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.


Still don't know what they saw in Trahan. It was a disaster.

What did you expect them to do? Plaster a bunch of damn arches all over the thing? The west upper is sleek, and it's a perfect marriage of design and functionality. The proportions and geometry are spot on. Perhaps they could have done something different as far as materials, but the overall design is fine.

Trahan also designed the softball stadium, which is stunning. Wish they would have done the SEZ expansion
