Billion dollar "death trap" for birds. 😂

"We're talking about a billion-dollar stadium here, and the cost to save perhaps thousands of migratory birds -- and make the Vikings a global leader in green stadium design -- is about one-tenth of one percent of that," Matthew Anderson, the executive director of the Minnesota chapter, told CBS Minnesota. "We know the people of Minnesota do not want their money killing birds."

Well.......they didn't let me down!
I wonder who designed that thing? Maybe they did it to take away the fan's eyes from the awful purple Queens.
I don't know......but I think maybe Ziggy should have the designers of that thing drug tested.😁

I've seen it in person several times. It is not that bad.

I feel like the article is a bit over the top, but it sure doesn't look as good as some of the plans I saw before construction started.

It's not ugly, but it does look like something Darth Vader could've designed.

If you ask me, this option was a lot better... Although I'm not sure if it was ever under any real consideration.

It is a standard glass building with a ski ramp on top.

It looks awful and is not ecologically sensible. Just when I thought I couldn't hate the Vikings anymore.

They saved on construction costs by not building a trophy case

It's a cool building,

Not a football stadium though.

Edit: Doesn't look as bad when you see some more angles. Looks like a Viking boat... Kinda.

But football needs to be in the weather, these domed pussies need to man up!
