God has issued his judgment on the Minnesota Vikings' season, and it didn't go well for the Vikings. They were found guilty of mass incompetence,
boners, and general suckiness. Their punishment: the collapse of their home stadium, the Metrodome. The
Metrodome, the NFL's 33rd ranked stadium (FYI, the NFL currently has 32 teams), is almost 30 years old, and is the reason the Viking's have said they were
contemplating leaving Minnesota for LA for years. Watch the roof give into God's wrath below. Maybe this will prompt the Vikings to finally leave for LA and then win a Super Bowl (they'll never win it all in Minnesota).
I agree that what happened is the hilarious/ridiculous... but the worst stadium? almost 30 years old? Have you been to/ seen Candlestick/3com/monster/candlestick again park? It is so old the Beatles played there. It was actually built below sea level... next to the sea. Pieces fall off the stadium every year and nearly kill people.
ReplyDeleteon a sidenote: inflatible ceilings just don't seem like a good idea
I agree that Candlestick is a bad stadium, however, it does have a lot of (football) history that the Metrodome doesn't (e.g. "The Catch"). The Vikings have never won anything of consequence at the Metrodome, they've only had huge appointments (e.g. "The Miss," Gary Andersen's miss in the '98 NFC Championship,).
ReplyDeleteAlso, at least it's seen the Beatles play there, the dome typically hosts monster truck rallies when it's not hosting the Vikings.
Minnesota sounds classy
