  1. I mean I'm not sure how different he is from Bennett.
  2. the kind that dont grow on rollin stones
  3. when do we get the wallabies?
  4. I think Soldier Field is a federally-designated landmark, whereas Wrigley is a Chicago landmark. right, Wrigley is eligible for the national trust where as SF was on it, but it has been removed.
  5. The committee "controls" very little. A good design team can work around all of that. As for SF, I said extreme example for a reason.
  6. Umm, have you tried to build ANYTHING in the last 15 years? There are always committees. Besides, Wrigley is only restricted on a few of its historical pieces, such as the ivy, scoreboard and I believe the exterior marque. There is plenty that can be done to it without upsetting "the committee". If you want an extreme example, look at what was done with Soldier Field which had a very simular designation
  7. I don't think you know what you're talking about
  8. ohhh, just you wait. I don't remember which designation Wrigley has with the NTHP, but it would certainly be something they need to consider in the design process. And forget tearing it down, that will likely never happen with its designation.
  9. it's not that it needs to be heated, curing concrete creates heat on its own. The issue is that while concrete cures, it needs to be kept wet. The water used to keep it wet needs to be kept from freezing. That's why you temper a space that is receiving a pour. Admixtures help too. but yea, they pour in pretty cold temps in MPLS, they can do it in Chicago too. I have worked a lot of construction in my life and from personal experience you can pour concrete in some really crappy weather conditions, including very cold. It probably needs to be covered to trap in the heat while curing also. well, yea, that's what I'm saying.
  10. Seems skinny on the trade to NY

  12. wtf is wrong with those people
  13. In perpetuity I hate you all
  14. It actually looks like a conglomerate of different art genres and processes. Not surprising considering Loria's background
  15. Where's tebow?
  16. Even if I give you that point....Illinois still would have lost what you consider a fair game because they didn't stop the dribble drive. Maybe that's too big of an assumption to make, but I don't see that as that big of a limb for me to be out on. Illinois very well may have lost, but it wasn't a well officiated game. cripes, the Gophers took WI to OT and couldnt beat them tonight in the Barn. I'm not upset over Illinois loosing, but its hard to say "we would have beaten you fair and square" when fair and square never entered the picture.
  17. Illinois was robbed of a fair game. Sorry IU fans.
  18. Coach Weber for HoF
  19. yea, I wouldn't mind Jenkins or Toon in the 2nd and drafting a tackle/cb/de in the 1st.
  20. it wont be distracting to hitters but that f-in fish tank is saaaweeeeeeet
  21. MLB 2012' preview, complete with HR jumping fish and THE GLORIOUS FISH TANKS http://blogs.trb.com/sports/custom/business/blog/2012/02/playstation_gives_glimpse_of_g.html y cant you b more like Loria, Ricketts
  22. And to be clear, Dan fout's WCO was completely dif then Montanas, but Fouts came first
  23. SD was the original WCO, but SF really popularized the term.
