if anyone thinks design doesn’t matter refer them to the spire and the amount of energy it has added to the city, now for the second act…
deepnoteParticipantthe best place to find simple standards is to work for a simple architect
deepnoteParticipantWhat happens when you mix sport and politics? Bertie Bowl Bollocks. National stadium indeed! Anyone feel like theyve been taken for a ride? The “giant sucking sound” is a leadership vacuum.
deepnoteParticipantthere is just this one small problem with the Swiss, Swedes, and Danes – they have no sense of humor…might be why everything in their countries works since they don’t know how to make fun of it
deepnoteParticipanthey I’m thinking a very tall Capital Records Building (the LA landmark)…
deepnoteParticipantThanks for the cheer up GregF. If you haven’t noticed the economic doldrums are everywhere, not just here.
deepnoteParticipantThere was an even earlier colapse – the Sonas Centre project at the Phoenix Park Racecourse in the mid 90’s contained a National Conference Centre. Was the project ever real?
deepnoteParticipantIt hasn’t been a world class process has it?
deepnoteParticipantAndewP you make a very good case. We are becoming a mini LA without the weather. At least if you are going to sit in traffic you should be able to put the hood down.
deepnoteParticipantPerhaps we should find another name for the stadium. Bertie wants it sure enough, but his tax payers won’t be layin cash on the table. How about Eircom Park? No, that’s been done before. Let’s put the thinking caps on. Nominations are hereby declared open.
deepnoteParticipantWhat this country needs is a good Five Year Plan.
deepnoteParticipantMuch interest has been expressed by the private sector for a national stadium, but whether this is real depends on how much stealth, non-cash, government support will be available. How the tender is framed will be equally important. No one seems to favor Abbotstown so there is hope for better solutions if the finances can be sorted. A big if.
deepnoteParticipantSome winner, looks like a school project to me. The venue building is a real svelt whale. Hard to believe this is the best.
deepnoteParticipantSo, is the Bertie Bowl well and truly Flood-ed now?
deepnoteParticipantWithout a brief based on a business plan it’s all silly. Revenues, event and non-event; operating costs, financing costs…it must be driven by the tenants who will be left with the obligations. Easy enough to stand by and say what should happen, difficult if you have to sign the guarantees.
deepnoteParticipantSo an indoor arena is a profit making proposition? I don’t believe it. Everyone says these things, but if it’s such a great development property why don’t we see lots of them being built?
deepnoteParticipantGregF have you thought of running for office? You’d get my vote.
deepnoteParticipantit gets my goat too, stuck in the past and proud of it…
deepnoteParticipantyes it is
deepnoteParticipantall drivers in Dublin are slow drivers, so we have time to read complicated signs
