I spent time there on a few occasions. It is an interesting building in that it is huge, but somehow it still feels kind of comfortable and localized. Kind of like a shopping mall but without the walls, but the walls aren't necessary.

The park on the roof is phenomenal. There are thousands of people working below you and you'd never know it, it's more like just being on a hill near the bay.

I’ve been to the Stata Center dozens of times for meetings, conferences, receptions, or just passing through. I like the exterior, but inside it’s horrible.

It’s cavernous, bad acoustics, drab and utilitarian, geometrically weird and therefore hard to navigate, and finding conference rooms is like a habitrail adventure with lots of dead ends and backtracking.

It’s just an all around unpleasant space (to me) that has no good explanation other than lack of caring.

But I do think it looks super interesting outside.

But I’ll never forgive Ghery for that horrific turd called the Weisman art museum at U of MN. Tear that thing down.
