Vikings fans waste money on bricks

Buried in this article about a fancy new boat outside of the fancy new Vikings stadium is this nugget.

The engraved fan pavers will form the bedrock. The team has sold about 6,000 of the pavers and has room for twice as many. Priced at $160, $295 and $360, fans can choose their statements to be a permanent part of the structure at www.vikings.com/bricks

So the Packers sell stock giving people a chance to have an ownership stake in an NFL team, and the Vikings fans lambast the Packers fans who bought said stock.

Then the Vikings turn around and sell worthless bricks at about the same price point as the Packers' stock and the Vikings fans just gobble them up. 😂

Silly Queens!

So yes we have bought stupid things and I think its neat that you can buy a brick and put whatever you want on it and it will be part of the new stadium

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I bought one of the chunks of Lambeau Field that they sold when they had to resod before the NFC title win against Carolina.
It was only $15, not $100.
I still have it.

Hey, somebody has to make those bricks.
Hopefully they aren't made in China.
