It is expected that RFQ's to architects will go out in March. Probably, an architect gets selected in three months plus or minus.
I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts on how the new football facility should be designed. Should it lean toward a modern aesthetic, incorporate timberrelated elements, or strike a balance between the two? Another important consideration is seating capacity. Not too big or too small.
In my opinion, if columnlike structures are included, they could be designed to resemble pine tree trunks to reinforce a natural, regional identity. It might also be meaningful to incorporate a tribute to Bum Phillips in some way. That one is a tad bit nostalgic and selfish on my part.
Ultimately, the goal should be to create an experience that leaves guests wishing they had something just like it at their own schools.
The rendering from the masterplan are optimum imho. Gets us closer to the action and maximizes the fan experience. The estimated seating of 11,000 is perfect. If things get rolling it's easy to expand.
