February 1: Crucial day Minnesota Vikings new NFL stadium
Star Tribune
MINNEAPOLIS- Feb. 1 will be a crucial day in the development of the new $975 million Vikings Stadium.
On that day, the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority, which will own and operate the stadium, will choose a construction manager — the folks to actually build the structure.
Naming the construction firm was delayed a bit to “accommodate requests from proposers for more time to develop proposals,” said MFSA Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen, in a statement.
The design of the stadium by architect HKS Sports & Entertainment will be unveiled in the spring, with a groundbreaking slated for fall. The new facility is expected to open in time for the Vikings season in 2016.
