Please tell us if this is an Addition/Alteration, or a tear down and rebuild? ...along with is this a "form follows function", or "function follows form" solution. And, if the projected desired requirement of 120,000 seats will be accomodated??
It is an alteration that will require a lot of demolition. This is a form follows function design as most stadiums are and the 120,000 seats is a ridiculous figure. The Heery design called for 115K and even that is not a realistic number to hit. The capacity has been discussed to death previously. I originally calculated 107K based on the existing seating area to current capacity ratio applied to the increased seating area. However if the seats are widened by 2 to 4 inches each, the capacity drops to between 100K and 105K.

Assuming this actually gets that far, this doesn't have to be a solo act. Others can and should contribute. I would rather not take time to create alternative versions unless there was more in it for me. I commute 3 hours a day and usually work 50 hour weeks.
Chach - Give the brick a chance.
I am finished building the solid model on all sides. I am working on creating the materials and surface mapping as well as lights (exterior) I have not begun the surrounding areas but that is next on the list. I still plan on polishing more details into the model after rendering a few more update images.
Look to see new renders by Thursday or Friday!
