I've been saying for years that Minnesota needs to bring back outdoor stadiums.   
  
For the Vikings, it would provide the same midwestern cold-weather edge which they enjoyed in the 70's and which Fat Bay still enjoys to this day 
  
For the Twins, it could provide a good advantage when the temps start dropping in Sept/Oct, though I'm not sure how much it would be.  
 Alot of people seem to think the Twins will get a stadium in St.Paul. *Knock on Wood* that it finally happens. 
  
I think once and if the Twins get a stadium. The Vikings will get one. Most likely the site in Anoka county. 
  
The Gopher football program I can't see having as much difficulty as the pro teams have had.
