Calling MGoEngineers/Architechs

MVictors has a pretty cool piece about TSIO's stadium and someone that spent two years creating a Lego replica.

http://mvictors.com/?p=9540

So I'm placing a call to our Lego engineers and architechs to respond to this piece of Buckeye Lego art.

Just remember this if you try to build a Big House replica:

New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.

Someone only needs to write "American Standard" on the side of it, or campaign for all games in this stadium to be sponsored by them.

My only question is whether it is a homonym or a misspelled abbreviation.  Either way, it is almost sad, even if the guy that did it is a Buckeye, to see a flaw like that in something that took a long time to make.
