I’m from Minnesota and if you want to make a video on U of Minnesota arenas start with “the barn” aka Williams arena. Needs an upgrade or needs to be demolished. Gophers football stadium has changed names a couple times and is due for renovations in my opinion, twins stadium just got renovated as well

I worked at U.S Bank stadium and I learned that the basement area was the metrodome's basement.

The video of the collapse still gives me chills to this day!

The dome was also used by the Timberwolves for their first few years in the NBA. Also, if you sat in the right field upper deck @the metrodome, you couldn't see the right fielder or any right field action and not much of the center fielder. Lots of open seats for most home Twins games, so you can move to a better seat. Most think the dome is a bad stadium, but I spent about half my life going to various games there. Will always have a special place in my heart. And US Bank Stadium isn't as nice as you think it is. If you move in your seat, the whole row moves. Also, not too many bathrooms. Seems like a pretty cheap stadium for $1.5 billion, but it will actually be paid off very soon by the state and the Wilfs. Great video, thank you.

For Twins games the right field wall was dubbed "the Hefty bag." A few sports writers would call the upper deck curtain "the Casaba." The plexiglass made me think about hockey. It was quite the quirky place.

Looks like the Twins took seats away when the wall of large baseball cards went up. That explains the seating cap for baseball falling at the end. Tony Dorset 99 yard TD run on MNF I believe in the 82 strike season.

I am so biased towards the benefits of the metrodome. Efficiency in a stadium, remember we dont need professional sports teams. They are just entertainment. If you can grasp a multipurpose stadium where the local communities benefitted heavily from the games since the profit rates went more towards the communities compared to others. It was a win win win win win for MN. The wall of seats were cool as F. Big blue monster, i would sit in dead center field at the highest point of the lower deck and look down on those seats. Great openness experience. It's efficieny even dripped into the game, the wall of seats were the batter's eye. Now stadiums struggle with that area. What just a black box or put some green leafs there. The metrodome was killing it for MN. Big BLUE MONSTER WAS awesome to view when way above it. Would have loved to see more playoff games there!

As a baseball stadium, it was definitely one of the strangest looking ones out there. The right field to center field will was ridiculous.

There are college baseball games at US Bank Stadium. The stadium still had the right field seats pissed back.

As a kid I loved the old stadium and the Vikings 1975 to 1978. Then Fran T. retired.

Also the Timberwolves play they're the first couple season turn The target Central got built in open great video keep up the great content the depressed Ginger

When I went there for a baseball game it literally looked like a big bag of JiffyPop

I went to an NSYNC concert at the Metrodome! 😅

i miss this place

It is also used for high school baseball games too.

"It's like seeing your parents naked" Sorry you had to go through that dude! Damn.

The Dome hosted hundreds of baseball/softball games in the spring for area colleges and US bank continues that function.

The Metrodome was picked on from the day it opened in 1982 until the final Vikings game in 2013

Gophers played there too from1982-2008 and wolves for one season in 1991

The Dome was a terrible stadium for baseball and a replacement-level stadium for football, but as a Minnesotan, some of the best sports memories in our state's history occurred there.

The new roof the Metrodome got after the collapse I'm pretty sure went to the Carrier dome

It had a longer life than the Georgia Dome did!

The Vikings gave up one of the best home field advantages when they moved out of Metropolitan Stadium. One of the reasons why they went to all of their Super Bowls prior to the Metrodome. Terrible decision.

Wwe needs to host Wrestlemania someday at US Bank stadium

You're also overlooking that the University of Minnesota played football there for many years.

It was December 2010 when the roof collapsed

The state really did get its use out of the stadium. It was booked for 300 days out of the year. It was one the upper level of multi use stadiums

IT was still multi use after the Twins left because the Universtiy of Minnesota continued to use it for their baseball team until it was demolished. ps Proactive? They didn't start talking seriously about a new stadium until the Vikings were talking about relocating. Hell, they went through multiple sagas of former owner Red McCombs trying to move the team to San Antonio.. That wasn't real proactive.

Known around baseball as the Homerdome.

It was a dump

They also rebuilt almost everything in it

Hmmmmm, I don't think the NHL has a natural light stadium either

BC Place in Vancouver basically copied the Metrodome

I really enjoy your content, but every episode I have watched, I go away feeling like I have been yelled at for the duration.

You know whats funny? The new stadium where the vikings play kinda of looks like the old staduim inside when it host college baseball games with that big outfield wall.

I was pleased the day they tore the dome down. Lousy stadium, poorly designed, and an outright dump. It became obsolete by the end of the 80’s.

Bro what the that ain’t even English
