I'm sure everyone knows this, but there is a LOT of time to see major changes to this horrible design. Contact council, show them similar priced stadiums that actually look like they belong in 2012. I just pulled 3 pics of stadiums and showed my wife. Her first response to the new Cats stadium - "it looks just like Ivor Wynne. Why are all the steel beams showing?"
It doesn't take an expert to see how pathetic this design in.
Compare:
Rio Tinto - http://www.teamgearsoccer.com/repository...
BBVA Houston - http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets...
Winnipeg CFL Investors Group Field - http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/wpg/images/thu...
PPL Park, Chester PA - http://www.wvmetronews.com/images/ppl-pa...
Notice in all of these stadiums, they have exterior streetwalls so they look like an actual building, not a bunch of steel undergirders. Also, they all have partial roofs.
And they all have a design flair that makes them a landmark.
Ticats call this a 'neighbourhood stadium'? I'm pretty sure the neighbourhood would have windows, brick walls and front doors across the street instead of steel beams.

Council seems pretty ticked...finally. Let's find out where our $145 million went, and demand a proper, 21st Century design. A lot of deadlines and deals yet to be made.
