Whether you are a Vikings fan or not, this stadium will be a multipurpose stadium and we should expect that it be fully accessible and clearly exceed minimum standards. It has often been called the People’s Stadium – let’s make sure it can be used and enjoyed by all the people!!
Help us send a strong message to the stakeholders of this event (The Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority and HKS Sports & Entertainment) by attending this public meeting & signing up for the public comment period.
Some examples of what to ask for:
- A fully accessible and usable stadium that exceeds minimum standards.
- An Accessibility Advisory Committee established to monitor and advise on stadium access issues.
- The same nationally recognized access consultants that the Twins Organization used, hired for this project.
Read more about the outreach by MSCOD’s own Margot Imdieke Cross and our effort to tout the need for an accessible stadium.
