I'd rather have the garages underground, build some mixed use buildings and maybe light them up a bit or put some other kind of landmark up to get attention. Either way, the view isn't that special even when you can see it when you're in the upper deck. Even in plain view of the capitol, it’s nothing that special anyway, IMO.

It's going to be a space where people will want to get somthing to eat before the game and hang out afterwards. I'm looking forward to Half street getting finished up, views be damned!

(And the park would have felt, to my thinking, a lot more claustrophobic.) Maybe we dodged a bullet there.
