Who is going to miss the Dome?

Will anyone actually miss the Minneapolis Metrodome?  The Metrodome roof is the first thing many people won't miss. It's a difficult thing to have to deal with, especially knowing that it can become an issue during games. Most stadiums have the sun to deal with, but that dome causes its own special brand of problems. The ball is the same color as the roof, which obviously causes a lot of errors when playing.

Another issue with playing inside a building is the old air. Many players have sinus issues and get sick from perhaps the mold, bacteria or something else.

Leave me a comment on this blog.... Will you miss the Dome?

Metrodome Site is Clean of Pollutants!

This blogger was doing some research to find interesting Vikings and Metrodome news for my readers when I found this article on Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. Apparently, there was some methane and horse feces under the Saint Paul Saints Midway Stadium which prompted further studies on other stadiums. A small bit of contaminated soil was found under one part of the Metrodome site, which is "probably more isolated and smaller than what they thought," said Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the authority, and the removal will be covered by the existing budget. Great news for everyone!

A view of the proposed stadium and downtown Minneapolis. The land is cleaner than feared.

New Vikings Stadium Plans


Well, hey there VIKINGS FANS! We have been waiting for this day for many many years.. or at least since the Metrodome collapsed! We're sure you've already heard it, the new Vikings stadium has been announced, and we have all the details for you.

The main thing I came away from the new stadium is: glass. The roof will not open and close, however half of it will be see-through. There will be five (yes, five) 95 foot high retractable doors on the west side that will open to connect the building to a public plaza and that will highlight views of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. Pretty!

Personally, I don't know how I feel about the whole Vikings Stadium because they are using $500 million in public money for the stadium. However, being a Vikings fan, I think this will be great and help get fans to the games! And this stadium is apparently going to cost $975 total. The team hopes to begin play in the new stadium by the 2016 season.
