We seem to like punishment, maybe that's why SU has such a great architecture program :)). Eric Moss was a student then and his thesis jury included Mr. Gross. Upon seeing the model, Moss was immeditaely hired by Gross and ASG and asked to bring his model to their office in Baltimore. As the local firm, and with marketing ties to the Orioles, all meetings with out of town architects looking to propose schemes for the new stadium took place in the ASG office. Rumor has it that HOK got a look at the Moss model and immediately began to incorporate components into their proposals. It was a suspicious and enormous leap for the firm that had previously designed Kauffman Stadium, Arrowhead Stadium, Giants Stadium and many other "donut" stadiums.
