After 32 years of housing countless games, The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome is in the process of being torn down to make room for the new multi purpose, 38 acre behemoth known simply as "The New Vikings Stadium" Bringing on 20 local companies as design subcontractors for the interior and exterior, this only adds to the more than 200 Minnesota businesses working on the project. Boasting impressive stats, the stadium's project manager locally operated Mortenson Construction, strides to reuse or recycle all they can from the old stadium. Over 240,000 pounds of cast iron and 150,000 pounds of plastic have been recycled from the retired seats alone!
Utilizing the largest transparent roof in the nation, 100 foot high pivoting glass doors, and two of the largest video boards in the NFL, the new Vikings stadium is certainly not making a small entrance. At over a billion dollars, hopefully this new stadium will bring the Vikings another Super Bowl win.
