Here's the ancient, decrepit 1992-built Georgia Dome that is about to be demolished now that a replacement stadium is almost ready.

The lunacy has to stop at some point. (I hope). It seems that they're really tapped out for ideas on the next greatest thing in sporting entertainment, they're putting all sorts of weird features into stadiums now - bizarre "avant-garde" design, fish tanks, swimming pools, whatever the heck that thing is in the Marlins' outfield is - and have lost the plot.
Pro sports has lost the 'common man' theme IMO.
