Clark Pacific and Rossetti Architects win the 2009 Design Award for Best Stadium. The precast concrete panels were designed to create an elevation with a strong horizontal focus with the use of sharp lines to define the building. The design suggests an airplane wing taking flight from the flat landscape, which was accomplished with a series of raised and recessed reveals in the elevations, producing a dynamic sense of movement. As the light shifts throughout the day, they create a continuous adjustment in the appearance of the arena, reducing the sensation of a static object.
