I'm more concerned about them putting the stucco finish on the rest of the concrete on the new addition. It's been relatively stagnant for weeks now.

They got the cross beams for the windows done and missing some windows on near the elevator part and they installed concrete blocks in that area. I was under the impression the entire facing would be covered by windows weather they are not functional or not.

It looks absolutely horrible to have white stucco next to grey brick. I hope to God that it's not true that they aren't painting it to match the white stucco right next to it. I know it's not completed yet, but if they don't do this, the expansion will always look uncomplete.

So you want the top sections to be made out of concrete versus a beautiful, top notch natural stone? Neat.


Reading comprehension man... All the buildings on the top should look the same. The 2 on the left have a lighter plaster while the other four adjacent buildings have the darker, natural stone CMU look. My point is pick one, and make them all the same.

The 4 interior legos will remain the same. They already installed lights and other fixtures so they will not be the stucco finish. It looks odd but doesnt look too terribly bad.

Some of the things going on with the rest of the facade concerns me the most.

What if there are some structural components that didn't allow it? What if they had it that way so that with weathering and natural changes, they even out over time? We don't know, I for one am not an architect, and I think it looks great.

It will be interesting to see if they paint the bathroom legos tht off white color to match the box on the left or if they with leave then gray. It has been like this for a while so its not like they are in the middle of painting.


Well I'm Not a fan of the Lego look on the SEZ expansion. I will see what it looks like on Sept. 6th When I make the home opener.

Hoping it will all start coming together..

If any of you guys notice this on gameday, you obviously didn't fricking drink enough.

Can't wait until the powers that be put ads on those buildings. I just want to see the rant burn.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. When it's gametime, I'll be looking at the field and I could care less what some lego peices looked like. Their paint color is a non-issue.

bullshite!

I'm going to take a walk around the entire circumference of the stadium on the morning of Sept. 6. If the colors aren't perfectly coordinated and they haven't done something about the LEGGOS, someone is getting a nasty letter!

I am told that there is no ketchup at the concession stands or paper towels in the restrooms.

Oh my God, how are they going to be able to have a game there?

can you really not see that the part up top on the left side is almost white while the rest is dark gray?


can you really not see that the difference is that the darker ones are slightly shaded due to the angle of the observed face with respect to the sun which is different than the one which is less shaded which is more directly facing towards the sun?

hypercritical much?
