Out of all the homerism in this thread, this board would jizz if the dome would have gotten replaced with something like that

Hell no. If the Dome ever get's replaced, I'd want it to be by something that looks similar. The Super Dome just fits with the city.

Did you not see the giant arse hole in the roof? DD kept calling it a camera shutter.

I dunno what the final stadium will look like but I do know it'll have a retractable roof of some sort. They've emphatically stated they want this for Football + all the other sporting/concert events that go on there...

Well I guess it would be pretty cool for the stadium to take a picture on you.

What I'm getting from your posts is that you hate it as much as we do and you're considering dropping your Falcon fandom altogether.

Ha! I actually don't dislike the 2nd one. It's not my favorite, maybe a little too "new age" for me but I'm in my 30s. For the younger crowd, it'd probably be popular.
The 1st one seemed a little on the boring side, so if they could find middle ground between the 2 - I'd be happy.

They need to make sure that retractable roof is big enough for roddy whites head.

I'm not sure what's going on in that video. At first it sort of looks like Lucas Oil Stadium (which I hate), and then opens up, and it looks a lot better. Then it starts to twist on itself, and there's literally an anal sphincter opening up with "rise up" on the rim. WTF?

Its 2 totally different potential stadiums

1st one, i get it...

2nd, jesus christ. awful

Also, at what point is the whole "Rise Up" marketing campaign going to die? It's been three seasons now with the only results being consistent playoff bed poopings

I agree. I never said "Rise Up" even when it was started. "Rise Up" to me isn't a "thing". The terrible towls and stuff... now that's a "thing". Having a phrase as your thing is pretty weak to me.

See where I'm going with that one... ?

Last I heard they were shooting for early 2017. It'll be a while - they'll literally have to start from the ground up as it'll be on a new site.
