Message: [QUOTE="Ottoble, post: 798176, member: 2539"] My thoughts from a facilities and destination standpoint. Seating: Benches or stadium seats either way they need to be multi colorized throughout the dome to give the full effect all the time for TV and patrons. If no Stadium seats possibly seat backs for the upper deck? Concourses: I would encourage Sheetrocking the concourses and bathrooms, putting down a nice durable floor membrane on the concrete like the one they have in Citi field which happens to be white orange and blue. Also tripling the lighting candle power in the concourses along with adding windows if possible and painting all the overhead mechanicals a single color (black?). Think a combo of the MSG renovation and the Citi field finishes. Swap out the sheet metal mens room troughs with porcelain troughs. Food: Improving and innovating the food offerings to make the dome more of a destination include popular local faire by partnering with local restaurants and popular NYS food options (shake shack and anchor bar branded buffalo chicken strips anyone?) would really make a huge difference in making the dome a viable food destination beyond the game. Video Boards & AV: Replay every play at least once regardless of what happens and really multiple times from multiple angles. The dome should have the best in video equipment including multiple angles and the fly over cam that they have at MNF, partner with Newhouse to get the equipment and use it as a teaching tool for TRF. Make a deal with ESPN or ESPN goal line to show highlights of other games on the video boards during TV timeouts. Sound/Home field advantage: Commission a sound engineer to determine how to make the dome even louder in both football and basketball setups with acoustical panels etc. Also figure out which sections of the dome make the most noise on what part of the field due to sound reflection so those sections can be called to make lots of noise on the video boards. Maximize home field advantage. Seattle built their football stadium with the intent of it being as loud as possible and guess what, it is. This is likely cheaper than it sounds as it is already very noisy when the dome is rocking. All of these items are the present and future of Stadium design. Their order of importance IMHO is as listed (with replaying every down being higher importance than listed due to the other AV info) but I think they all should go in. [/QUOTE]
