What improvements are needed for the Vikings to use TCF Bank Stadium?


There are some very serious issues that would need to be addressed if the Vikings were to play at TCF Bank Stadium for a period of time. First and foremost is beer. People can't be expected to watch a NFL game without beer. It just can't be done. Secondly, something would need to be done about the atmosphere. It's not sterile enough, and all the stuff that mentions the University of Minnesota and it's partners would need to be covered unless they're Vikings sponsors. And it goes without saying that suite, concession, and parking revenue would need to go to the right people.

Heating coils are just an afterthought, people.
 

I think MLS is pretty happy with their current size and is looking to improve the quality of the franchises instead of focusing only on quantity.

the nhl could learn something from the mls on this.

you know when the early iterations of the nfl came into being (back when the minneapolis red jackets were a part of the nfl along with the chicago bears/staleys) it was often referred to in the press as "the beer league". apparently little has changed in 90 years as far as the nfl and alcohol! ;-)

and who says that suite, concession and parking revenues go to the vikings? the U of M was given a raw deal in the metrodome for years (in comparison to the vikings and twins) when it came to these various stadium revenue sources. if i am the U of M my response is you want to play in OUR stadium, then you pay and play by OUR rules.......we played by your and the twins rules for 30 seasons. no longer.
 

the only improvement needed are airplane tix to LA for the whole team
