Thread: Doug Grow: The Dome turns 25, unique, if not loved

Nobody expects that this is going to be one of those 25th-anniversary celebrations that evoke a lot of gooey sentiment.

Our Metrodome never has been that sort of place...

There have been less glamorous events as well. A few days ago, for example, the Dome was host to "Dog Night at the Dome."We had 102 dogs and 125 people, and none of the clients urinated on the trash bins," Lester said. Thus the dog crowd was more orderly than a typical Vikings crowd.

2011, the MetroDump lease expiry year, is the ultimatum facing the Minnesota pols.
And 2008 is probably the last year to get approval for the Valhalladium as 3 years is a minimum time to build a stadium without many flaws due to shoddy, rapid construction.

It's scary how close that is.

That scares me, and I hate California
