<--Begin reply that tries to dignify any I have left

Yeah! That arc is much taller which means the elevator's angle of inclination would be less than an elevator on the Doyt's pressbox. Thus proving my new point that a curving elevator could not be built at the angle provided in the false picture of out "future" press box.

Yeah, you could have put a "ZING!" at the end of your post. I thought the St. Louis arc was built later... :roll:

Just for my sake, (and I haven't been on in WEEKS) I like the design. Much better than the original Yager Stadium designs. Also, it would have TRULY been unique in the world. Even 40 years later. Drugs not included. :wink:

Maybe the expected people to use the jetpacks we are all supposed to have by now to just fly to the booth.

Or maybe future clones of Dave Horager were supposed to repel down ropes after the games.

I see the Poe road interchange off of I-75 has gone well, and the civil minded business world hasn't developed south of Wooster just as suggested!

Based on the pic of the Sebo center, are they including the staircase to the top of the roof, where people will hand you burlap bags to slide back down with? Looks like a fun-time to me!
