Swat725's Stadium Project- Hockey Arena (Image Heavy)

[suburb]

This stadium project was undertaken by swat in the summer of 2010, but had a large break until recently when he picked up on the project to continue along on it.  This was initially started by inspiration from real life stadiums such as:  Madison Square Garden, Staples Center, and Xcel Energy Center.  Now I am sure you people are bored of background information and a magazine article point of view on it but on-wards to the pictures.

Current brickcount sits a comfortable:



Major note:  As of the moment this stadium is WIP and the side bowl's will be done at a later time.

Awesome, host this please.

[Mr.Noßody]

Looks great! Good work.

But 162K bricks and it looks like your 1/3rd done with it.
You sure you'll have enough space?

[Sami2ss]

Do hockey arenas even have that many seats? No matter, this looks pretty cool, wish I had a computer that could support all of those bricks.
