Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
Huh. New renders showing a glass skyway, speculation? Or do they know something we don't know.

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
The skyway to the parking ramp has always been part of this. That's the climate-controlled VIP access the NFL requires.
The problem with being an introvert online is that no one knows you're just hanging out and listening.
Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
I'm pretty sure a skyway was always part of the plan. Of the specific concept above, I like it. Complements the angular qualities of the stadium.

It's also been in the physical models.

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
Does this picture show a more reflective glass instead of crystal clear glass like before? Does this possibly have something to do with the bird issue?

It appears to be evening... hence the reflection.
Daniel Libeskind should probably get some kind of royalty from this.

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
they're also huge proponents of our region ( and making money) but it's kind of obnoxious to keep beating this horse.They're sort of gigantic tools, aren't they?

Re: Minnesota Multi Purpose Stadium
The scale of the building and the construction equipment is absolutely incredible. I don't think we truly understand the massive scale of the building yet, I think it could the dwarf the new Wells Fargo buildings . Also it looks like the next piece of the roof structure they are going to put in place is the "bow" that reaches out towards Downtown.
