Imagine some Rocky-esq statue (instead of a banner) being unveiled every time we elected a player to ring of honor Simply Roman I don't know any Klingon outside warf (**** I was replying to the quote I posted above lol.)

RedBeast Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We could go really old school...like Jeremiah Johnson or Dances with Wolves type old school.

Tastes Like Chicken Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Needs a roof, if we want a super bowl. Looks like a laundry basket but I can get over that. The moat kayaking idea is ludicrous.

RedskinsLegacy Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Looks like a salad bowel! Not a fan, maybe if they add skins colors. Where is the feature to reflect the noise back at the field? That's what I really wanted. I agree, I want the most a design to keep the noise inside the stadium and that design isn't any better than FedEx.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I agree, I want the most a design to keep the noise inside the stadium and that design isn't any better than FedEx. It's worse than FedEx because it isn't as tall. It's wide and flat. I was at the VT/Boise game at FedEx and it was deafening. I couldn't hear myself talk. So FedEx can get plenty loud in its design because at least the stands are steep which helps keep the noise in. This design doesn't work at all. It's like playing in the center of a daisy.

thebluefood Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I hate all these new futuristic stadiums. I don't like the one in Atlanta either. Agreed. I'm not an expert in architecture by any means, and I encourage artists (which I believe architects, at their root, are) to follow their creative instincts, but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was "this firm better give my Grandma her gravy bowl back before we have Easter dinner." I guess I'm kind of an old school guy when it comes to stadiums. I've always admired the Greco-Roman coliseum style and I think it suits a game like football. Old and run down as they are, I think the L.A. Coliseum and the Rose Bowl are the gold standards to me. But, ultimately, no matter what the Redskins play in, as long as they're in or around Washington, D.C., they'll have my constant support. So, if it's the "Gravy Bowl" I guess we'll have to make do.

RemoveSnyder Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 There's just so much more than what the stadium looks like on the outside that is going to define this project as a success or a failure. No matter what kind of outside aesthetic they come up with, once they hand food management over to Aramark, it's no different than any other place, or any old place we had before. No matter what kitschy architectural elements the Danes come up with tying our regional association to water, once the molded plastic seats get drilled into concrete, it's no different than any other place, or any old place we had before. Honestly, there needs to be multiple teams of professionals assembled for this kind-of project. You need city planners in the design stage. You need engineers in the design stage. You need people who intuitively understand how to manage traffic on a large scale. We need big picture, big systems, people. The best thing anyone can do with this new stadium is find a way to build the most innovative system to manage traffic. It doesn't matter what the stadium looks like outside or inside, once fields of asphalt surround the damn thing like an ocean, it's no different than any other place, or any old place we had before. I don't want to see fields of asphalt. Let's face it, people are going to drive to this stadium no matter what public transit systems are in place from local government. And people are inherently going to be inefficient, wasteful and pollution prone. If you want to manage the system of traffic, you are going to need to invent it yourself. Invest in the brightest minds who can manage traffic on a city scale, a regional scale, then employ them to design and manage it for the stadium and the immediate surrounding area. You know, the picnic in the park notion that Ingels was blabbing about was so disconnected from what actual tailgating resembles right now. I don't know how to design a better or more enticing tailgate experience myself, but it sure as hell ain't Ingels either. Unless you have a team of people willing to innovate everything better then we'll just end up with a nice new facade with the same old bull**** we've always had.

mike42 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It's not great, but at least the idea doesn't look like a mess. Moat is a cool idea. People will use it as toilet and they will have to fence it off and it won't look as interesting. I think I agree with the old school crowd here. Go with Roman architecture. Looks timeless to me and the team represents the nations capital. Why not do something like the roman coliseum with the statues? Put the 100 greatest redskin statues outside the stadium.

DogofWar1 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 About how many cars park at Fedex each game? My solution of having lots of automated parking garages (with a tailgate lot too, but most parking being automated) may or may not be practical depending on that number.

Wyvern Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Maybe Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen should try to get a second opinion? There might be better designs out there -- ones that better fit the team and fans needs. I really don't care for the design -- it doesn't seem to be maximizing the "home-field" noise advantage; it doesn't attempt to address the adverse weather conditions we face in this region, it looks like it has serious choke-point issues for the fans being able to move about, and overall doesn't seem very practical (especially if it's actually entertaining the idea of some kind of 'moat.')
