Why Are Stadiums and Arenas Getting Uglier?

The past decade or so hasn’t exactly been a golden era for design, to say the least. When Golden1 Center first opened in Sacramento, I, like everyone else, thought it looked really cool. Eight years later, I’m far less enamored with it. The G1C looks extremely gimmicky and screams mid-2010s. It is hard to imagine it improving with age. The problem doesn’t stop with the G1C. The Chase Center’s design hasn’t won many fans. As cool as the Intuit Dome looks on the inside, the outside is preposterous. I mean seriously, did you really build your basketball arena in the shape of a rugby ball? Around the way, So-Fi Stadium is a similar story. From the inside, it is great, but from the outside, it’s grating to look at. Elsewhere, Levi’s Stadium is a disaster, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium and US Bank Stadium are extremely jarring. From an aesthetics standpoint, stadiums across America have taken a noticeable step back. Now, designers and teams make up all kinds of stories as to the “inspiration” of the design. Wanting to incorporate local elements. Cool story but the result is still ugly stadiums. You can’t help but think that it is being done on purpose. Sports owners aren’t stupid. They see the uphill struggle to get new stadiums and arenas built. And they realize that if their team’s home doesn’t look like it needs to be replaced or upgraded, the local population will staunchly fight back against their claims.

But it's worth reading either way.
