For my senior technology lab project, I designed a soccer stadium capable of holding 15,000-20,000 people and complete with club boxes, locker rooms, and other amenities.  Within the United States, there are very few stadiums built solely for the purpose of soccer; for many cities, teams in Major League Soccer (MLS), the premier U.S. soccer league, are often forced to play on football and baseball stadiums and try to convert them for soccer usage.   I wanted to design a stadium built solely for soccer and nothing else.  In this project, I made use of Autodesk Architectural Desktop to design most of the stadium and apply the materials to the objects, and then used Autodesk Mechanical Desktop to construct the dome-like apparatus that covers a good portion of the stadium.  All parts of the stadium had to be easily accessible, and all seating sections had to have a clear, unobstructed view of the playing field.  The stadium itself was designed not necessarily to hold the largest number of people possible, but to create a rowdy playing atmosphere.

	My initial 1st quarter rendering of the soccer field; the field is created with a field texture mapped onto a solid, and the ad banners set along the field are created in the same way
	2nd quarter rendering with the 1st and 2nd level seat sections added in; the seating sections have an experimental metallic blue material applied to them, and the estimated capacity of the stadium at this point is 10,000 people (a conservative estimate)
	3rd quarter rendering with 1st and 2nd level seat sections all complete, the beginnings of a 3rd level seat section, red club boxes in each corner of the stadium, and bleachers added to most of the seat sections; anti-aliasing is now set on high for better image quality
	A look at some of the prestigious (and not so prestigious) advertising that is to be found at this stadium
	A view from inside the bench area, looking out onto the field and onto the opposing bench
	A view of the field from the 2nd level seats
	A fourth quarter rendering of the stadium, with the dome apparatus in place
