of fans falling or being hit and being severely injured. But who takes the responsibility for this? Just last week, a construction worker fell 50 feet off the roof into a snow gutter while working on the new Vikings stadium. The man died instantly (schwab 1). It may not be entirely the stadiums fault but people are still being harmed so there should be more safety cautions taken. There should be safer stairways. There should be higher and stronger

The Minnesota Vikings finally have their new $1 billion home, though after a recent visit to the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN, there are some details that need to be addressed before this new complex can truly be considered world class including poor signage for navigation around the stadium, sub par food and vendor service, and the biggest issue of having very little parking around the stadium. One of the biggest complaints was navigation around the monstrous complex. The previous home of

In 2013, the NFL’s Vikings and the The Minnesota Metropolitan Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) agreed to construction guidelines for the new Vikings stadium. Replacing the eyesore of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the new stadium called for a modern design with a glass façade that would reflect Minneapolis’s downtown. While the design seemed innocuous to most, ornithologists immediately objected to the plan: large expanses of glass would confuse migrating birds by reflecting the sky. The birds

the City Council and the State Senate condemned the stadium, calling for bird-safe construction. As discussed earlier, the Council even passed legislation calling on the Vikings and MSFA to “to build a bird-safe stadium.” While these governing bodies sought to influence outcomes, fragmentation limited their true power to affect change: the MSFA possessed sole authority on stadium construction decisions, already agreeing to guidelines with the Vikings long earlier: Any legislation passed by governing

The ideal arena deal is paid for by a tax or by private money. Both methods are capable of making this process extremely easy. Efficiency is the key to landing an expansion franchise. MLS franchises have followed different arena plans. None NFL stadium plans aren't stable but they can be lucrative. Seattle has enjoyed enormous success after choosing the first option. Minnesota wants and should have a MLS franchise. The city already features a powerful grassroots Soccer movement. This movement

because stadiums do not do much to encourage them to come back. Without incentives, stadiums will lose many people at events and that results in a major loss of income. In order for a stadium to be successful, owners must intimately know what fans dislike, have a clear understanding of what they like, and figure out what fans want in sports stadiums in order for them to come back. A big amount of money is made in stadiums when the owners find out what the fans like seeing in the stadiums and even

Viking Culture Viking history and culture have been depicted in many movies, television series, and stories. Vikings are commonly known as barbarians that raid villages and intimidate others with huge ships with dragon heads, and horned helmets. This information is based on facts, but has been distorted and exaggerated over many years and tales. Viking history spans from the years 780 until 1100, which is the time span of the Viking raids. Not every Scandinavian was a Viking; Vikings were known

Women in Viking Culture When you think of the Vikings, chances are you think of horned helmets, raids, and bloody battles. But on the other side of the spectrum, there are the women of Nordic culture. Women are mostly thought of as looking like Viking warriors fighting alongside their men. But that was hardly the case. In reality, women were important in many other ways. They were treated very differently than other women in different European cultures at that time. The home lives of the women

The Vikings were known for being marvelous explorers and the authors of the sagas may have wanted to demonstrate why the Vikings were these great explorers by writing about the various new lands that they had discovered. Another reason why the authors wrote the Vinland Sags may have been to honor their ancestors and
