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:

https://www.constructionspecifier.co...o-mls-stadium/

https://www.hok.com/news/2019-04/mls...tadium-design/
See, all three of these examples are superior to what the Fire is proposing.
