Classes are under way, and we've been told our studio project will be developing design proposals for the Los Angeles Coliseum on Exposition Park. Our semester of work will be divided into three parts: master planning, stadium design, and a detailed section resolution.
So to start off, we were asked to each find five existing/proposed sports facilities and come up with some material to pin-up near our desks. This is going to be our reference wall, that should be used to post new information throughout the semester and consulted when looking for some inspiration.
My contributions to the wall:
1. Disneys Wide World of Sports Complex: shows how multiple facilities on a large site can work together to create a destination for visitors. It becomes its own attraction.

2.
Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex (Cleveland Indians and Cavaliers): connects Quicken Loans Arena and Progressive Field to make its own retail and commercial district. Also integrates the underground public transit and the Tower City Center.

3.
Neyland Stadium (Tennessee Volunteers): a great example of unique college sports facilities and tailgating. Makes the Tennessee River a viable transportation and "sailgating" option for the 100,000+ fans.
