I hope it's shaped like a Viking's ship.

Are they really going to have the Gophers play baseball in there too?

Are they gonna sell the metrodome seats? Would love to get my hands on some. Anyone heard anything?

There's usually much more green and yellow in the stands...

To me, the design is breathtaking. What a stadium.

Interesting the whine there...

65,000 seats, expandable to 73,000
Clear ETFE roof (largest in the world and first on a stadium in the US)
125 suites and 7,500 club seats
Largest glass pivoting doors in the world
Connected to the skywalk system

I find it interesting it is a 'dome' without a retractable roof. That to me would be the only drawback to an otherwise spectacular looking venue.

Phew! That definately makes a statement. Kinda of cool that is is so unique looking.

 

[CyDude16]

At least the stadium is nice, play on the field? Not so much

 

[Clone9]

Honestly, I hate it. I was really hoping they would go with a more classic look. I mean, look at the Metrodome now....that's what this stadium will look like in 20 years.

No thanks

For those unfamiliar with ETFE, it is the material used in the roof over Kansas City Live in the Power & Light District, Allianz Arena in Munich, the 'Water Cube' and National Stadium from the Beijing Olymics, and the roof at Piccadilly Station in Manchester.
