The sale of engraved paving stones is not at all new. I have known of churches, fraternities, as well as city projects that have raised money in this manner. In fact, I can recall that the city of Norfolk,Va. raised money this way when they built their Scope (coliseum)/Chrysler Hall complex back in the 70's. That beautiful complex still stands to this day, along with the original paving stones. They still represent the pride that members of the community had and still have.

I have no problem with the Vikings giving their community a similar opportunity show their support for something that they take pride in. Perhaps the Packers will build , or already have built a park or stadium addition that will offer supporters a chance to do the same thing. Furthermore, I fail to see the need to bash Minnesota or any other American location. There is such a thing as carrying a sports rivalry too far.

The fact is that lots of organizations do thing like this and I think Packers fans were unfairly flamed for their version of it.

The Vikings have a 30 year contract at the new digs. I'm pretty sure the next owner won't have a need or want for a new stadium...

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

    Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
    beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
    beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
    Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
    Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
