Rough Draft of 3D Coliseum Renovation Proposal

This is still a work in progress, but my renderings are about 95% complete. I've written about most aspects of these images in December and April if you need further explanation. Although there are still a few minor details that I need to clean up, comments, criticism, and feedback are appreciated.  

Overhead view of the Coliseum. Note the flex area (cardinal sections) in the west upper endzone. Also note the centered field, the endzone extensions, and field clubs.

Direct view of new premium seating areas. 

View of west endzone. Note the "Flex Area" in the upper bowl, and the seat extension that brings fans closer to the field.

View of east endzone and peristyle. Note two new scoreboards (part of USC's proposal) and the seat extension.
View of field from near the northeast videoboard. Note that the field is centered, but the endzone extension brings fans much closer.
View of new premium seating areas and the new scoreboard on the south sideline.
New premium seating areas, facing west.
New premium seating areas, facing east towards the Peristyle.

    This is better than the proposed renovations. Have you contacted the USC and Coliseum organization? Have you heard back?

      Thanks for the support! I'm working on a formal proposal that I'll send to USC and the USC Athletic Dept. I'll hopefully finish that before the end of the year.

    Love it. Hope USC reconsiders its plans and goes with something similar to what you've done here.

An Alternative Design for USC's Coliseum Renovation

Image
I recently wrote a rambling, 2,000 word, mostly critical review of USC’s proposal to renovate the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. However, it isn’t fair to simply sit back and criticize carefully-thought out plans without giving feasible suggestions. There have been many Coliseum renovation plans presented before, but the vast majority have been entirely unrealistic or too expensive . In addition, previous plans haven’t viewed the Coliseum in the same way that the USC Athletic Department seemingly does - as a historic stadium in need of a general facelift and a few modern amenities. Thus, I set out to create an alternative that accomplishes everything that USC’s proposal does, but in a more aesthetically pleasing and flexible way. *I should note that I’m not an architect. I am someone who has traveled to see approximately 70 professional and college stadiums and who has a near-encyclopedic memory of hundreds of stadiums around the world. My drawings may not be 100% to scale, bu

Coliseum Renovation Plans Leaked

Image
I was messing around with the url on  coliseumrenovation.com  tonight and I was able to get to the pages with updated renderings for the Coliseum renovation plan. USC is expected to officially release these in the next week or two, but you can get an early look here.  I feel like the reaction when the original plans were released in October was mixed at best. If you didn't like the plans then, you're going to be disappointed, as it appears that there have been virtually no changes. I took screenshots from  http://coliseumrenovation.com/overview  and posted them below.  I'll have a follow-up post with some commentary in the near future. If you're new to the blog, you can see my alternative renovation plans  here  and  here . Legal Talk: These images technically belong to USC and came from the url mentioned above. I make no claims of owning these images. New rendering of "The Scholarship Club Tower." Image from http://coliseumrenovation.com/overvi
