Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium [Renovation Completed]

[RestedTraveler]

This is just my own opinion; however, Orlando could do far worse than to have something like what Moshe Safdie and Associates has designed for Kansas City:

Something like this, I feel, would fit right in with, yet properly contrast, the other architecture in Downtown Orlando.

Moshe Safdie was selected as the architect when The Hood was mayor.

I wish our new PAC would have an old world feel like Nashville's.

Here are a few pics....

that would not really fit into the feel of Orlando

If he could build a sports arena for 50 million put him on the board of directors for our arena, PAC and citrus bowl

[spenser1058]

what arena is he talking about?

a new version of the Orlando Sports Stadium that used to be on Econ Trail? a little like calling Speed World the Daytona International Speedway

The new UCF Football Stadium didn't cost much more than 50 million to build.

With no assistance from the city or county, there is only one place I could see this going:

-- I-DRIVE

If Orlando were to get an MLS soccer team though, they should be playing in the Citrus Bowl.

Looking at this guys other press releases, it looks like it is a scam:

He has a yahoo! account as his business address for goodness sake. How is anyone supposed to take him seriously if he's playing with real cash?

Sadly, being publicly (and accurately) labeled as every kind of turd except human, never seems to phase guys like Rosen.

I guess when you have his kind of money, you just don't give a crap what people think of you.

Hell, I'm poor and I don't.

I can understand the man's concern. He has a lot of money tied up in those hotels he owns and their success means more to him than most people can imagine.

But taking a few lousy dollars out of the tourism advertising budget to build 3 venues that will make this area more attractive, marketable and desirable as a tourist destination than it ever has been before is nothing to get as bent out of shape over as he is getting.

This is an obviously very very petty little man.

He and Gutzload belong together.

Planners unsure to what degree arts center will be eco-friendly

Orlando Sentinel Article

SUMMARY:

The article is basically just a discussion about LEED certification and the impact of trying to go green with Orlando's PAC. If you want a laugh, read the comments at the end of the article left by the religious fanatics and tree-hugging liberals.

We need all SUPPORTERS of the venues to show up to this rally and sabotage it. Enough of this idiot. How greedy can one man be? Oh wait, I forgot about Mr Greedy himself, Perlman. Hope Rosen gets caught doing shady deals just like him.
