That is one of the ugliest stadiums I have seen. Right up there with Wellington.

Well I mean it's no Lord's or SCG but any stadium built from the foundations up as a stadium and not an upgraded park-ground-stadium is going to look somewhat like this. Character will be added on ground level for the people walking in, not at chopper/drone level for the flyover.

It doesn't have to, unless you have ordinary architects.

SCG?? Apart from a couple of the tiny heritage stands the place is an ugly mish mash.

Look m8 nothing will top Subi, what with the concrete seats, the 4 smelly dunnies, shit food and watered down beer.

And the queues dont forget the endless queues for every thing

I can't wait for the new stadium to be finished, then I will go to a game there before I shoot my gob off.

Looking good and having appropriate facilities are not intertwined.
 
So what would make the architecture acceptable? Gothic windows? Classical colonnade with a WAFL inspired frieze? Gargoyles?

Its a purpose built engineering before arctitecture type of structure... and i think they have done an excellent job of sprucing it up in a contemporary and minimalist style.
