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.

Who Vikings Fans Should Blame For The Metrodome Roof

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.

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.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

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.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
