It's just too bad that we have the only football stadium in pro sports with seating areas that are asymmetrical and don't match up perfectly.
That's a pretty tired argument and somewhat of a strawman. Basically you're saying it is OK that Kyle Field looks like a piecemealed pile of sh_t because other some college and pro stadiums were designed with a modern look that doesn't adhere to classical stadium configuration(s).
Some of those stadiums were designed from the ground up to have unique features. That is a totally different scenario than what we are going to end up with at Kyle Field.
For the record, I think Penn State's football stadium looks bad as well. So does DKR (yes I realize that was not a pictured stadium).
The Kyle Field project was probably doomed from the start for two or three reasons:
1) Sentimental necessity to keep the east side second and third decks for "HOME OF THE 12TH MAN" reasons.
2) Richardson Zone and family naming rights. The Zone was fronted by the Richardsons to the tune of about $6 million dollars and has only been in use for 15 years. We are tied to the Zone for a while.
3) B/CS businesses. The town is so dependent on the university and the residual effects brought in by athletic events, deals were made to keep the games in town.
I will continue to assert my opinion on the sloppiness and poor design of Kyle Field. It looks great from the outside. Some aspects of the inside, not so much.
