Talk:U.S. Bank Stadium

message: Gov. Dayton has now passed the bill, we are just waiting on the Mpls City Council to "approve" it, which they pretty much have to.  Also, over in the table of contents bar it says "not yet approved" which now needs to be changed.  Vanbis01 (talk) 04:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  2012 Updates 

message: Is there any stadium talks at all anymore? This article needs to be updated. It talks about "progress expected to be made in 2008". Which never seemed to have happened. --Npnunda (talk) 03:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Its locked in ambiguity right now.  They were hoping for progress with the legislature, but the session ended without anything.  The proposal is definitely not dead, but seems to be hibernating, influenced by the economy.  --Bobak (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The Vikings announced today that they will build their new stadium in Arden Hills, which means this article is now completely inaccurate. We should either rewrite it or delete it and write a new one. MplsNarco (talk) 21:17, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite or Delete 

message: The "facts" of this continuing saga are even difficult for news sites to maintain.   Changes occur daily, many of which are unsubstantiated rumors and opinions by outsiders to the discussions, or deliberately misleading statements by opposing sides to influence public opinion.  The use of the picture is especially misleading, given that as of right now (Feb 2012) there are 4 proposals actively under consideration, each with totally different locations, architecture, and supporting/opposing groups and reasons for and against.  Most official discussion is being held privately between the Vikings ownership and the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, and within the affected political councils (Minneapolis City Council, Ramsey County Commission, and the Minnesota State Legislature.)

message: This article is five years old and has been protected only once. Why indefinite? Surely for first time protection, a few days or few weeks would be appropriate. When will the protection be lifted?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.172.214.250 (talk) 18:51, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The edits prior to the protection consisted of vandalism and virtually no constructive edits.  At the same time, there were only a few edits in a span of months.  See the history here.  I'll request unprotection. Ryan Vesey Review me! 18:53, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Is the official name "Vikings Stadium"?  The term "working title" implies the title is undecided at this point.  I suppose other tenants are planned for the venue  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Presbitow (talk • contribs) 06:09, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As mentioned above, it's also being referred to as 'New Minnesota Stadium' so until a permanent name is decided upon, whatever the stadium under construction is being called is the working title. Steelbeard1 (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this is the working title. A permanent title would also depend on whether naming rights are sold right away before it opens, or afterwards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:57, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

message: I was thinking about consolidating this section into a more encyclopedic summary, rather than facts sorted by year. Does anyone have ideas on what is and is not important to keep? --Tommie91•Talk•Contribs 19:40, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal Timeline 

message: Why is this line "The Vikings were 30th out of 32 NFL teams in local revenues in 2005." directly after the section about the leasing rights? the fact that they were ranked badly doesn't mean anything at all, and honestly sounds like some kind of right wing propaganda...

thread_title:  False equilivence 

message: Do we still need this at the top of the article? Now that it's U.S. Bank Stadium it makes less sense to have it there, as the distinguishment was originally added when the article was title "New Vikings Stadium". --Tommie91•Talk•Contribs 13:55, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

message: How relevant is the Crystal Cathedral to this article?  That building is all glass while the U.S. Bank Stadium is only glass on two sides. Steelbeard1 (talk) 11:15, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the connection is weak, at best, and removed several sources that were either not reliable (personal blogs and fan forums) or didn't actually mention Crystal Cathedral (referred to the new stadium as a "cathedral"). It has drawn a few comparisons, but nothing major at this point. By major I'd consider something in an architecture review, such as an architectural journal or in a newspaper. A passing mention of similarities in fan articles and forum posts doesn't cut it. If Crystal Cathedral is mentioned at all, it should be in the overall design section (not in a separate section) and should get a sentence or two at most. If a third-party source doesn't exist that discusses the similarities in depth, there most definitely shouldn't get the most discussion in this article. --JonRidinger (talk) 02:46, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

message: This agency only owns and operates the one stadium, I'm not sure it needs a separate article. The article mostly consists of a running tally of appointments and resignations from its board.  The little bit of history about the commission could easily be a part of the article about the stadium itself. 331dot (talk) 15:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this makes sense. Perhaps the content can be included under a governance/operation section of the stadium article. I think we can lose tables of staff as I don't think they really add anything useful. -Eóin (talk) 03:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
