(1) Tue Mar 15 09:51:07 sports stadiums part II: old soldier field vs. new soldier field.:

I will miss the old Soldier Field. It was a great looking building with classical styles.

I won't miss the new Soldier Field. It really looks like a UFO crash landed in the middle of the original Soldier Field. I don't really care about football, so I don't really care about any of the reasons why it's a better football stadium now, nor do I care about the economics and politics that led to the redesign.

I guess that's the price of progress, and there is a coolness factor to it, and it's nice that they didn't have to tear it down completely or leave it abandoned... but when I think of Soldier Field, I'll still think of the original -- I'm a nostalgic kind of guy.
