Sneak peek at the new Vikings stadium

With just weeks to go before schematic drawings of the new stadium are due for the MSFA, the similarities of these drawings seem to indicate that they’ve made some progress already. It’s hard to tell how this would look from outside, or what the seats would look like. But they seem to have a basic shape in mind.

    Leave baseball out of this. Sure, there should be other uses for this stadium but the hassle of trying to cram a baseball field into this stadium just isn’t worth it.
