    North Station, Charles River Draw, & Tower A

    I think the jobs figure is not referring to jobs working directly on the project itself, but rather jobs created in the general economy due to the economic stimulus from the project.

    Thanks. My younger son and his wife reside in inner Baltimore, and he has lots of cautionary tales about that city.

    Are there any architectural awards this building would be eligible for? It certainly deserves some.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    Something like the render below would be great at this location, with a medium sized monument on top, nothing too garish. This type of through roadway tunnel would also replace and break up the maze of high speed roads encircling the site. I just think this is a bad spot for a stadium.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    A park area with a well designed classic style monument would be a good use for this site. Before RFK Stadium was built in 1961, it was park land.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    Its location on a direct axis to the Capitol building, in addition to its grandiose style, makes it seem overpowering and out of scale. It this style of stadium were located in a suburb somewhere, it would fit in better.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    Stylistically it seems over the top and kitsch-y. It looks like the Third Reich meets Vegas.

    New-build classical architecture (evoking old styles)

    To me it's absolutely awesome, both the monks and the gothic cathedral that they're building. Been married almost 50 years with three great kids plus grandkids, but in another life being a monk would have been great. Good on 'em for building this!

    Murals I love. It's the random scribbling that is crappy.

    Predominantly negative comments on the Facebook site, but I think it's a good development.
