UGLY!
Renderings of the new ballpark for the Washington Nationals were released yesterday, and the Washington Post has an extensive story and pictures. Tom Boswell may think that it is, at worst, "unobjectionable," but he is in serious error. It is an atrocity.
The bizarre glass facades seem aimed at concealing the fact that there's a ball field behind them, and to lend that unmistakable air of drab K Street faux modernity to what is destined to be an iconic public space. And whose idea was it to flank the main entrance with two enormous parking garages?
It's not as if this is a unique task. It can be done well:
I guess that was the best they could to for $300,000,000, huh?

post a commentOK, this is extremely ugly. But I DO like all the happy-looking people and transparent, blob-like trees. So soothing.

This is how we build our homes. Why not our stadiums?
