“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Good.

Nice! Although why the hell did they leave one end so totally open?! Weird. If someone takes a wayward shot the ball will end up miles outside the stadium, literally. Hah!
We are the Angry Mob, we read the papers every day
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed
Its quite odd that their luxury suites are literally at field level with the stands being above them. Looks kinda cool though.
Anyone else notice they released nana?
i knew he was trialing but didnt know he was released.
I do wonder what happened to that boy
That roof is gonna tear this league apart.

quakes going retro for their season seat holders.
if you pick up seasons seats, youll get a seperate set of tickets and a throwback jersey. cant wait till our organizations (not toronto offshots) we're old enough to see "throw backs", although im disappointed we missed the 80's designs.
What IS it with 3 sided stadiums these days?! So weird!
They are spending $60 million - that's less than BMO cost 6 years ago. That don't get you 4 sides.
Three-sided satdia are a bit strange, but you can't beat the price. It's exciting times in MLS.

So they can put on concerts, isn't it?Originally Posted by T-boy

I think so. It's also a more flexible construction project. Can't argue with economics. In the end, they are getting what they need, a new stadium. That is good for everyone!

Aren't a lot of mid sized NCAA football stadiums and big high school football stadiums 3 sided as well? It might just be an American thing
Check it out http://www.collegecharlie.com/stadiums.html
Other than the bowls you can clearly see a lot of the really big stadiums were 3 siders that they expanded (a la Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas A and M, Stanford, Texas Memorial (barely) etc)
A lot 3 sided still (Harvard, South Carolina, Appalachan State)
And a lot more that aren't on this dudes random list of stadiums
Definitely. Considering original team Quakes owner AEG moved the team when their effort to build a stadium failed. If this effort with Wolff got sandbagged too, that would have been a situation.
NASL team San Antonio has a groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow for this impressive stadium.

Dope stadium, but in san antonio the uncovered people are going to COOK in july and august.
They have plans to expand the stadium to 18,000, should they hope to get into MLS. Although it would look something like this:NASL team San Antonio has a groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow for this impressive stadium.
Not sure I like that final phase.

The final phase seems unrealistic. It would be make much more sense to build a stand behind the second goal area even if they have to move that road back slightly.
I've been in San Antonio in June, and it was disgusting hot (95° F with 85% humidity). Shade should be a minimum requirement!

my guess is they probably will play there summer games at night time so it wont be nearly as hot as it is in the day time.
Its a new thing, at least in NA stadium design. The Dallas Cowboys did it in their new stadium, though they also had them at other levels too so customers could choose.
