from my understanding the only thing holding up the next phase of planning is the 10 Million they want the County to back. The County basiclly said screw off.

Wait a minute - how is PA's stadium "close" to downtown at 13 miles when STL's stadium is considered "out there"* at 12 miles away???
*I haven't heard this from you guys, but every non-STLian on BigSoccer seems to think so.

no no i was talking about the houston imaginary stadium (since tankfantry brought it up). I read somewhere that they're trying to build it close to the Houston Downtown area. Philly's stadium is not gonna be close to downtown at all....just like us in chicago. I live some 40 miles north of chicago's downtown (1 hour via train), and toyota park is 15 miles south west of downtown.
But I didn't know STL already had stadium plans.

OH lol <head-desk> I can't read apparently ^.^''
but yeah, STL has had plans for a stadium for, well, probably over a year now. We know where it'll be, what it'll look like, and how it'll be paid for; it just won't be built unless STL gets MLS-approved....
....weren't you the one who posted a pic of our stadium plans back on the one thread I started way back?

Hopefully our designers will get the fans right down next to the touchlines. I was disappointed to hear there will be a stage in the stadium, the ones in Columbus and Chicago are major eyesoars when I watch on tV, but I've also heard that our stage will be covered during games with retractable seating on the riverside end so I guess it's okay. From looking at the drawings, it looks leidk our stadium will be based similar to other Rossetti Architect designs for MLS stadiums, but will then expand when a fan-base has been established - I hope. Maybe we could even get something similar to Anfield's famed "KOP" on the riverside end. One giant tier/stand of Sons of Ben and the liek would look most impressive.

the kop would be an excellent idea. judging from the design in the first post, the stage doesn't seem too intrusive. During day games, Toyota Park's stage casts a big annoying shadow on the field. im pretty sure that won't be the case with the philly stadium

Yeah, I read that there would be a stage as well, hopefully that plan scrapped. Word on the street is that the stage might be under some retractable seats on one of the end stands. Either way, at least it is not as intrusive as the ones in Chicago or Columbus. I am happy with this model - good focus on getting lots of seats close to the field with good sight lines, the roof actually looks like it serves a function (as opposed to some other MLS stadiums that do very little), and there is plenty of room for future expansion behind the nets.
