A chance to hate, you say?
Don’t hear much from the nutty greens about energy usage and the Super Bowl?
“U.S. Bank Stadium will use 92 kBTU/SF because of the venue’s advanced air handling units”
That is close to one therm of natural gas per sq/ft.
(For one year? Not stated http://www.vikings.com/news/new-stadium/article-1/—US-Bank-Stadium-Green-Initiatives-Important-from-Start/4fe06664-11af-4b12-8a6b-ffc9752db157 )
My January usage for ~3,000 sq/ft was 156 therms.
Also not clear if that includes the snow melter for the roof? HUGE.
And all the air miles and...
Yep I wonder about the roof. Remember how the roof collapsed at the Metrodome some years back? I hope their melting mechanism works better than back in those days.
Yep, the carbon footprint of this game is enormous.
