Toxikk Veteran Posted February 3, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 3, 2005 NEW YORK -- The New York Jets released a revised design for their proposed $1.4 billion Manhattan stadium Wednesday after taking heavy criticism for their initial plans.The new design reduces the height of the stadium by 120 feet and replaces the steel facade with glass. "The changes unveiled today reflect months of spirited public discussion," Jets president Jay Cross said. "What has emerged is a building that is just as grand and yet reduced in height by more than 10 stories." The planned stadium for the city's West Side has been controversial since it was proposed last year. The idea has met with opposition from neighborhood residents, local politicians and some civic groups. Aside from cutting the height, the new design from architect Bill Pedersen, of Kohn Pedersen Fox, moves the main entrance, removes the wind turbines and surrounds the building in a semi-opaque glass curtain. City planning director Amanda Burden praised the redesign. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=1982761 http://nyscc.newyorkjets.com/about.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigMack Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 yeah it looks nice, but not only the price (600+ mill) for taxpayers but also for the 24/7 rubbernecking its gonna cause. They gotta move it somewhere else in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffan Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Jets fans should be happy. Once the staduim is done, they don't have to share with the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipe Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 This is very interesting indeed. Reliant owns, but they should have made it bigger. I am sure the new Dallas stardium will be biggest and best whenever it is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
