per the STrib:
Both the team and the U have put significant thought into trying to make sure Stadium Village, Dinkytown and West Bank businesses and residents can cope and benefit. The first true test comes Sept. 14, when the Vikings host the New England Patriots.
“We are concerned, but frankly, we went through all of this when the TCF Bank Stadium was built,” said Ricardo McCurley, executive director of the Southeast Como Improvement Association. Overall, he said, his group expects things to go smoothly.
Even before the Vikings invasion, the neighborhood has endured extra traffic on some major streets and noise from the Bank. The Stadium Area Advisory Group convened by the university to air concerns about the Bank has been a great forum in which to raise concerns, McCurley said.
