[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new renders for the new downtown arena are out on the NSMT account, and it looks very flowy. I think the inspiration is the wispy iconography associated with wizards and wizardry in general. Lots of new, bright LED signage as well. I prefer the look of the current arena myself. [/quote]

Honestly, I think it looks appalling. Those giant waves and flashing neon will completely overwhelm the beautiful classical buildings that surround the arena. In a decade or two, it will be thought of in much the same way that we think of the Hoover Building now.

I hope somehow this concept gets shelved.[/quote]

The arena can't be buried. It's on top of the existing Metro station. [/quote]
