Too bad it's a pointless building.

Not pictured.. The slaughter of thousands of birds crashing into it, or the millions that taxpayers got dicked out of

I like the part where they finish it.But then they start that work all over again. Why build this over and over like that.. whats the point?

Amish could have built it in 2 weeks

Cost more than the New Horizons NASA mission to Pluto. Coincidentally, Pluto also has the same number of Super Bowl trophies.

If the tax payers paid for it them why does US bank get to put their name on it?

It's be any interesting idea to let companies sponsor probes/space missions. Not the worst idea

Good thing i don't like football so this doesn't affect me.
phuckr
Lol vikings suck. No state pride for those guys
NakedTurtles
We're some of the most proud people Ive met, and we allllll know the vikings suck.
I give kudos to those who maintain hope for them? I hate we built a new stadium, but I admit it was ultra amazing for Xgames
Stfu we're just to polite to win
deinfavorit
Meanwhile, we Germans need about 12 years to build a fucking airport.
gandalfgaybeard8
That's nice, but looks like only half of the billion dollar stadium was paid by The Vikings. Who is the other half?
SerialChillinSpree
The owner ziggy guy just got his team subsidized and he's presumably a billionaire...all these owners hold towns' teams ransom. Let em go.

Us MN residents. It's stupid. Should have let the go to LA. Waste of money.
ailike
Sorry. We deserved to lose a team more. -St. Louis
KennyRogersChickens
Cause LA has proven to be such a great place for football? They can't sell out a single game
catsandbeerandbeerandcats
Same thing happened here in Edmonton with the new arena for the Oilers. *Sarcastic thumbs up*

It's why I moved back to Wisconsin... Go Pack!

How do you know when you're near a packers fan? They'll tell you, then piss and moan about how Rodgers is amazing.
Meh. Rogers isn't that great...

Odds are they will be slurring it. Rodgerrrrsss is amazzzzing.

Minnesotian here. Its stupid we hate it. Gets overly packed and vikings suck we did not want it nor need it.
MagicalScientist
I still don't get why we needed the Twins stadium built, either.
BlueberryQuickjet
Didn't the old stadium have its roof collapse?

Should have hired the Amish to do it.

Steelers fan, but I hope you guys do well with Bradford. I always thought he had talent, just was screwed by injuries.
MadamPuddifoot
HERE WE GO! whatcha think of the whole bell fiasco? also, whatcha think of Jesse James as a top TE?
I see both sides of the Bell argument, trusting the FO. Jesse isn't top 5, but is reliable enough to be a good contributor.
as for bell, i almost hope he leaves and somehow we get Saquon Barkley. HE'S the total package,on &off the field. The kid has great vision
I think JJ could be special. He's got the size, and he's got GREAT hands. Improve his blacking game and we have a winner. I'm also biased.
He's a Penn State alum, as am I.
Flareside
Well that was a waste of money
43rdpresident
That's what I said after I paid your Mama. BAM!
It's paying itself off far exceeding the projections right now.
how much of it was paid for by the city? how much was paid for by the actual nfl or the team?
City: 150 million. Vikings owners: 572 million
when are they paying back the 150?
I'm not entire sure, a quick google search could probably tell you if you cared enough.
morakdais
It is a shame that we use state money to build sportsball arenas but hesitate to renovate schools or fix urban blight. But go team!
neeners
When those kids start working, there will be a job for them in or around the stadium.
Ah yes, a low paying service job, sounds great
We all had those kind of jobs in the beginning. There's legitimate whining, then there's I should make $100k out of high school whining.
ILikeToCallItLostWages
the idea is that having an attraction like a sports team will bring revenues to the city for a long time as opposed to a single payment now
Not necessarily defending the cost or citizens having to pay out the ass, but that's the idea
It also brings violence, organized crime and urban blight. It also increases drunk driving and lower property values.
I was unaware the mafia ran football stadium building rings
BustinMakesMeFeelGood420
How does a football stadium bring violence and organized crime and urban blight?
Events held there often bring drug culture, gambling is much more common near stadiums and people move away when stadiums come
Another person who doesn't understand that football is great for business. want to complain? then see how schools spend money in the South
Wasn't it in Texas and Louisiana where they laid off teachers to build stadiums? Also considering the low levels of education in the south..
Nope. US Bank stadium is Minnesota. Just about as far north as possible.
I was pointing out your ridiculous "look at schools in the south" comment
It's not ridiculous. Have you seen the stadiums schools In the South build for football? Oh, you didn't realize what I meant. Thank you.
slapmychipsup
We recently denied 2 million dollars to improve the east side of st Paul. Smart moves
I can just hear some fat 'sotan saying "but teh wikiings!"
What bugs me the most is I like football, I enjoy the Vikings, but fuck man lets be reasonable, spend 1/8th of that amount ffs.
Make them pay for it, not use public money, have your sportsball but taxpayer shouldn't ever pay for it over public works
Yeah unless all of that revenue is going back into the state, which none of it is
I get where you are coming from, however, the state banks on that money being replaced over time via the local economy. i.e people go to 1/2
