One of the problems I have with the stadium discussion, is that basic
due dilligence has not taken place and been made publicly available.
That is a fundamental starting point for any major project. The only
drawings I have seen are some colored squares on an aerial photograph,
hardly something that can be considered a master plan. There has been
zero public discussion about the design concepts, criteria and program
which is a critical factor in determining how invasive a project is or
if it is unfeasible. It isn't that hard to come up with a basic master
plan and a few concept sketches to address that lack of information.
Without that I am left to wonder if the plan for this stadium fits into
the overall plan for the river. I find it hard to believe they would be
doing fundraising without that information in place. If it is
available, they should put it out for public review. If they can't do
that, I would want to know why that is.
