I just saw an article on Enron Field, describing a little hill (duffy's cliff) in center field that gives the Astro's new home a unique feel. If the Rockets were to get a new stadium, what would you want to add that would give it a unique nature never before seen? For example make the stadium outdoors, or have a launching pad inside, retractable roof.... Let me know what you would do if you were the architect. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
Fence in the court...so they can play "Cage" ball. ------------------ The farther the Rockets move down the standings, the farther I move down the bleachers.
What about an apollo space capsule/mockup hanging in the entryway? Or an actual rocket outside near the entry? (Maybe they can raid NASA's closet!) ------------------
Lynus, Naaa... the foo-foo crowd on the front row may think it gets too cold in the winters. Not to mention the lid would probably be shut most of the time because of the weather. And then that wind... eesh. ------------------ <this space for rent>
And there is no doubt some fool would parachute down and break his neck while a game was in progress. ------------------ "Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time"- Jimi Hendrix (Purple Haze)
How about have it sorta like that restaurant downtown, the "Spindle Top" (I think). Have the stands rotate around the court, so all the fans could get a different angle on the game. Man, that would be freaky... ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.
I was thinking the other night whether or not a retractable-roof basketball arena would be cool. It might add a "play ground" feel to our home games. ------------------ I need a new signature. 302
