The stadium design isn't awful but this is an opportunity to do better. I think this fake warehouse/industrial aesthetic is the 2020's version of late 1990 to early 2000's POMO. I think this will be a lot like the United Center, bland and forgettable architecture that functions well.
I wish the design did more to relate to it's surroundings and take advantage of it's unique location by the river and skyline views with architecture that looked to to future instead of the past.
Here are some example of what I think are more promising designs:

See, all three of these examples are superior to what the Fire is proposing.
