The top of the building would also feature be large torches, similar to the opening flame of the Olympics, but a lot bigger. Then, they could make a big ceremony out of lighting the Viking lanterns before every game, almost like the original Vikings might have done before going into battle.
Also, maybe have the walls - inside and outside, look like they are made of stone, and have big Viking shields and other weapons hanging on them to create the proper atmosphere. |
the only problem with this is that the legislature that passed the funding for the stadium wants it to be a multi-purpose one. not solely for the Vikes. |
Yeah I know we have to deal with the reality of finances. I was kind of just saying what I would like in a perfect world.

There have been NO official plans accepted, or proposed, but HKS's website features these pictures on their link for the project.
