"Architectural Innovation: A's Unveil 'Spherical Armadillo' Stadium Design for Las Vegas"
Bjarke Ingels, the lead architect for the A's new stadium in Las Vegas, discusses the design process, including the "armadillo" concept, the decision not to include a retractable roof, and the challenges of the nine-acre site. He addresses comparisons to the Sydney Opera House and the budget concerns, expressing confidence in the project's feasibility. While acknowledging the disappointment of A's fans in Oakland, he emphasizes the unique design elements and continuity from the original Oakland plans, while also noting that the concept for the Las Vegas stadium is likely to remain largely unchanged in the coming years.
