Chisoxfn Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Sorry to hear about your Grandma LDF. When I was back in Chicago in August, I drove by it and it looked really funny. I think at worse they'll have to redo the pillars and make them bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 When I drove past Soldier Field it looked like a massive f***ing inclined bowl inside Soldier Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeportHeather Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 There was absolutely no reason to even do any of this project! It looked fine just the way it was. People are starving out there and teams "must" have new stadiums. Bullcrap! If people actually used things until they couldn't be used anymore, instead of going out and buying a replacement, maybe we might not be in this poor state of economy! Use the money on stuff that REALLY matters rather than spending it on the latest "hi tech" stuff such as stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy Young Porzio Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 how about you all stop b****ing about how bad new soldier field looks because it really doesnt matter. People are still going to show up being true bears fans, and we will still have the bears no matter what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters because the city gets a bad image with that space shuttle of a stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Ya, I saw it when I was in Chicago, it looked bad, but I figured they knew what they were doing. Now I see they just designed the thing terribly, cause it looks freaking hideous in the pictures. That is nowhere near like Comiskey park. I actually think Comiskey Park is pretty nice looking, the seats in the upperdeck may suck, but the rest of the park is pretty nice, imo. Soldier Field, well those pictures look terrible.

Mr. Showtime Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 You we're here a few months ago, the skeleton wasn't as far along. The stadium has already been bashed in the media. I'm sure the finished product will look nice, just from afar, it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
