Re: Google Maps

Some suburbs seems to have updated as well... the Vikings training facility now appears for example. Appears to be early summer 2017.

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium

Agreed - I viewed this as sort of a one-time "favor" by the NFL to us for building the stadium.

Ford Field in Detroit (opened in 2002) hosted a Super Bowl in 2006 and there isn't any talk of them being awarded another one.

For some people it might be more difficult to go back and read previous replies in the thread. No need to mock.

Re: United Properties / Four Seasons "Gateway" Project (Nicollet Hotel Block)

Was just looking at the site on Google maps. Holy cow is the satellite image old. You'd think they'd update that with the Super Bowl coming up... I believe google maps now defaults to the 3D view which is more outdated. If you toggle 3D off, you will see a more recent image. For example, US Bank St...

Re: DTE: Wells Fargo, Radisson Red, Edition Apts & Millwright Building

Saw a 'Starbucks Coming Soon' sign in one of the retail spaces at the Edition Apartments. The one that's directly adjacent to the park.

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates

Never saw a game at the Humpty Dome. Were the miles of chain link fence and the temporary security tents a part of that game day experience too? Seems to me that security and crowd access and flow could (should) have been an integral part of the design of the plaza, the gates and the walks. The pla...

Re: Stadium LRT Station, Ped Bridge & Plaza (MSFA block)

For major events held at the stadium, the skyway system will be opened for extended hours to ensure all guests get home safely.
Is there anything to stop Wells Fargo from saying "lol, no" and just shutting down their skyway at the normal time?

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates

I'd say it's only worth it if you don't plan on going to any events there soon.
