May 13, 2013, Monday - Vikings Stadium Preliminary Design Reveal at the Guthrie

Time: 7:00pm

Per Richard Meryhew's April 27 post on the StarTrib:

Excerpts from the article:

...architects plan to deliver the goods by unveiling the preliminary design for the nearly billion-dollar stadium in a 7 p.m. showing at the Guthrie Theater.

“We’ll go through all the details of the building inside and out,” said Michele Kelm-Helgen, chairwoman of the authority, which is overseeing construction of the project, to be built on the Metrodome site.

Stadium groundbreaking is still expected to take place in October, even though revenues for the state’s portion of construction financing are lagging well behind projections. The Metrodome is tentatively scheduled to be razed in early 2014 with the new stadium scheduled to open in time for the 2016 NFL season. In the meantime, Vikings home games will be at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus.
