The two images you've juxtaposed actually look nothing alike. Which is the problem. One is an imitation with proportions that are entirely off. It's not that I wouldn't want something that mirrors the north--it's that I DO want something that mirrors it. The renderings show that someone has taken that mirror and warped it, stretched it to fit a larger area without considering how the stretches and extensions conflict with the original inspiration.

It is not as if you can see them both at the same time anyway. Is someone going to walk from the North endzone around to the South endzone and complain that the proportions are off? Some people will complain about everything. Good is never good enough.

I'm a building nerd so I would notice but I wouldn't care either. Even though I like symmetry the aesthetics are there. Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned, is that form follows function.

Will some people notice proportions are off?

Bless your heart. Yes. There are principles of design that matter. And it is normal for the human mind to compare, contrast, and connect.

I'm not expecting an exact copy. I'm expecting something with balance and vision. Not sure the renderings show that yet. Maybe they will. That's what this conversation is about.

Your mind might not be wired to consider way issues of beauty and aesthetics or to make connections. Cool for you. But don't dismiss others who have these sensibilities.
