Wow, that's pretty delayed. Which is sad because I usually love that view.

I hate to say this, because I hate negative people on this board, but I was in BR for the first time this weekend to see the construction, and those damn bathrooms look absolutely terrible from the outside. I mean they look ridiculous. But the optimist in me thinks they will fix it with an exterior facade after this year

Outside color seems to match the other side on these pics.


Not really.

Also notice that both pics are from when it was cloudy so neither are in direct sunlight.

In person, its pretty clear its not the same color or finish.

North looks like etched concrete painted gray
South looks like stucco finish panel design,a light tan color like alex box,energy bldg, etc..

The darker tone on the north side complements the P-Mac & the lighter tone on the south end zone complements the School of Coast & Environment building. I can understand why they went with two different tones

Isn't it nearly impossible to see both end zone exteriors at the same time? Also, won't aging/time/patina bring the colors (greyish beige or beigish grey) closer over time anyway? Plus around 2/3 of our home games are at night...

I do tend to be a positiger, but not thrilled about the lego boxes --> either extend the stands up and over or make them symmetrical/contiguous or add an exterior facade to clean up the look.

Everything else looks great!

Of course it is but when you walk around the change is very noticeable.

Yes, it is nearly impossible to see the exteriors at the same time. But my 5 minute walk today confirmed it is two different finishes and different colors.

Then what's your reasoning then, wizz? Think Alleva forgot the north endzone paint code?

The east upper, west upper, and south upper are as inconsistent as it gets design-wise. Tiger Stadium looks like some shitty European soccer stadium with random pieces added on over decades.

All of these expansioi were done within the last 15 years which is inexcusable

Yeah, you would think the exterior facade would be much more congruent and seamless.

Would you have preferred the south endzone to look like the west endzone design wise? That would have solved our inconsistency problem.
