Posted on 05/14/13 at 02:31 pm in response to Practical considerations aside, Vikings stadium design is impressive

This stadium is a monstrosity. It is oversized for the neighborhood, and will stick out like a sore thumb. There are 4 story high blank walls. There is nothing to connect it with the neighborhood.

To compare this design with the Guthrie or the Weisman is to compare an AMC Gremlin with a Ferrari or a DeLoren.

Hopefully the Minneapolis City Council will reject this hideous design and tell them to try again. But seeing as how the Council screwed the taxpayers to pay for this...

Funny I went to Pawlenty's website and watched his campaign video on YouTube, which talks about Freedom of Speech and prosperity.

However when I went to post a comment, about how he left the state with a $6 billion dollar deficit, cut funding for education, cities and the poor and how my property taxes doubled in the 8 years he was Governor, my message was not immediately approved and will have to be reviewed and approved by a moderator.
