I think it will be fine. I have no doubt there are already plans in place to do something with that wall....either a banner/painted logo/lighting or something.

It doesn't look as bad as the first pic but it still should have been a all glass structure. It would look so much better with windows on 3 sides instead of one side

It may would have not had enough support. The Design use to be for Structures was for 200 MPH Winds. All Glass Structures do not have a lot of support in high winds and usually the glass ends up on the ground. You have to look at all the Design Considerations for a Project.

You realize you are saying that all three additions don't match. And that the new south does not match the original structure. ... yet you think the south, which again you say does not match, is the best of them...... can't believe I couldn't follow that

no, i'm saying that the south DOES match the original structure

Couldn't they have put the arches and windows like here:

And continued to put them on the side on the lego? Seems like it would have looked better. Wish I was a photo shop expert.

You tell me what you do, and I'll rehash what I do.

It was the fact that you could see a huge white PVC pipe underneath the new West Upper Deck. This place went on and on about it for years. Some said just paint it. It has been taken care of now with paint.

Oh my god. That's almost like a tumor. I just don't even know an architect who would allow that. What made them finally paint it? The endless ranting?

Who knows. But posters here don't mind taking the credit for it.

Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't here for the PVC stuff either. Always wondered where it came from.
