Not sure what you are referring to.... this below is just a structural model of the same rendering you replied to. And that is the final plan.
He was just looking for an excuse to say "Ugh."

The time it has taken is not all that incredible when compared to other MLS stadium projects. For example, the New York Red Bull apparently started stadium negotiations in 1996 and finally opened in 2010. Kansas City's took longer as well. When you add in the fact that the Dynamo Stadium is the only MLS stadium in an urban location, it makes the timing even less incredible. A suburban location almost certainly could have been achieved more quickly.
Fair enough, I didn't know that about the New York stadium. I guess I've just been wanting it to be built for a long time so it seems like forever. It ended up being good timing though: with Discovery Tower, MainPlace, Embassy Suites, and the ballet building all finishing up, we need some new construction downtown. Hopefully they have a good construction cam!

I don't have a lot of info but it sounds like Dynamo are going to build their stadium just east of MMP. More info later..
It's incredible that it's taken this long (that was the first post, from November 2006) to get this thing started, but I'm glad it's finally happening. Hopefully it leads to more development in that area.

The new president of the Dynamo expects ground to be broken next month. It's about time, finally we can move this topic to Going Up!

I believe that this is the same thing... Although that thread says 14 stories and this says 19. Maybe it grew 5 floors? That would be nice.

Well the outside may be ugly, but the inside sure looks interesting:

Grand Parkway Expansion
in Traffic and Transportation
Posted
If Forbidden Gardens is any indication (closing to make way for Grand Parkway), some local businesses are expecting Segment E to be moving forward soon. Although I'm a little surprised that they are not extending 99 over I-10 right now (as far as I know), since they are currently building some connectors from I-10 westbound to 99 southbound and 99 northbound to I-10 eastbound at that intersection.
