As expected, the
DC Sports and Entertainment Commission has chosen
HOK Sport (along with
Devrouax & Purnell Architects/Planners of DC) as the architects for the
new Nationals baseball stadium. They promise a design that will "change the paradigm of ballparks" and will be "iconic and truly distinctive to Washington, D.C." There are no designs or drawings as yet. For more details, read articles in the
Post ("
Architects Promise Visionary Ballpark") and
WashTimes ("
Ballpark Will be 'Iconic'"). Also, on March 29, the DC CFO released a revised
cost analysis for the entire stadium project, pegging it at $581 million (read
