I think it should be outdoors because football isn't an indoor sport. We can use the cold weather to our advantage against warm weather teams in the later part of the season. We don't need an indoor facility because there are already two in Minnesota. There's the Target Center and the Xcel Energy Center. A roof wont benefit the Vikings anyway.
 
I agree with you. Minnesota has such an interesing climate. They shouldn't try to hide it in a dysfunctional dome.

Dome games aren't as fun, let's be honest here. The Bears and Packers already have stadiums that incline their weather and always have had. I hope Minnesota follows suit and hopefully Detroit will do someday.

The NFC North games would be WAY more intriguing.

Minnesota has become an indoor playing team so I doubt they'll go with an outdoor stadium. It'd be epic if they did, but I doubt it. I think they'll get another dome, hopefully with better structural support.

Wrong, King of ?. Football was meant to be played in the fall. Only the NFL, and bowl games in moderate climates, has ever played football after November.
 
You want more people to come to your games and want to play outside?Geez that sounds like a bad plan from the start.Before Favre the Vikings had trouble selling out games with no wind and cold elements hitting them.Now for some reason you believe this will be a selling point?
Your games against the Packers and Bears every year will not give you an advantage.There are a few other cold weather teams in the NFL that u do not have any advantage over.
The Target Center is what a little over 20,000 people.The Xcel Energy Center is less then that why did u bring em up?The Vikings aren't going to play there
Yes people are going to flock in droves to see the Vikings play.Paying NFL prices to sit in the snow and rain.Good Luck with that
 
I too think it should be outdoors, just like the good ol' days. Football was meant to be played in the elements and in the elements it shall be played. And now they won't have to be a pussy dome team.
 
I hope they will have an outdoor stadium. They play in the NFC North and two teams in their division play outside. Lets have an unified division and lets play outside
 
Minnesota should have a outdoor stadium.They already play Chicago and Green Bay and sometimes it is cold there.The glory days of the Vikings were when they played outdoors.I believe it would help them.They are no team that would want face the Vikings in Minnesota late in the season and in the playoffs in that cold.
 
And the money for this new stadium comes from where exactly?

That's what I thought.
