Description:
|
"Named after the former owner and manager of the Cincinnati Bengals football franchise, this 65,600 seat arena is prominently positioned at the west end of Cincinnati's riverfront. The stadium's designers, NBBJ's Sports and Entertainment division based in L.A. and Glaserworks of Cincinnati created a "progressive new image, with jagged planes of glass, concrete and steel"...To break down the enormous scale of the building, they divided up the slanting and angled outer walls with different materials, layers, and textures. Two canopies of translucent fabric cantilever over the upper tier of sideline seats like the soaring wings of a seagull. Night lighting amplifies the dramatic effect, changing the stadium "from a solid object into a series of backlit-semi-transparent scrims and overlapping grids." The boomerang shaped columns emphasize the outward flare at the top of the wall and make the design more sculptural than straight columns would."
