I like those huge glass doors - should open them when we got the wind in that direction to mess of opposing team fg's :rofl:

I love Lucas Oil Stadium - the form, the lines, the materials. This design could not be any more different if they'd designed it on Mars.

I don't think they expected the reveal to take this long. The background image for the video has been changed to the new design.

Yeah, why did they even compare them? I guess the internal layout is similar. but this just looks silly. Maybe if they added a few more angles to it? Maybe slap a trapezoid on that rhombus? And needs another side. Looks like it has about 27 walls. WTFmess. :lol:

at least this design won't produce that annoying light and shadow pattern the prior suggested design would have.

It actually looks very nice as a baseball stadium as well. I'm impressed.

I can't wait for this to open!!!

It looks like something from 2050. I freakin' love it.

Why do I love it? Because it's in Minnesota. That's all that really matters anyway.

I hope we can make it just as loud as we do the Dome.

Congrats to the Vikings, fans, and people of Minnesota! :govikes:

Its different, its bold, it doesn't look like a slab of steel that is Cardinals or Cowboys stadium. I like it.
