Rc cola over coke is an easy choice.dweebe wrote: ↑Aug 14, 2022IIRC the Cowboys/ATT stadium used to be RC Cola and Dr Pepper for their soda choices. That was an odd one. No Coke or no Pepsi.
They all taste the similar to me. I mostly stick to orange or the lemon-lime sodas. Only Ski and Mexican Coke are the differing ones in the group. And nothing beats the Fanta I get from Global Foods (it’s either from Britain or Russia, just depends on the shipment, but they taste the same).
Should have gone with excel! Ski, lucky cola etc., that would have fit so great with downtown

Count me in the "who cares" crowd. As long as they serve an ice-cold American lager I'll be okay. (And they can serve some IPA and milk-chocolate stouts for the hipster crowd too. I might even drink them sometimes. But I do want my blue-collar lager, kthx. Bye.)

^Mm. Some. They're honestly as good as or better than most carbonated soft drinks. I'll have a billion bubble beverage every now and then. But I'm just not that much of a sweet beverage sort of person. Carbonate tap water and I'm well content. Add sugar and pretty soon I like it less. True story. Flavoring agents are mostly take it or leave it. Even Vess, mostly. I don't hate it, but I almost never buy it. I had one can a few years ago when I bought some fish at a local market.
Centene Stadium is in the STL Construction News and Review.

Last regular season game for City 2 to be played at Centene on September 18. Season ticket holders only in attendance.
Nice article on the new Centene stadium from Curbed: https://archive.curbed.com/2019/11/25/20982594/soccer-stadium-design-mls-urbanism.
Built to be a multi-use facility, it’s an emerging example of what could be called MLS urbanism; stadiums with smaller footprints that offer better integration into the neighborhood fabric, a more intimate fan experience, and the perfect size to anchor economic development without requiring massive infrastructure shifts or investments.
“This won’t be a stadium surrounded by a sea of parking,” says Eli Hoisington, design principal for HOK’s St. Louis office. “We’re taking advantage of what’s around the city.”

“This won’t be a stadium surrounded by a sea of parking,” besides the massive block-sized garage they're building right next to it

^Well, it didn't have to be. And maybe the neighboring mega stadiums slowly building on their surface parking lots can light the way forward.
That said, I really do like the stadium, and I'm quite excited to see play begin there.

While the point still stands, that article is going on three years old. Lol.
It's mixed. Going backward by opening date:urbanjoe wrote: ↑Sep 04, 2022Nice article on the new Centene stadium from Curbed: https://archive.curbed.com/2019/11/25/20982594/soccer-stadium-design-mls-urbanism.

Nashville/Geodis: semi urban with limited parking
Columbus/Lower.com: semi urban with limited parking
Austin/Q2: can be called urban by Texas standards with limited parking
Cincinnati/TQL: urban with limited parking
DRV PNK/Miami: dense suburban with limited parking
Allianz/Minnesota: dense suburban but with pretty significant parking on all three sides
DC/Audi: urban with parking lots on two sides
LA/Banc of Cal: by USC campus with parking garage on one side and medium sized lots on two others
The last "way in the suburbs" surrounded by acres of parking MLS venue is Sporting KC's stadium. The Chicago Fire left their suburban stadium with lots of parking for Solder Field a few years ago.
I believe this is inside the stadium...the standalone store on Market hasn't opened yet.
The city neighborhood cutouts on the ceiling are f*ucking awesome.

^ Ahhhh - I get it now, thanks! I hope the stand alone store is just as cool!
If I had a nickel for every person on social media blaming this on “tHe CiTy” I could build another stadium.
Fox2 didn’t “uncover” sh*t by the way. This has been in the paper for at least a day or so.
https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/fox-2 ... r-stadium/The report said the conduits were never marked by Missouri One Call or “Dig Rite” services, which identify where utility lines are buried to allow for safe digging. It said the stadium construction team also did not alert the city street workers of the buried conduits.
A “Daily Diary” report said Raineri’s electrical subcontractor, Gerstner Electric, “offered to repair the damaged conduit before the close of business…” but the stadium team opted to have its electrical subcontractor do the work.

So... drove by this afternoon and saw signs on the exterior for Steve's Hot Dogs and Balkan Treat Box on the East plaza. I think the plan was to operate full time from this location, don't know if that is still the deal.
A friend in a different union says this was a squabble between a firm using non union workers, workers part of the the old school Electricians in Union 1 and the "fake" Carpenters Electricians in Union 57.sc4mayor wrote: ↑Sep 22, 2022If I had a nickel for every person on social media blaming this on “tHe CiTy” I could build another stadium.
