Because when they practice in the late afternoon, the building will cast shade on the field so that the players don't cook in the August and September sun. And then when temperatures drop in late September through November, the building will provide a break from the typically western wind.
I also agree with everyone else that the newest renderings are butt-ugly. I'll take the initial, metal sided version any day.
I think you guys are all over reacting. Once they put the downspouts in, it will really dress that guy up.
I think it's pretty cool how functional the entire setup seems. Inside space with doors opening up to the outside field. Raised observation camera platform on the side so they don't need a tower or scissor lift. Locker room and weight lifting all in one place.
Lots of big flat, uninteresting sides to that thing though. Meh... just like the NDSU offense, nothing too flashy but it sure as shit will get the job done.

Right now they are exposed to the sun. I think it's good to practice in extreme heat, as it conditions the players to not be soft. As far as wind goes, they are currently exposed to the wind and most road games are outdoors anyways.
But we both agree the first version they put together is way better. Although the attached building looks better but looks to be smaller on the original. More space is important, especially for a future player lounge or other needs. EDIT: I think it's bigger actually... wraps all the way around the building

Why aren’t the people in the artist rendering wearing masks? I’m getting anxious looking at them...
