Awesome blueprints that tell me what? So where are the renderings that go hand in hand with them?

Of course Minneapolis has culture. You see it in the art - bold and unpretentious. Museums like the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Walker Art Center. Music, theater, dance. It's there in the streets, in the festivals, in the food. People live it. It's real, simple, and true. No frills, just the essence of the place.

 

 

Why? That certainly removes Jacksonville from the list.

 

 

So be it.

Was that rendering during half time what it's supposed to look like?

No.  Nothing at all like that.

Hope you are right because the seats look far away.

Wish those were the original PDF's and not JPGs.

Only uploaded what was taken off of (if I remember) Etsy. Someone here on TSW saw them, saved them, and posted them here, the guy on Etsy who posted them deleted them like 15 minutes after he posted them. I had them emailed to me and uploaded them via Google Drive so they can be seen better.

We don’t really call them blueprints anymore. There isn’t any blue.  😉

Are these typically accurate?

 

Meaning, the amount of seats shown without a roof over it is likely true?

Yes it is true. At least originally. At one point they came out and amended it and said they had to add money for changes. One of the changes was making the roof larger. nobody knows how much larger. 
 

and this was them claiming something like 62% of the seats would be covered. As you can see this isn’t true based on the pics. Imo it’s smoke and mirrors to make it sound like more seats are covered. Or at least the original prints show that. I’d guess something like 90%+ of the clubs and suites (levels 200, 300, 400) are covered. 70-80%+ of the 500 level seats. And then something like 30% of the lower bowl. Add it all up and average all the % not the actual seats. 
 

of course I have no proof or confirmation of any of this. Simply looking at multiple sketches and prints of the plans for the stadium and the % of seats they claimed at first didn’t match up to the eye test. But that’s just my inexperienced opinion.

That's what I was thinking as well. The entire lower bowl looks uncovered. 

 

And wouldn't this design make the upper bowl the more desired seats?

Sometimes the upper bowl ARE more desired than lower bowl

 

My seats on the 45 lower section of 300s is more expensive than 100 endzone seats 

 

And I still believe football and the elements are hand and hand... I will take 80 and sunny or 32 and flurries 

 

That's Football baby

The 300s are and have always been more expensive than the end zone seats. The only 300s that are cheaper are in the upper corners. They are more expensive because sideline seats are much more desirable. 
 

this may be true in the new stadium as well, however some people need to realize how absolutely far from the field you are going to be in the 500s of the new stadium. Unless your maybe in the first few rows. The 500s are going to feel like the old Auds Orange seats. They’ve already said that the new stadium upper decks will be as high as the Ralph’s lights. 
 

To answer the question, it appears in the sketches that the canopy will not cover any of the lower bowl seats. I do think there will be some cover however from the overhangs of the 200 level. As well as some seats set back a bit and covered by other overhangs. Based on renditions it looks like 5-10 rows maybe in the back end will be covered and heated.
