Went to the store and was able to see the inside of the stadium yesterday. Wow! It is so cool in person. Just wanted to walk around but they keep you on a short leash.
Boy is it dirty though. The seats are covered in dirt and the screen looks the same. Guess the wind and no reason to keep anything clean right now.
Speaking of the Occulus, I was told there it was renamed the “infinity screen”. I asked if they got a sponsor and they said no, it was just a new name as it was confusing to the google owned device.

Not trying to be pedantic, but I'm going to be pedantic. The Oculus virtual reality gaming goggles are Facebook owned.

Haha, shows how out of touch with that stuff I am. I probably miss quoted. So want to see that place with people around. At least the delay has giveg all the plants time to get established before people trample it all down. They did a really nice job on that part. It honestly will be a cool place just to walk around at.

In a stadium that is obviously the best sporting venue in the world the trees in the parking lot (in planters) are a real head scratcher to me. It was the first thing I noticed when I was at the stadium. A couple things came to mind. First, while I'm sure they are drought tolerant trees I still think they will have to be watered at times. Second, and even bigger, is that after a game day those planters are going to be a nightmare to clean up. You just know they're gonna get trashed... literally, during tailgating (believe me, I saw first hand what the aftermath of tailgating looked like at the coliseum)

Unfortunately you have to think about lazy people. It’s like the memorial at the Texas Rangers Stadium to the father/firefighter that died while trying to catch a ball being tossed to him and his son.

I agree. But think it is just temporary. Actually, the way I read it is many of these parking lots will be temporary. They will be slowly developing them as you can see in the renderings. Not sure what they're thought is with those trees.
After being there in person, I have to admit, I really "get" the indoor/outdoor thing. It really works. And the sun was warm on Sunday and the canopy really took the heat off. Can't wait to see a game there.

Great tailgates with you BTW. But the Coliseum looks a bit trashed even after they clean that old bird up. Even trashier are the folks that trash the joint. I hope SoFi might have that new car effect and people wont be so quick to scratch it.

I noticed that at Jerruh World the area around AT&T Stadium was in decent shape before and after the game. Older stadiums in less nice places don't get treated as well. The campus around Soldier Field gets trashed. The pedestrian bridge from downtown Nashville to Nissan Stadium is garbage strewn.

Plus it depends on the crowd. Kenny Chesney fans are notorious for their trashy behavior.

Holy smokes. What's wrong with people?
