News Story by Finley

Finley                  New Staduim?
On July 22, 2016 the new US Bank Stadium opened up for the Minnesota Vikings in the Downtown East section of Minneapolis, MN. They made it because the old Metrodome had a huge collapse from snow on the fiberglass fabric roof and was over thirty years old.  The new stadium cost over $1.061 billion to build!

When the stadium opened, people were asked what they thought.  One writer said, “The design of the building is beautiful in itself, but understanding all the logistics and functionality behind the architecture makes it that much more significant.” The stadium is very modern, full of glass and has a unique, ship-like shape.  It makes you wonder how it can stand up, how does it fit together and how can a field be inside?

Another person responded simply by saying, “So. Big.”  The stadium looks like a building, but is gigantic.
