Very nice article. I'm excited!

One item I would like to see posted is a list of fan-centric amenity improvements that are desired for the new stadium. They can be "checked off" as they are provided in the final construction design (when final funding meets desired amenities).

My own starter list would include:
Escalators and elevators instead of ramps for access to portals.
Hand rails for all levels of stairs inside the stadium.
Stadium seating with chair backs rather than benches.
Food service concessions with sight lines to the field so a fan can watch the game while waiting in line for service. I experienced this feature at the Astrodome in 1970.
"Club level" and skybox amenities for appeal to corporate boosters.

Since 1970, there have been these things called video monitors developed. Gives you visuals of the game while waiting in line.

I think the ADA requires handrails in new facilities. Bartow is exempt I believe due to when it was built.

Substitutions are welcome. Now what do you want to add?

Still waiting on these at Bartow...
