Change in pace from talking about the strike

 

Early spoiler is it's a sunk in field with walk around bowl and spectator roof.....so IGF basically with more of a roof

Wow, look at that.  Is that solar paneling on the top?  That's some sophisticated stuff right there.

Its a beautiful design.  Reminds me of IGF a bit with the roof though Regina's covers one of the end zones as well and is "open" on the other end.  Flashy and fancy.  Hopefully the end result is very similar.

Agreed, it is a very nice looking stadium.   Wish them luck with the construction and hopefully don't go through what we did here in terms of delays, budget, wind, etc

The benefit to Regina doing this after we did, is they will learn from whatever issues we encountered.  I heard (but am too lazy to look) that they hired a design firm with a history of designing stadiums.  So thats a step in the right direction.

Looks great, good luck to them.

Pretty awesome design, excited to attend a LDC there.

Looking at that stadium again with that one section wide open, wonder what effect that will have on the wind in a late fall game

[IC Khari]

Sad part is it will be full of Riderfans

I would assume they'd build it in such a way that its not open to the prevailing winds but that could be a concern.  I believe the other end zone has open throughways on either side of the "roof" also so that might be the outlet for any winds.  I would assume that open side is also used for temp seating for Grey Cup's etc.

It's a nice looking building for sure, I will say this though, all these buildings look pretty sweet on paper but in reality, they may end up looking similar to the "drawing" but it will never ever be 100 percent exactly like the drawing. It's still a beauty though. Just saying i wouldn't expect it to look like it does on paper. Looks more like a soccer stadium to me but i still like how it looks.

Not bad, thought it would have been more enclosed though, but oh well. I'm sure that Regina has already learned from a lot of the Blunders that occur over here and having HKS a part of the process was a smart move from them as well.

The old Taylor/Mosaic field was subject to more windy conditions than here in the 'Peg, so I have to believe that it was not factored in.

And Hamilton fans think their new stadium is special? Sure.

The wind was taken into consideration.  This design is supposed to mitigate 50% of the wind on the site....

Of course it is. According to Zach Collaros it's better than IGF.

I have a picture of the proposed IGF stadium that I found in the old stadium during demolition.  It's a pic of the SE corner looking NW and the finished IGF doesn't look anything like what it does in the pic.  The walk up gates were all supposed to be enclosed in glass and not just a metal fence.  The brick work on the exterior is a different colour.  They have some funky covered area in the pic.  I under stand it's an artist rendition and not meant to be exactly what it will look like in the end.  I'm sure the one in Regina will be somewhat similar to the drawings but won't be exact.  I'm still curious on how that will be built for the proposed amount and not go over.....we shall see!

why are the seats different in the uncovered endzone?

Looks like standing room only?!?

the architect got bored probably... but in reality, upon closer inspection, it almost looks like those seats are bleachers or temp seats, perhaps not there all the time. It's hard to tell but it does look like it very well could be temp seating. That's what it looks like to me, again tho, you can't really zoom in so it's tough to see for sure but... does look very temp seating ish. Perhaps only for large events.

**** Zach Collaros.

The renderings to me anyway, looks like that stadium is at capacity of over 40,000. That's why the end zone seating looks different. I'd say temporary seating. I like what they did with the roof way better than ours.
