I was driving up Hiawatha Saturday morning and was amazed at how grand the two supports that are up look just by themselves. This is really going to be a beauty!

Huh. New renders showing a glass skyway, speculation? Or do they know something we don't know.

[mister.shoes]

The skyway to the parking ramp has always been part of this. That's the climate-controlled VIP access the NFL requires.

[holmstar]

I'm pretty sure a skyway was always part of the plan. Of the specific concept above, I like it. Complements the angular qualities of the stadium.

[grant1simons2]

Yeah that's what I had thought, this is the first time its been in a rendering though

[mister.shoes]

No, it isn't.

It's also been in the physical models.

Does this picture show a more reflective glass instead of crystal clear glass like before? Does this possibly have something to do with the bird issue?

[grant1simons2]

I think so but I like it a lot

It appears to be evening... hence the reflection.

Daniel Libeskind should probably get some kind of royalty from this.

From the sabo bridge it looks like we're building a whole new city next to our city

They're sort of gigantic tools, aren't they?

[HiawathaGuy]

They're sort of gigantic tools, aren't they?

I concur with that assessment.

[Nathan]

They're sort of gigantic tools, aren't they?

they're also huge proponents of our region ( and making money) but it's kind of obnoxious to keep beating this horse.

The scale of the building and the construction equipment is absolutely incredible. I don't think we truly understand the massive scale of the building yet, I think it could the dwarf the new Wells Fargo buildings . Also it looks like the next piece of the roof structure they are going to put in place is the "bow" that reaches out towards Downtown.
