A question for you, is there any reason they stacked the stadium vertically so tall before finishing off the bowl? This always strikes me as a bit odd when stadiums designers go that route. Is that building at the edge of the open endzone of some historical importance and not to be knocked over? They did they same thing at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, but DKR looks much taller and like if you were in the top row you'd be a zillion feet from the field.
