The Metrodome never had transparent panels. They were just lighter than before. It was always a fairly bright stadium, as far as indoor stadiums go, thanks to the white Teflon roof that let in some light.
I am a huge fan of placing villages around the stadium. You are correct, parking lots around the parks really takes away the designs of the stadiums today.
I visited Minneapolis in June 2019 and saw this stadium from the outside. It looks amazing! I’d love to get back to Minneapolis sometime for a Vikings game.
@Depressed Ginger My employer did the exterior glass for US Bank Stadium. Along with a group of coworker friends, we took a tour of the stadium in 2016 after the Green Bay game. Amazing place!
I was skeptical at first, but this turned out so much better than any retractable roof stadium. It really does feel like you're outdoors. And it's already paid off, 20 years early. Allegiant was a huge disappointment with the translucent panels instead of transparent. Mercedes Benz's roof is like looking through a tunnel, not much sunlight ends up inside. Where as this stadium was positioned and designed to take advantage of as much sunlight as possible, with the south roof transparent and the west side a wall of glass to catch the last of the setting sun. The only real letdowns are the zinc cladding, which has ended up looking like cheap steel siding and has needed a lot of repairs, and the problems with crime in downtown Minneapolis since 2020.

I wasn't at US Bank Stadium for a Vikings game, but I was there back in the summer of 2019 to volunteer for a National Youth Gathering. There were events at US Bank Stadium each night from the gathering that took place at US Bank Stadium. Being inside US Bank Stadium, I'm not going to lie, it was awesome. It's a spacious stadium, it looks like people can be seated comfortably, and you get a nice view of downtown Minneapolis from the stained glass roof on top of the stadium. US Bank Stadium has a unique design as DG pointed out, but in a way the way it was designed is genius. You're indoors, but still get an outdoors feel because you can still see the outside and the sun and natural light come in when it's nice outside. It doesn't really feel like you're inside a dome stadium. I also like the area outside of the stadium. I think it's called The Commons area? Looks like it would be a nice area to tailgate before a Vikings game. Can you tailgate there before the Vikings games? I had a fun time at this stadium during the week of the gathering. I hope to visit US Bank Stadium again at some point for a 49ers-Vikings game. I'm a 49ers fan! I couldn't make it out for the 49ers-Vikings game there last month, and with the way the 49ers played that night, maybe it was good I didn't go to this game. LOL. But yes, I do hope to check out US Bank Stadium for a 49ers-Vikings game one day. But yes, the Vikings did a great job with this stadium! Not sure I would say US Bank Stadium is the best stadium in the NFL, but it's up there for sure. At least the Top 5 currently. 9:20 Not sure if Minnesota fans would agree but a Spring Training game, possibly the last weekend before the season starts when some teams play at their home ballpark, could be played a weekend at US Bank. Would be cool to see for the nostalgia and novelty. Or even a series where they play in City Connect uniforms as some sort of back-to-the-future type promotion. Seems like DG goes through the comments in previous videos and then makes another video lol U.S. Bank Stadium is a great stadium to watch any event at. It was also an amazing stadium to play a football game at in 8th grade. you say it's futuristic but it's actually based on a historic Vikings house. kind of cool how it followed a traditional Viking house from like Demark.

It's a terrible baseball venue, barely adequate even for college. The Twins want nothing to do with it. But it is very useful to have an indoor venue in the winter for high schools and colleges and it is pretty heavily used.

This stadium is a football cathedral with all the light coming in. If the Vikings ever upgrade this stadium they should make some of the windows towards the roof, stained glass with Viking/Nordic themes.
Drove by it and was impressed by its size. First thought was Noah's Ark. It did look like a technological space ship. They wanted to build an Eden Project in Iowa with those plastic bubble EFT panels. The snow and wind would ultimately win on those types of structures.
Our teans never win. I think Minnesota is the longest suffering sports area. But man are our stadiums beautiful. Even after Target Center and Xcel got their renovations like every one of the big 4 stadiums are beautiful. Even our MLS teams stadium is beautiful.
I can argue that my Browns have suffered longer. Although that is changing as of recently. We're also building a brand new dome, video just dropped yesterday; It's jaw-dropping.

Yes, one Super Bowl was the obligatory one-time pat on the back for bilking taxpayers. Just like Indianapolis. I also doubt we will get another. Especially with how crime infested downtown Minneapolis has become in the past three years.
it was announced 5 days ago that the Cleveland Browns is looking at Brook park property they do have a design and facility in mine. US bank home of the Minnesota Vikings... If its given the green lightt Ground breaking ceremony will be 2025 and open in 2029 My only question i worry about How will game day traffic/Event traffic, etc impact Those going to the airport for work, vacation etc? might want to look into this and talk about this
This is one of my favorites too. However, its a shame to sleep on MBS in Atlanta and rank Allegiant over the Benz. Allegiant stadium is overhyped. It's proximity to a commercial supercenter is what makes it so attractive.
As a Minnesotan. Nobody and I mean literally nobody wanted an outdoor stadium besides the Vikings owners. So the Government listened to the people and said that aint happening.
Lambeau has aluminum bench seating. Nostalgic, sure. Good, not really. The only reason they get away with it is because of their sweetheart special deal with the league that allows for public "ownership". A private owner would have left it decades ago.
@@plmn93 SO? It is still superior to the eyesore that is US Bank and is real football. And it isn't a deal with the league either. They came into existence as publicly owned in 1919, BEFORE they entered the NFL in 1921. There is no deal with the league. I guarnatee you a private owner would leave it either with the money it makes as a tourist destination, which US Bank will never be.
@@chriskay1449 The NFL does not allow any other team to be publicly owned. The Vikings used to owned by public corporations until the NFL banned that in the '70s. So yes, it is a special deal that the Packers have that no other team does. As for your other claims, they are obviously subjective. The only time I sit on aluminum bleachers is when I'm watching my son play at the local high school. If you prefer that, good for you I guess. In the meantime, US Bank is one of the busiest stadiums in the NFL because it was designed first and foremost to be a public asset, which it is.

YOU SEE, THIS IS WHAT THEY NEED TO BUILD IN BUFFALO. I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING BUILDING ANOTHER “OPEN AIR” HIGHMARK STADIUM.
Yeah for what they’re spending for just 10+ games a year. At least with these covered stadiums like the Vikings you can use it year round
