Just out of curiosity, did anyone notice that TCF stadium only has two (somewhat smallish) banks of big lights on one single side?

The lights on the other side are skimpy, kind of built in to the rim.

It wasn't really designed for night games, as best I can tell.

I think Monday Night Football in December, in Minnesota...

It might be dark outside.

It may only look that way, but let me tell you as a guy that's only missed 2 games at The Bank, night games are perfect there. In fact, the best atmosphere I've ever experienced at a football event were the night games. The following links are photos from opening night last year against Air Force. They were the best pics I had of the field once the sun set. Let me assure your worries (as if they were really legitimate, haha) that the field will be seen just fine.

You coulda at least used a telephoto lens on the one with cheerleaders. 🙂

That was my uncle with his camera. For a former professional photographer, he sure doesn't know how to operate the new digital cameras. Sorry bud. 🙂

Fine.. than as a taxpayer base.. pay for it twice or don't bitch when the Vikings leave.

I get what you were saying, as far as public funds go. And it makes sense, in that way only.

The U used a loan to help pay for TCF, of which has interest. I'll have to find the figures on it, but I'm pretty damn sure that's why they were able to get state approval before the Twins did (and obviously before the Vikes).

As much of a proponent I am for lower taxes, as a fan I'm willing to pay an increase to go towards a new stadium for the Vikes. I can understand why others don't want to bend in their beliefs, and I surely don't blame them. Unfortunately, it's out of my hands. Sure is alot of talk about a new stadium when we don't even know if there even is going to be an NFL season next year..

Don't you have some shoveling to do Formo? We'll see what kind of awesome fan base the Vikings have this week when they shovel out.

Nice video, Prof.. As creepy as it was. lol

I'm just in complete disbelieve with the players Bearce and Vikings alike. Seriously, if I hear another Viking player piss and moan again about the field 'issue', those overpaid whiny pussies can take a flying leap. Dress up some high schoolers from the TC and pit them against some high schoolers from Chicago. At least you know we'll get to watch a FOOTBALL game instead of two groups of vaginas that can't pull their heads out of their asses.

I'm getting to the point where I'm glad I'll be working on Monday night.. At least I'll be doing something productive with my time instead of wasting it on MNF. There were THOUSANDS of Minnesotans that busted their asses off for 4-5 days to shovel out that place, and these 'athletes' have the gall to make those comments?

Fuck you NFL players. And the giant yellow association you rode in on.

can't be. Packer fans would want the Vikes to beat the Bears. And since they would need all the help they can get they need to be inside that stupid horn tooting dome.

Mucky Tundra (31-May) : @ByRyanWood Without Elgton Jenkins and Zach Tom, #Packers starting OL: Rasheed Walker, Jordan Morgan, Josh Myers, Sean Rhyan, Andre Dillard.

Martha Careful (31-May) : I have never seen an OTA, but who is lining up at LT and RG with starters? or is it all individual drills?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : Bears are the first team to be selected for Hard Knocks

dfosterf (29-May) : Andy Herman and his Pack a day podcast put up GB strengths yesterday. This morning he did weaknesses. They are both very good.

Zero2Cool (22-May) : Savage played last half of season with tear in rotator cuff

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
