Not to mention, we're only getting one angle (Cesar Chavez side). I'd be interested to see it from the East and West. In either case, I hope this happens. Not everything needs to be loud and flashy. This seems pretty sleek and classy to me.
Edit: By the way, that rust/reddish accent color seems to be on the East side, at least, but I'm assuming both sides for symmetry. It does seem to travel beyond the podium, so I wonder if it would go all the way to the top.... that'd change the color scheme of downtown a bit, which would be nice.
