(58,785 posts)16. Great improvement in many regions for various reasons.
Most stadiums are so ugly to go to. The Rose Bowl where we used to live, a real exception.
But where it'd still be lacking and in congested areas, how about cars and stadium under the park? I remember long ago an urban studies professor at UCLA (the odd class, I didn't major) pointing out that we've always built on and paved over our best land that should have been preserved for other uses. Perhaps in future we'll undo that to some degree, and moving development out of the fertile valleys and onto the hills wouldn't be the only way.
Without heating, our basement here in north GA wouldn't drop below about 50 in the worst winters, and it used to drop into single digits here for relatively brief periods.
