What would you like in a new stadium?, v. 7.0

I want pits for photographers and stools for ball boys.


Only way to get close is to get these guys out of the way.

 

If I may speak for Mark and some of my fellow drunkards, a proper Beer Garden would be excellent!

 

Beer garden, lots of fans (15k or more), good food, close to the action, relatively steep stands, roof if possible, and a winning team.

 

Thanks for speaking up for us.


I like the one with the trees.

 

Of course you may!

I don't like the palm trees. Bay Laurels would be good. Italian Cypress even. Oak trees (one of the smaller varieties). Something more appropriate to Northern California. Heck, some redwoods tucked into a corner of the stadium, or near the main gate, would be most excellent!

Roses are good!

I want the steep stands too!

Oh, and veggie food! We've got a Casbah? Let's have some hummus and falafels. Drive Through Falafel anyone?

And if we can squeeze in some Arabian looking arches near the north end?

And Wolff is going to put up a hotel or two in the development. So we need hotel rooms with hot tubs! And a bar in the hotel! And lots of MLS stuff in the lobby of the hotel! And an MLS Gear store in there somewhere.

GOOOOOOOO QUAAAAAAAAAAAAKES!!!!!!!!!!

I like this one!


It's a nice simple stadium with the focus on the pitch. The fans are close to the action. It's good. You could put the concessions in the end zones too, so that folks could go get beer or food and still see the match.

I love it!!

GOOOOOOOOOO QUAAAAAAAAAKES!!!!!!!!!!

I also like that Vancouver concept. I'm sick of the standard issue bowl, but I guess I'll take whatever at this point.

 

Oh, another thing that I really, really, really want in OUR new stadium. I want grass all the way to the first row of seats. What's with putting concrete around the pitch?! Are we trying to hurt the players? That's just dumb, and another way in which TheShaw rules.

Look at those Philly proposals. What's the dark brown stuff around the pitch?! And why are the fans so far from the action?!

If you put three yards of grass around the pitch, then build the ad boards into the wall in front of the first row of seats you get the fans closer to the action and you have enough space for the players to run out of bounds. That's what I want!!

GOOOOOOO QUAAAAAAAAKES!!!!!!!!!
