HARD TO HATE, BUT WHAT'S TO LOVE

The WaPo shows the stadium design. Lots of glass and concrete. Hard to love this functional, "modern" design. Turns out that the word "modern" was a code word for "easy-to-build" and not a daring contemporary design. Looks like our/any Convention Center. JDLand has lots of detail, plus there is this video.

The proposed above ground parking would be a shame. The use of concrete instead of limestone is not necessarily bad. But its uninspired design could lead to a tear-down in 30 years.

Maybe it will grow on us. Alright let's get this thing built. It's great for DC.
