    How long before they just tell us that it’s going to be a brick box? What’s the deal with all the glass designs?

    The original idea was to project onto the outside of the glass walls. Things like video of the game inside, sports scores, advertisements, etc.

    yes, good idea. project the game on the outside of the building so that people don’t have to pay for tickets to see it. then this project will go under just like union station is. fabulous.

    To me it looks kinda like a birth control sponge.

    Just wait another few months and it will change again when they realize they can’t afford these either. Do we have 3rd graders doing our budget in KC. What the fuck.
