A Vikings' stadium-glass solution

Kill the suite bathrooms and buy good glass

August 1, 2014 at 1:10AM

The football stadium under construction for the Minnesota Vikings, the stadium with the bird-deadly glass, will have 116 private suites. Surely, each suite will have its own bathroom.

What will each bathroom cost? I estimate $10,000 each, minimum, with nice tile and executive-class fixtures, cushioned seats maybe.

OK, multiply that times 116 and you have $1.16 million dollars, almost EXACTLY the cost of glass that is bird-friendly, glass that would save thousands and thousands of bird lives in years to come.

Let the suite owners and their guests use the public bathrooms like the rest of us. Hey, I'd even let them go to the head of the line.
