Gotta be a small fortune FYI: they’re not actually blueprints anymore. We now create a 3D virtual model of the building and give it to the Contractors to work from in real time. Pretty cool, huh? In general the total architecture/engineering fees should be something in the neighborhood of 6.0% of the construction cost of the stadium. You can do the math. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 So will there be grain silos incorporated in the design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine they’re going to get into some long community input process. The Pegula’s might just want to wait because that time frame would put the reveal close to training camp/regular season. It would generate more excitement around the team heading into week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they built the design for Robert Kraft for the Pats new stadium they went through over 200 design options before he finally found one he liked. I wonder if Terry and Kim will be as hands on.
