Burning it into a fireball to the national anthem sends the same message. And that message is, "One of these years, I'm finally going to succeed in blowing off my hand on the 4th of July."

TBGKon Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Call me crazy, but I love that roof in Minnesotas new stadium. It was hard to believe on TV that the game was indoors. Here's hoping that Tampa Bay baseball team comes up a similar idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycle back on this tweet when it gets proven wrong, of course, but it sure wouldn't shock me in the least if they win their division this year. Youre right, they have a solid team there. AFC South is always wide open until the dust settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So Sanchez is gonna maybe get cut. He couldn't even beat out Trevor Siemian for the starting job in Denver. Very interesting there with such an unproven and not that highly touted of a QB taking over for the champs.

masterchaoss Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I can only imagine how much this guy is gonna get on the field. I understand a vet doing this, but a rookie who hasn't proven anything is putting himself in a bad pr space before his career even started. Kershaw is GOD! Kershaw is LIFE! Kershaw is ALL!

DaytonBlue Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Agreed about new Vikings stadium. The shadows were barely noticeable and didn't effect TV viewing. I know shadows in some stadiums really impact the quality of the TV broadcast.

4_tattoos Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 A little confused by Minnesota's new dome. Does the solid part of the roof have the ability to slide over the glass parts? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ETFE. A stadium in NZ has it over the entire roof and has a grass field And greenhouses have been used to grow sod for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogeshak Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 US Bank Stadium was incredibly loud for a preseason game. Packers @ Vikings is going to be one heck of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 As impressive as the Vikings' stadium appears, it still wasn't necessary.

The only thing that may have made sense would've been to have a shared UM/Vikings stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Right, exactly, expand TCF Bank Stadium to accommodate both teams full-time. Football stadiums sit empty most of the year; you don't need two. With the way people would rather watch football on TV, you barely need one. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Chargers have come off looking worse because they tried to wedge in verbiage that is generally not used on rookie contracts to try and force Bosa's hand. When the players union tells you it's a bad deal, don't sign it, you generally follow their lead on it. His mom is making life miserable by saying they should have pulled an "Eli" though.

Minnesota's stadium doesn't have much space for expansion and would require another stadium for both teams to play in while expansion went on. If they still had the Metrodome it's not issue but remember, TCF Stadium didn't even have warmers under the field until after the Vikings vs Bears game after the Metrodome roof collapse a few years ago proved that it was needed.
