U.S. Bank Stadium

little water feature there with the mini viking ship. kinda amusing.

Reminds me of the glove outside of Target Field, that would be a really nice feature if they let people climb on it like the glove. There's always a line of people waiting to take their picture at the glove, it would be cool if this ship did the same thing.

mini viking ship

Is the ship actually full-sized? Maybe it seems smaller than it is due to the huge building behind it.

[mullen]

yea probably like the glove feature. i wonder when they're going to announce the u.s. bank naming rights already.

"XYZabc stadium" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Furthering suspicions that ABC Seamless Gutter will get naming rights.

Dumbest thing I've see in a long time.

Almost as good as "XYZabk stadium."

Yeah, it's nice to see them thinking outside the box, trying some different options.

XYZabc... USBank...

Hmm. Interesting choice of capitalization.

Wouldn't it be great if Mark Dayton used his personal funds to buy the naming rights and name it "Minnesota Stadium"? One can dream right?

I had a similar thought last night when I realized the highway signs still say Metrodome and thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if they said "People's Stadium" instead?"

I'm for the Wilf's 8th Wonder of the World!! And yes that is Wedgeguy's snark!

Among the MSFA docs it says they want the "sail" of the plaza viking ship to be a 50 ft x 40 ft video screen. I also found this image:

That really does look like a buttcrack (with a "XYBank stadium" tattoo) facing St. Paul.

[mullen]

tramp stamp. it's the least attractive side of the building for sure.

[seanrichardryan]

LOL. That is not a very graceful angle.

[Wedgeguy]

So the Wilf's piss and moan that Well Fargo should not have a sign on their roof, butt they can put a tramp stamp on theirs is pathetic!

I see a lot of purple seats in there. Can anyone verify that all the seats are going to be purple?

[J2K]

looks like some of the high up end zone seats will have view blocked by roof truss connector look at camera 3 especially

This picture gives a good view of the upper level next to the truss connector. It appears that the seats will be a good bit away and the seats that would've been obstructed are "cut off" where that upper level tapers off away from the truss as it gets higher. I don't think they'll be obstructed. IMHO of course.
