The same day as the House Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee signed off on the Vikings stadium bill, the team released concept sketches of what a stadium might look like on the site currently under discussion.
The proposed 1.5 million-square-foot “Downtown East” stadium would be built on the current Metrodome site for an estimated $975 million. It would have 65,000 seats that would be expandable to 72,000 seats for a Super Bowl. There would be 7,500 club seats and 120 to 150 suites. It would also have a multipurpose, fixed roof in contrast to public requests earlier in the stadium process for a retractable roof.
Take a look at the images the Vikings released Monday and tell us what you think. Is it aesthetically pleasing? Does it fit in with the downtown feel? Is it an improvement over other ideas?

U all just don't get it. By remaining a stinking indoor dome team u give up a tremendous home field advantage. Anybody out there remember the vikings of the 60s and 70s? In late Dec early jan? I've been with this team every step of the way. And staying indoors is a big mistake. Barry a Texas Viking

I agree with Barry. I remember the 1960 Vikings (aka- The Green Bay Packers!!). Now that's the last time Minnesota supported a professional football team. When the current Vikings leave for LA, we can then again support the winning Packers.
