After watching Sunday Night Football, I was blown away by the brand new U.S. Bank Stadium the Vikings call home. Everything about this facility looked awesome on TV. There’s a huge screen at the back of the end zone and a glass roof were two of my favorite features. Having a dome that still has natural sunlight because of the glass roof is top-notch in my eyes. Vikings offensive linemen Alex Boone likes the stadium as well but there are a few kinks he’d like to get worked out sooner than later. Boone thinks the stadium is too loud and wants his team’s fans to simmer down a bit, at least while the Vikings are on offense.
“It’s hard in the stadium. It’s louder for some reason in the stadium. I mean there’s a lot of times we can’t hear the center. We could barely hear the snap count today a of couple times, could false starts cause guys didn’t know when the snap was going you know. It’s not… I’m not saying it’s the fans fault, but I’m just saying that you know it would be nice if they just shut the f*** up a little bit. How about that? I mean it was great and they were you know when the defense was up it was phenomenal. When the offense is up shut up. Just shut up. I can’t say it any simpler than that. You know what I mean? They’re starting to screw us a little bit.”
