From an article today. More money for concessions. Nothing for keeping birds from death by glass. I put a curse on this stadium. May it bring no joy to the owners. I hope anyone who thinks sports is more important than helping natures creations survive wakes up and sees this boondoggle for what is really is - more of your money in the pockets of millionaires who do not care about anything else. The Minnesota Vikings’ owners have agreed to put more money into the $1 billion Minnesota Multipurpose Stadium. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority is expected to rubber-stamp the additional money at a meeting Friday morning. The agenda for the meeting says only, “approve project budget amendments,” but Michele Kelm-Helgen, who chairs the authority, provided more information in an e-mail with the caveat that the adjustments are tentative pending board action. According to Kelm-Helgen, the Vikings have agreed to increase their contribution to the stadium by $647,838. The biggest chunk, $234,889, would go toward “changing finishes and food service capabilities” on the second level of the stadium, which is under construction in downtown Minneapolis. Enhanced concessions revenue is one of many reasons the Vikings wanted a new stadium.
