    I'm not a naysayer.

    Any reference to "Euro" is a drinking game we like to play around here.

    Not referrering to you specifically. Agreeing that the problem-finders and nitpickers need to chillax with a drink or a pill.

    I'm sure if we all actually played that game we'ed have alcohol poisoning.

    did he say against who? I would imagine B'ham Southern because that is where Daryl Shore played in college.

    I think he meant a game against another MLS team in Birmingham.

    Another question: In the foreground of the 3D drawing there is a little building. This LOOKS like a mass-transit/subway stop. I know it would only be in my wildest dreams for the Orange Line to actually make it out to the stadium, but if this isn't it, what is it?

    I noticed it as well. Maybe Liam knows for sure. But I was thinking ticketbooths, or Megastore or something like that.

    The answer is actually right in front of you. Look in the upper right for the key.

    It's a LaSalle Bank. Read into that what you will.

    The store, ticketbooths, and restaurant are all part of the stadium proper.

    That shed is a mystery -- maybe a souveneir booth.

    Ticketbooths seem to be left of the arch.

    I would be shocked if they are building underground tunnels for an L line that MIGHT be built years from now. I always assumed that any L extension would be elevated.

    Ah. I thought the sign and bank were going to be across Harlem, and didn't realized that was a key.

    WELCOME TO LASALLE BANK PARK! Could it?! Maybe? Nah?! :p

    you're obviously missing your sarcasm genes or maybe a little homophobic.

    Look, just because you recieve your mail there is no reason to be a smartass. Will the new stadium have a saloon - a watering hole, a dungeon of dionysus, a basilica for bacchus -- can I get plowed there without having to choke down an overpriced sandwhich. I take my wife to restaurants - will the stadium have a pub!?!

    Whoa, overreactionmuch. No need to get upset.

    YES IT WILL HAVE A PUB. OR RESTAURANT. OR HOUSE OF BREW. OR A DRINKING HUT.

    whatever :)

    of course, if David Quinn was naming the thing it WOULD be a Saloon.

    Sorry - it's cocktail hour and I'm still at the office.

    There was an old tin pan alley song -
    something about - "the first word I heard my Daddy speak - Saloon, Saloon, Saloon - runs through my brain like a tune - I don't mind cafes, and I hate cabarets - but mention saloon, and my cares fade away - it brings back a fond recollection, of a little old, low-ceiling room - with a bar, and a rail, and a dime, and a pail - Saloon, Saloon, Saloon!"

    Time to sing and drink - not necessarily in that order.
