Why, exactly, haven't you dragged your ass up for a game in at least 2 seasons?

=Z=

Because I had my shop burn to the ground, went to work with another company for a while and this year restarted my business again and it takes a lot of time to do that. Plus I coached my sons 6th grade football team this year and my daughter is also in sports. Combine that with having facial surgery to have a big chunk of skin cancer removed, hernia surgery and going to the doctor for knee pain only to find out my ACL is obliterated for the second time and isn't worth fixing I am not sure why I haven't found the time. Plus they play in doors and only pussies watch football indoors on a regular basis.

Hoping this is taken in the spirit in which it was intended. My shitty real-life has gotten in the way this year and this Sunday will only be the 3rd home game I've made it to this season.

For the record, I hope to tailgate with both you two (PF and Z) a few more times in the next season.

Well, assuming that the Vikes end up staying in town.

Yep. I actually loled when I saw the ambulance before I read it.

But you are still a pussy for wanting an indoor stadium.

A. Good
B. I just want a stadium in Minnesota, at this point. Yes, after standing outside in the cold for 3 hours, it's nice to go inside to watch the game. And the Dome has the best seating bowl in the NFL. But outside of the bowl, it's a craptacularly awful place to be.

Yeah, I'm with ya, only I came from the other side of the fence. After experiencing outdoor football with TCF Bank Stadium, I can't understand why someone would want to go inside for games (I actually enjoy the cold games.. Nothing like relaxing at home after 7 hours of gut-spilling support in near-freezing temps). Sure, there are perks for indoor stadiums (stay dry, no sun in your eyes), but I still enjoy TheBank's experience far more than TheDome's.

That said, at this point, I don't care what it is. As long as it's built 1st Class in Minnesota, I'll be happy. I'll be even more happier if it's paid for by Zigy and some sort of casino money (eliminating the bitch-fest we'll get if tax dollars are used).
