The Falcons Stadium is really beginning to take shape.

Who's ever heard of a football stadium that looks like the Disney Concert Hall? Chris Kluwe would love the new stadium. I'll give you that.

Idk about the Falcons stadium but the Vikings had huge potential in a large empty plot of land out in the suburbs.... now they are stuck with the same downtown location with crappy parking.
I'm lost how a suburban location is better than a downtown location. Is the Superdome just lucky or something?

More room, better parking.

That's kind of negated here though, as the new stadium (and the existing Dome and Philips Arena) are practically on top of a subway station. MARTA moves a ton of people to and from events pretty efficiently at this site.

That's a terrible reason.

Talking about Minny, not Atlanta.

But they're just as stupid for that.

What exactly do you mean? Both new stadiums are being compared, and they're both in their respective cities Downtowns.

Yes but we were talking about Minny, I don't think Minneapolis has a subway?

ATL's stadium has unique traits... Minny's does not.
What is the identity of the Vikings new stadium? What makes it Vikings stadium?? I dont see anything there that truly separates it and makes it stand out.
ATL's on the other hand, you have the unique retractable roof scructure. I've definitely never seen one open and close the way that does. Then putting the LED scoreboard ring where it's at is absolutely brilliant and very attractive. It also has very impressive exterior lighting as well.

Minny's is just weak... Nothing special. Especially not for that price tag.
