Looks like they are installing a copper roof on the ancillary buildings at Austin's Stadium. Copper as you know patinas into a green color after 20 years (Ex: the Statue of Liberty). Kinda neat feature, because it would change from what is essentially the University of Texas color (burnt orange) pretty neat if true. Although I could be wrong it could very well just be an orange looking plywood.
You should visit an optometrist if you think UT Orange & roofing copper are within 10 pages of each other in the Pantone / Sherwin-Williams color fans Burner Account - We're still trading threats on the main account - They have no apreciation for the classic telling a racist making a comment on an MLS game injury to "go die in a fire"
This is hilarious... But Mike should bite his tongue. If somebody wants to spend more to make a soccer stadium look nicer and more significant, let's let them believe that roof will "amplify" sound.
Aside from the ethical quandary of having to have a lie be perceived as fact by people with no more investment in the project than their annual season ticket costs, there are substantial liabilities to the Architect if the roof does not actually amplify the sound (it doesn't,) but those who made decisions (or the voting stakeholding taxpayers) on the additional cost were led to believe that it would by the design team, and substantial liability if someone could convince a jury that they lost part of their hearing because the roof made the sound level increase to a degree that could damage hearing and the Owner / Operator did not advise them to wear hearing protection. Consult your local ambulance chaser on what a jury can and will do with a sympathy case like a deaf little girl who can't follow her career to Julliard because she's lost 40% of her hearing Both functional and aesthetic
Anyone who's attended games at Mapfre understands the singular, overwhelming value of having a roof. And it isn't, and never was, about sound.
meh... Amplify vs increase volume. The general public sees them as equal. Sure, the roof will not electronically (or magically) amplify the volume, but it sure will increase it. Why is yelling inside a house so much louder than yelling outside? Reflection of sound waves has something to do with it. But we all know this already.
"Amplify" was perhaps a poor choice of words or even over- enthusiastic flummery. Calling it a " lie" scurrulously intended to dupe the public with Goebbels-level propaganda is simply ridiculous. No commercial decisions will be erroneously made based on that kind of comment, and no one is going to say " well, I wasn't really into this project or this team but wow, if the roof is going to AMPLIFY the sound, hell, that changes everything. I'm in" Additionally, there was no voter jnput on the stadium. None. And the design was not even a vision ehen the project was approved. In short this entire argument is rubbish. Chill out my freind.
Whether that's the reason or not, there's virtually no activity on the site today: https://www.westendstadium.com/construction-cam-2 Just a few stray workers on site. Normally, I assume there'd be a few hundred.
There is a thread on reddit that says that the guy was fired, so it seems to be supported. Apparently the person worked for Turner. Unfortunately this type of thing happens. Strong quick response.

Wasn't Nashville supposed to get a team? They seem to be putting in slightly more effort than Sacramento. Here's their "Weekly" Update. https://www.nashvillesc.com/post/2020/07/20/weekly-stadium-update-july-17
More like "Weakly" AMIRITE? You get it??! Cause it sounds like "Weekly." Weekly and weakly sound the same, and weakly means not strong. So, like...
To be fair, apparently they did set up a fence around the project area. Did their spouse nag them or something?
