Re: Major League Soccer Stadium in Minneapolis
so LA get's a rendering of their stadium and a plan. we get fuzzy details about a possible stadium and bungled PR campaign to lobby legislators. he hasn't even officially secured the land yet has he? (mcguire) they don't want to release it because it's still far from a done deal. and we're supposed ...

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)
how much of the project's funding is certain and what more is left to secure from the state? I've read quotes from peter mclaughlin that they've secured 80%

Re: Major League Soccer Stadium in Minneapolis
mayor was trying to protect city's massive investment in vikes stadium. she quietly backed the wilf's getting the expansion nod. i think mcguire should've gone to the county from the beginning. some PR and political stumbles since the expansion press conference. they didn't have their ducks in a row.

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
the cladding is definitely darker than the renderings/models. i don't mind a darker black but the renders show a lighter brown. it's going to look very futuristic with this black and clear glass.

Re: Minneapolis Sculpture Garden & Walker Art Center
I'm definitely not in love with the new landscaping, particularly at the main entrance. It looks ruthlessly cheap and suburban. Berms? Ugh. Why. This corner is the most visible side of the museum and the gateway to one of the biggest attractions in the Twin Cities paired with the Sculpture Garden. ...

Re: Major League Soccer Stadium in Minneapolis
Yesterday's entire production was so completely amateur and not becoming of an allegedly major sports league. Actual popular sports in North America have cities and their leaders lined up to welcome expansion or relocated teams. The MLS, despite having many large wealthy markets without a team has ...

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
reserving judgement waiting for the exterior install. it's a really massive building. i can see it from the 46th street 35w elevated bus station.
and i don't like the walker expansion, in retrospect. it's a hulking, cold presence on hennepin. it should be more light and transparent.

Re: AC Marriott Hotel (401 Hennepin Ave / Andrews Hotel site
yea i don't what it is about mortenson and their renderings. or maybe they just build bland buildings. that new hotel over by first avenue isn't anything special. the rendering they released for the nicollet hotel block is the worst of the proposals.
