    Because Wrigley is just damn sexy? You like [expletive] bricks and ivy? I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I think Wrigley is very aesthetically pleasing (from inside). Bricks and green painted steel are about the most mundane, dry materials in the face of the earth. The reason everyone loves Wrigley is because of it's setting, the idea of a pristine ball field, mini greenspace in a sea of city. There is sense of discovery from Waveland, through the turnstiles, up the ramps, and having the field explode before you as you reach the seats. It's compression/release. Layered onto it, a connection with the community around it, a sense of discovery, seeing things that you would have seen 100's of times before in a new way. N&G / derwoods idea of a ballpark near DT, caprini green is more in line with that design thinking, and actually would be a very interesting design study. This is what design is, not what a place looks like, but what it feels like If Theo set out to design a ballpark with only the intention of novelties and ignored everything else, it would suck. But honestly, I don't think he is that dumb.

    I know what you meant. And I think he would be horrible in that instance. I'll bite. Why? Because what he is describing is a design theory that never pans out. It's contrived. Stale. Forced. Meatheaded fans would cheer it, I'm sure. But the design (and ballpark) would suck after the initial glow wears off.

    Also, why can't this house just float with no foundation at all?
  19. minnesotacubsfan
    Hey guys, I have this house and it keeps falling down. It seams that the foundation that is made with paper dissolves in heavy water. Last year, I had a concrete block on a big part of it and that worked well. However, this year I went back to the trusty old paper and it appears to be dissolving again! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!!??? So, my question is, should i use brown or magenta paper to fill the hole? Oh, and what do I do with this dumb concrete block I have lying around? Its so damn heavy, I just hate moving it around........

    Shhhhhhhh

    Not quite, but it is fun

    I love Max Shortell
  23. minnesotacubsfan
    yea, Webb just inst an option. I feel like the Bears screwed the pooch with Williams tho. He found a home at LG, why the [expletive] the coaches cant leave well enough alone is beyond me.

    marshalls screw up meant a fg. Bennetts meant a int. Webbs could get Cutler killed. its a sliding continuum im sure, but its still not all equal First off, hyperbole. Cutler won't die at the hands of Clay Matthews Jr. Secondly, Webb's sack allowed was the least impactful of the 3 plays in question. Marshall's took 4 points off the board. Bennett catches that ball and the Bears have a good shot at 3 points (woulda been over midfield after the catch). It's a lot easier for Brandon Marshall to catch an open pass and Earl Bennett to come back for the football than it is for Webb to block Clay Matthews. It's not all equal, but neither were the talent levels. Why pick on the worst player on the field when he has a bad play, but don't hold the best player accountable? because Webb does it CONTINUALLY and Marshall is a good bet not to. And I'm not certain that Bennett didn't get an earful at some point. In fact, I thought he did.
