    Are the hand railings an accessibility requirement? They seem high and might interfere with sightlines. I don't believe the 100 level (infield) had hand railings before.

    The tower and podium have pre-cast brick cladding. The tower portion is decent but I found the podium cladding to be rather meh. That being said, I was driving so and didn’t have a lot of time to check it out in detail.

    No question. I’m not advocating for the hay bales to be put up. Just saying shit happens.
