It's a fuzzy memory now, but as I recall, BU bid the same amount as Harvard, but lost out for no other apparent reason than "Harvard."

This needs to get done.

Good point, though I think that area is close to the point where you could replace the stadium with an awesome mixed use project and it would be fine. Another good point!

What about re-purposing the stadium to replace Fenway Park? The Sox current ownership keeps squeezing bucks out of Fenway, but even though it has great history, I hate going to games there, since I barely fit in the seats and knee people in front of me in the back. It doesn't seem to be in the...

Looking really good. Nice work!

Thanks, that really helps me understand! I don't think I realized how much separation there would be going in, but it's clear now. Excited to see this keep taking shape!

Newbie here, and I've been wondering this for a while - what's going to happen to the exposed glass side of the Burnham building - is it not going to be flush with the tower, or does the podium end before that glass area?
