Why did it take TAF so long to get the architecture right?

The SEZ expansion is going to look incredible from the outside, but the west uppers are such an architectural abortion that the great looking new addition is just going to accentuate the shittiness of it.
So the question has to be asked: what in the hell were they thinking when the built the west uppers?

Along those same lines, who in the hell designed the new Alex Box Stadium? What a disappointment from the outside. Very functional but ugly as hell...

IMO it looks very bland. I don't think it looks terrible now that the chain link fence has been replaced but it is definitely not the same style as the old bowl or the new SEZ expansion (which looks great btw)
Its kind of amusing to know that some architect probably has renderings of the east & west uppers proudly on display in their office. I wonder if you can see the PVC pipe in those renderings.

Architect for the west uppers were more concerned with making a name for themselves. They have built some real abominations around the area over the years. They paid absolutely no respect to the design elements of the rest of the stadium.
It's hideous....and I hope they tear the whole west upper deck down and start over. It's the stadium version of Middleton library to me.
Crappy modernist and contemporary design has become the norm in an industry influenced by egotistical jerk offs. Sticking out is more important than design quality. I've heard some of them call the west upper an "architectural marvel".
The new SEZ design isn't horrible, but I don't like the placement of the arches. Arches should be holding something up.

Am I the only one who thinks the new South endzone looks bad - on the outside?
The inside looks incredible.

The SEZ expansion is the one that's going to look like a fricking abortion from the outside

Exactly, I lol every time the board archect said that you could do not this or that because it would go out to the street or other reasons.Give me the money and I'll cut the roof off the dome and make it retractable and add more suits while doing it.
