Interesting that 30 plus years ago, when the Metrodome was built, a domed stadium was considered essential due to the bitter cold of Minnesota winters. But now, some say that the cold weather could be a “home field advantage” to the Vikings. Interesting how the views of things have changed.
Vikings playing outdoors : 4 NFC Titles
Vikings playing indoors : 0 NFC Titles
Coincidence? I think not.
The Metrodome cost (inflation adjsted) $170 million. The Vikings are demanding a stadium costing $1 billion - 2/3 publically financed. They are not interested in any compromise on that. In fact any suggestion that maybe 3/4 of a billion ( 4X fancier than the Metrodome) might be more realistic is thown back in our faces with disgust, as if we insulted them.
Leave you bastards.
