I watched the HHH Metrodome being built in the early eighties as I went to church every Sunday across the street from the dome. I remember thinking that it would be the hom for Vikings for at least 50 years. It was built for $65 million dollars on time and under budget
The Metrodome went up in mid 70s. Its roof collapsed twice in the late 70s, while I was in college in Northfield. As expected when you count on hot air and the name of a liberal icon to hold anything up.
