5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best architectural look at stadiums available!, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Stadia, Second Edition: A Design and Development Guide (Paperback)

Definitely one of my favorite books on the shelf. STADIA provides a unique, not seen before look at the architectural structures of todays sports stadiums. Fun to read over and back and around again. Gives ideas that provide a basis for drawings and blueprints.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super, July 17, 2001

A Kid's Review

I like going out to the ballpark and looking at the ballpark itself. I like finding the stats about it. What things there are to do. And how it was designed. This book gave me wonderful ideas on how to design my own stadium. I recomend this book to anyone.
