What do you want IN the new stadium?

Post by PurpleMustReign »

I have no pull or weight whatsoever on this subject, I am just curious as to what you all have for ideas INSIDE the stadium.

For example, I would love to see purple seats on the first and third level, with yellow seats in the middle.
I would also like to see some kind of Viking ship on one of the endzones, similar to what Tampa has.

A Super Bowl-winning home team!

I think some sort of Vikings hall of fame would be great in the stadium. Is something like that part of the plan already?

That would be pretty bright but it might look cool.

Hmmm... I don't know if they should re-use the ship idea although it IS cool in Tampa Bay. Incorporating a Vikings ship in some way is a great idea and I definitely like the idea of some Vikings-related decor. Maybe they can do something with shields as a design motif. The doorways leading into the stands could have a dragon's head framework (like dragon heads on Viking ships).

Photographs of great players and moments in Vikings history would be nice too. Soldier Field has a lot of that stuff and it makes it fun to walk around the stadium.

What about a huge dragon head on the outside of the stadium with huge purple eyes that light up during a game? And then huge fireworks that come out of the top of the stadium when they score. I may be able to see the fireworks from my house in a night game :)

What I want in the new stadium is a giant scoreboard that reads Vikings: 32 Saints:10 Minnesota Vikings NFC Chamopins :rock:

If I spent any time walking around their stadium grounds, I'd probably have the urge to drop a wet deuce.

I want comfortable seats, raised seats. I want the new stadium to have flat screens (50 inch) in every corner and maybe a 40 inch flat screen in the restroom. I also would like to see some of the Viking legends pictures all over the place. And lastly I want hot chocolate and doughnut stands added to the menu list.

What do I want in the new stadium? Me!!! I would like season tickets for myself and three of my closest friends. :-)

Barring that, a Hall of Fame would be absolutely necessary, and it would be cool to have an interactive "History of the Minnesota Vikings" area. Also, a special "party area" where fans could win seats to the game and get food and souvenirs - all care of corporate sponsorships, of course.

Better beer and prices

Would be cool to have some local food options kind of like how Twins use Kramarzcuk's sausage for brats

If emergency...a decent place to drop a #2

I'd say at 1 home game a year, actors playing actual vikings run through the stands and pillage people's food. There is 1 viking per section. They run around looking for which persons food they wanna steal...Whoever's food he “steals", that person gets a $100 gift certificate for anything sold at the game.
