolutely loved it and would go over various scenes (especially the voir dire of an expert scene) to make a lecture point.

    My property professor showed us the castle sinking scene from Monty Python to illustrate . . . something.

    I only remember this because I posted to facebook in class about how awesome it was, only to get cold called two minutes after I posted.

    What? Not entertaining for you? That's great stuff. Now don't get me started on The Rule in Shelley's Case or the Doctrine of Worthier Title --- real snoozers, those topics are.

    Not a lawyer, just someone who worked for a company that subcontracted with A&E firms, including Bechtel, on occasion.

    I'm no lawyer. And call me crazy, but I find these discussions more interesting than the NBA chit chat of the past. <he ducks, ready for the oncoming pie or fist> At least it's marginally on-topic in that it's about the stadium of another footy team, and coincidentally our arch rival.

    p.s. What I find somewhat objectionable is that the whole discussion was based on what seems to be a wild ass rumor about having to rip it down and start over. OK, right.

    He has a right to be bothered, Vlade Divac is criminally underrated by basketball fans.
