What better time than Thanksgiving, with its Turkey Day football games, to consider football art, oxymoron that it is.
….The Lipski piece came about because of the state’s Percent for Art program, which requires a certain percentage of a state construction budget, a minuscule one-tenth of 1 percent, go to art for the site. Now, that is an admirable idea, and I would like to see it even more fully funded. And it has worked in various places, including at the UW Biochemistry Building and the UW Engineering School.
But this is, well … not what an athletic stadium really needs.
