None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes. |

Besides, as much as it's decided already, it really doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong. Certainly not trying to draw you into a discussion. We disagree fundamentally on a few things. My point is the Vikings bill doesn't take away money from funding for the roads. That's all. |
 Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!! |

Lucas Oil is a indoor stadium as their roof retracts. Ford Field is a domed stadium without a bubble on top since they have a stationary roof. My way of looking at it. You can call it anything you want. |

You call me names and then don't explain the difference. Who's the fucking retard now? I assume since we've gone over this already you're just trolling him now, but just in case...i'll explain it again. =/= is the non-coders equivalent to the coders != when u see =/= picture this ≠ |

Dome: Indoor stadium:
Notice the buildings' roofs. Okay, but the Vikings new stadium will not have a retractable roof, like the one you pictured (Lucas Oil). So, wouldn't that mean it would be classified as a dome then? btw, after the last post in this thread .... != means not equal, figured you were smart enough to know this. |

You can call it anything you want. Domed stadium = a big round thing on top. You know.. Like a DOME. And indoor stadium is something more like Lucas Oil field, regardless of the roof's mobility. But that's just me.

Dome - non-retractable roof
Indoor Stadium - retractable roof
Outdoor Stadium - where men play I'm flattered you are impressed with my webrnet muscles. Just because you perceive my post as being 'a complete prick' doesn't mean I am. Just means I'm discussion semantics. |

Formo, is there some kind of picture of what is being designed for the new stadium?

Susie and Timmy are still working on the final proof.  |

But that's just me. So, you insult my intelligence because you can't make up your own mind? That's a complete prick thing to do. Don't worry, I won't double your membership fee for being a fucking dickhead. |

Don't be so quick to say that. http://profootballtalk.n...actable-roof-to-stadium/Quote:Wilfs may add retractable roof to stadium
Posted by Mike Florio on May 11, 2012, 7:39 PM EDT
Vikings Stadium AP
MDS pointed out earlier that the new Vikings stadium may host a Super Bowl.
Given the loose, non-binding quid pro quo that the NFL applies when a city/state coughs up big money for a new stadium, it would be a surprise if it doesn’t happen.
What would be a surprise — and a major one — is if the new stadium has a retractable roof. Approved via the Minnesota legislative process as a venue with a fixed lid, brothers Zygi and Mark Wilf suggested in a Friday session with reporters that the finished product may have the ability with the press of a button to go topless.
“Well if it’s snowing very, very hard we’ll open up the roof,” Zygi Wilf said, jokingly.
Asked if that means the new building will have a retractable roof, Zygi Wilf said, “Well, I don’t know.”
Mark Wilf was more candid. “We’re going to try to get the maximum number of features within the budgets. . . . We’re going to want to make it something special. And to the extent retractability can get there, we’re going to try to do it.”
And here’s where a cynic (I don’t know any) would say, “Sure, now that you’ve finagled more than $500 million in public money, you can justify spending the extra money that you didn’t have to devote to the project on a retractable roof.”
Then again, how cynical is it to think that the Wilfs didn’t make any serious noise about paying for a retractable roof before the stadium bill was approved because, if they had, plenty of lawmakers would have said, “Why not just spend the money it would take to add a retractable roof on the stadium itself and reduce the burden on the public?”
OK, it’s fairly cynical. There’s also a chance it’s fairly accurate. |

no way it has a lid. they will not cough up one nickle more than they have to on a building they don't own. My guess is they will sell the franchise before the first lease is even up. |
