Ours is built and in use. Yours has not even broken ground! That is some crazy logic! Plus our team is far superior to the Vikings as well!
Crazy logic is saying that things that are approved and will be constructed by 2016 don't count towards what a city's downtown will be.

Define "far superior". If you mean losing in the 1st rd of the playoffs, then they're even. Peterson vs. Manning is a close call, and that's only because Manning is, IMO, THE best QB to grace the gridlines since Montana/Marino (even if he's not quite his former self, unfortunately). The defenses are very similarly rated on an overall rating, and the special teams might lean towards the Vikes. In 2013, I expect to see more of the same from the Vikes, and less of the same from the Broncos. But then again, the Broncos play in the extremely weak AFC West....

I am talking about the entire team history. But even recent history has us as the far better team. Does not matter how you cut it (SB wins, total team wins, Best season records) Denver is the better franchise!

..... it's called construction. Things have to be built. That's how it has always worked.

If Denver didn't win the SB in the late 90's they, like the Vikes, would be 4-5 time SB losers. So it's ironic to see you touting your team as these superior champs when they are literally 1 game away from being another Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, or Minnesota Vikings.

I'm just as much a Brewers fan, and I live in Milwaukee. I think Target Field is a smashing success, a great park in the skyline shadows. The new Vikings stadium looks like a confused, hulking mess. It's ugly, period. I know you are excited that you finally have a new deal set, but it doesn't make the new design attractive in any way.

I do have my problems with the new stadium, but remember, what is shown in the pictures are renderings that lack a lot of the outside detail and realism. It will look a lot better in real life when it isn't a solid color rendering.
