I really liked his answer to the question about his relationship with Justin fields after the Big Ten COVID debate from a few years ago. Hopefully that puts to bed any talk of the Bears trading Fields and taking a QB at 1.1. Definitely a confident and prepares guy who knows how to hold a press conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Impressive that this was kept so quiet. I’m curious who the other candidates were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the manufactured stuff about them trading him because Warren doesn’t like him, but they also said Poles has 100% control over the team.

To make sense it has to be available for use 365 days a year, and that only happens with a dome. Once they said retractable roof is not happening, it was clear it was going to be enclosed, but remember this firm has experience making fully enclosed stadiums have the look and feel of open air.

IIRC the 2 parties hired were in charge of Sofi and Allegiant. Warren oversaw USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we get something that’s fully enclosed but with a natural grass playing surface. Not sure how that’s possible in the Chicago climate but that’s probably why I’m not in stadium design lol.

SoFi stadium has one of those ends that is open (similar to that concept video the city of chicago dropped a week or two again) and because of that open end, there has been a lightning delay earlier this season and that sideways rain during the CFB natty that soaked people. aesthetically pleasing, but a design flaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tottinghams field retracts underneath itself for another surface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 100% the way to go...not only can you always control the conditions for the grass but you can use another surface for things like concerts meaning the field never gets damaged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
