[ATTACH=full]108220[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]108221[/ATTACH] That's a great article comparing the project to that awesome Vancouver stadium rebuild.  Thanks to whomever made that post.

I hope a decision and plan is expedited ASAP.  The Dome is only 4-5 years younger than the Kingdome and Pontiac Silverdome!!  We saw how decrepit and dated those became in their twilight.   It's just bad for everybody to keep using that venue in the same fashion, IMO.  The Dome isn't some fieldhouse/retro/nostalgic venue such as Cameron/Phog/Hinkle that transcends time.  It's a concrete box  losing its mojo and lore every passing minute much like how it was for our two old friends in Pontiac and Seattle.  I can only imagine the reaction of our players going into Yum, John Paul Jones, PEC, Lane Stadium, etc.   I don't care what they have to do or that it will change the skyline of the city/campus forever by removing that roof.  I'm sure plenty of posters feel the Dome is fine and still embrace it like it is the early 80s how it hit the scene with a bang as a revolutionary new venue for college.  Northwestern isn't probably a fair comparison but they are doing some incredible stuff on campus.  $260M athletic complex to open in 2018, Welsh-Ryan Arena is getting a $110M renovation.  They just finished a couple of years ago the new Bienen School of Music/Communication...$117M.  I just was in it last winter.  Incredible.  Other monster projects were recently completed as well.

Incidentally, I drove past what's left of the Silverdome last week when I was in that area.  Eerie.  The Palace as well.  SO far out from the city.  Silverdome especially.  We're talking an hour easy.  I'll leave a few parting images of what we don't want the Dome to become before they decide on a plan.  I'm also including a pic of the Silverdome now.  Cheers.
