    Just my preference, but while I'd like to see the sidelines 6 inches off the ground it would be nice to have the harlem end first row be 2 feet off the field to facilitate decoration better.

    A slight angle as in N-NE or as in a real bad bar pool table where all the balls head towards one pocket?

    And I agree with the idea of Harlem end being 2 foot up.

    Wouldn't that two foot wall be blocked by ad boards anyway?

    Even if it was two feet, it still would be a lot closer to field level than all other MLS stadiums...including the HDC.

    Are there any websites that have images of the stadium renderings that were unveiled on Tuesday??

    No, not as far as is indicated. HDC is pretty much ad-free on the walls anyhow.

    Oh, you mean the field boards, prolly. Maybe, but 2 feet sitll helps in adding another foot or two over it for a pole or something to hang things from. we'll work it out.

    It is my understanding that the Fire stadium drawings will be officially released on Tuesday, although some people got to see some at the Fire Works for Kids Foundation showing of Christmas with the Kranks last Tuesday night. Peter Wilt requested that those who took pictures do not post them until the official release on Tuesday.

    I have a feeling that your stadium is going to be the best in the MLS.
    Do you guy's think that the seats maybe being 6"inches from the ground might be a little too low for the spectators view of the field?

    A lot of people like to be close to the action but really being that low especially at midfield gives you no perspective.It is hard to see through a maze of players to follow the ball especially at mifield.Although english stadiums have these close seats the most desired seats for the real fan who wants to actually see the game is the mid level of the stadium at midfield.

    I was wondering if the Bridgeview Stadium is going to include a Stadium Club / Restaurant, like the HDC has and if there will be some offical team store?
