pretty nice looking place, like the visible skyline

I walked around the outside of the stadium in April and it looks really great.  I have no affiliation to the Gophers but I'm really tempted to drive up there for a game because that stadium kicks a$$.

I can't wait.  91+ days away before kick off.  It looks very impressive... the construction went well.. the only real issue still outstanding is beer sales -- there is a lot of 'premium seating' which carries a hefty, hefty price tag.. if you seat there, the plan was you'd have access to a spot that sells beer. 

A bill was signed into law recent that says, "make it available to all or none"... the University's president's vote is "none", but I believe there is a formal vote at the school later this month.  Hopefully they serve beers everywhere in the stadium.. I get thirsty sometimes.  (at the Metrodome - off campus - there has always been beer sales to everyone of age).

Anyone in MN know what the current situation is with the Vikings' new stadium?  From what I've read, I know that the Vikings would probably use TCF as a temporary home were they to get a new stadium in downtown Minneapolis. 

With the Twins moving out, is a Metrodome renovation a possibility as well?

I'm going to have to talk to my Dad (a TCF exec) to see if we can get up there for a game in the fall so we can check out the place.  And hopefully drink beers in the premium seats

I was there in May.  The field is in place.  Looks ready to go.  It will certainly not be the biggest Big Ten football venue, but I think it will a great experience.  Good bars nearby, some parking.  Still waiting to hear what time they assign for the UW-Minn game.  If they want to curb drinking, they'll make it an 11:00 am start.

The U's Board of Regents today voted against allowing any beer in the stadium.  I'm totally selling my season tickets, dudes.

That is an amazing stadium!

However, I prefer the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles from Coach.

No brainer. Craig T. Nelson is a defensive genuis.
