gbpfan1231 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Gophers stadium has no roof. New stadium will. That will help. I am just curious because Lambeau does not get much use - they have shops inside and it is busy in there but no way near the extent you are talking.

The Twin Cities is much larger, is cosmopolitan, is a banking center for a region rich in grain, ore, and lumber products, has a number of colleges and universities, an extraodinarily educated populace, is a regional air hub, and has a populace that has a fairly high degree of disposable income. Still, you are correct in thinking most conferences, car shows, boat shows, home and garden shows and concerts would likely select one of the many fine smaller venues.

We have a hugh convention center that has a lock on all the shows you've mentioned and two 20,000 seater stadia for concerts, plus a bunch of smaller arenas. Again though, even if the new stadium was only used 20 times a year, it would still preserve a fundamental plank that keeps us in the major leagues (pardon the pun) even though we are all those other things you mentioned. We don't want to be Omaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that Minnesotans are smarter than people in Wisconsin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 So you're saying that Minnesotans are smarter than people in Wisconsin? No where did I say, or even intimate that. Perhaps you are not among the sharpest in a relatively sharp populace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 We don't want to be Omaha. I've lived in both. Omaha is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've lived in both. Omaha is better. I've only visited Omaha a handfill of times back in the 80's when my sister went to Creighton Universitiy. It seemed like a nice place. I much prefered the twin cities, but Omaha was nice.
