Wow that thing is crazy and an amazing presentation!

I don't like where they put the jumbo-trons at all. They already hurt my neck.

 

[LetsGoRams]

Wow. That is absolutely amazing. Can we hit the re-do button Peacock??

 

[bluecoconuts]

Wow, that is awesome.

It's really neat and futuristic looking....but I don't think that is something that will withstand time. I think in 10 years it will look weird/tacky.

estimated cost of that stadium is 950 Million...what gives?

I think the Rams' riverfront stadium design has the potential to be just as awesome, it's just that they need a commitment from the Rams before they take it any further. The Falcon's stadium has already gone through many preliminary designs, which the Ram's are just now beginning. The final design will be done by the same architects that did the Falcon's, 360 Architects / HOK.

it kind of looks like one of those swirly things you put in your garden to keep birds away. (which is ironic since they are the Falcons)

Yea, I think it's important to realize that the stadium shown is more to just get the ball rolling on negotiations, as well as show how much of the deal the city is willing to pay for.

 

[JonRam99]

Roger. There are already some pretty interesting proposed features though: the riverfront walk, the amphitheater, etc. have great potential for design development.

If you guys actually think that the stadium we showed will be the final project your nuts. It's a rough draft and nothing more. I guarantee they still have more add ons to make it a super bowl stadium.

I think Peacocks proposal also includes renovations to the dome along with building the new stadium.
Peacocks estimation of 950 million included both projects.

 

[Rambitious1]

Pretty impressive.

I really like the "nest" look to go along with the team and the way the roof opens up but after that I'm not sure. The roof from the inside looks a lot like the Ed Jones' roof that everyone complains about and like Chris said, those jumbotrons look higher up than normal and even look small. Maybe it'll be different in real life? It's a solid stadium but I didn't see a lot of bells or whistles that blew me away in that video. Are there more that weren't shown?

St. Louis' proposal may not have had a cool roof like that one but it did have the surrounding gentrification that will go a long way for the city.

 

[Ramhusker]

WOW! So that's why they are such in a hurry to hike our gas taxes down here. Well, at least it will get rid of some downtown slums in the process.

I can't help but wonder if that roof will leak. I don't know how much rain Atlanta gets.

The one thing that's for sure is the more sections the roof is in, the more potential for leaks.

Ugly

Looks like an oversized Japaneese woman's soccer stadium. That sucks lol

 

[Corbin]

Our design now sucks... need to update it if we hope to ever host a superbowl.

I'll say it out loud... The new proposal sucks compared to ATL and MIN. It absolutely sucks. No imagination or original thought whatsoever. And the fact that they designed it below the 70,000 minimum to attract a SB is flat out idiotic.

It's tough to sellout 70k seats in St. Louis. Maybe if we have a perennial winner it wouldn't be a problem, but not currently.

No city in the country could sell that out after our recent history after the GSOT.
