the garage doesn't need to be near either stadium, this way they could incorporate a nice light rail stop from the garages to the stadiums/arenas.
-
atleast we can bank on astros being a second half team, right?
-
162 game schedule. plenty of time.
-
i think the tailgating is somewhat imnprotant to the soccer world, but realistically, people will come either way. If the sports Rockets/Astros/Dynamo all did a garage together that might be financially possible. They do have overlapping games, but its not hard to build a large garage to hold for 2 events at once. If they do a nice job, it will be a nice addition to the skyline?
-
lol, I do think they will have a system, I would just be pissed if I am paying 2,000 a month to hear construction, but in the end its probably worth it.
-
freeway noise is much different than Hammers/Drills. Especially if they even get near falling behind and they work in the wee hours of the night. Or even better waking up to that every morning at 6. Maybe I am just biased because I live near a tower going up and it is so annoying to wake up every morning to that noise.
-
that is kind of a pain for the residents though, to deal with the noise of a second building going up a rocks throw away.
-
from the construction photos, it looks like only the 1 tower, was the second tower nixed?

yea I do actually I went to school there. and I used to live in Costa Mesa, I know the area well. It isn't built like a proper city. It really misused and mishandled its city. Dense sprawl isn't good. Sprawl is never good, when you enjoy urban environments. I didn't say LA was a shitty city, I said that it wasn't built like a proper city, they could of done so much more with it. Well with SF, I think the best part of their skyline isn't downtown. They built downtown in a funny way because of topography. Unless you are in Oakland you can't enjoy the city skyline. If you go west and view the city from across GG bridge the skyline is much more impressive. downtown west of downtown. Without restrictiosn you have a better way to fill in the city, and make the city flow better. I think that is why SF has one of the best transit systems also. You never need a car, between MUNI, CC, Street Cars, BART you can get anywhere within a good distance.

they aren't building up they are building to much sprawl. Also, they had a chance to build a great large city. I think they built wrong. LA has the view of the valleys, great campuses, and so much more, and you really miss out on that. Residential neighborhoods should be in the towns outside the main cities, they shouldn't consume them.

I get to enjoy Daisuke on NESN, and he didn't pitch as well as he has in spring training. His breaking balls are amazing, and he can place the fastball well. He is isn't overpowering, so I am concerned unless he has great location ie; the Maddux's of the world, he will have a tough time. Overall though his breaking stuff really keeps them off balance so he should do decent. Also historically these Japanese pitches have really faded from great to eh over the first 5 years, so hopefully he lasts longer. The change in pitching I think has a huge effect on that.
-
I read a little, do you think the best bet is to be near transit ? and also do you think they should build a garage or a lot. garage may look more asthetic, but it will be a pain in the ass to get out. I personally, wish soccer would take the approach of baseball, and build fields in the city, with basically on transit, and parking surrounding areas in garages. With soccer every view you can have a great site for the city, and I think like most ballparks it helps the city be more than just a city, the outdoor atmosphere is so much more than just an indoor area, especially in the city.
-
how do you think the bullpen is going to look... LR, MR, Specialist, SR, SU, and CL. I think they need to get a few easy series (like the pitt one should of been) to get roger back. I think roger may spark the team a little, it seems to have done that the past few years.
-
LA doesn't have the skyline, but it does have the people. I see Chicago as a possibility within 20 years, maybe less. I do not think Houston has a chance at LA or NYC for a while, but I don't know the change rate. It also depends on development, because NYC is basically full, and LA is building wrong.
-
do you have any project maps with more of the developments? I keep seeing projects, over 19 pages of renderings, but not really sure where any of them are. thanks.
-
looks like just an advertisement to me.
-
and that is always important don't you hate old buildings that just aren't tall enough.
-
a little off topic, but since houston has so much more room, and NYC is basically at capacity, do you think houston could ever catch and pass NYC in total towers/people, also when? and how about the other chicago and LA as well.
-
i think it is an interesting building, and a unique aspect would be added to the skyline. If every building is the same, the city begins to look boring.
