#INGLEWOOD STADIUM DESIGN PRO#
It’s surely a sign of pro football’s impatience with middle-aged buildings that the HKS stadium replaced another design for the Vikings that in its own day was meant to look cutting-edge: the Hubert H. Sometimes this forward motion can feel like a forced march to the tune of a corporate drummer from the NFL’s home office in New York. Designed by HKS Architects and built at a cost of $1.1 billion, among its most dramatic design elements - just to drive the the point home - is a sharply angled exterior wall that the architects call “the prow.” Much like Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, AT&T Stadium in Dallas (2009) and the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona (2006), the Minnesota stadium is a monument to the idea that football, in great contrast to baseball, must always be moving forward.
Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, home of the National Football League’s Vikings, we’ll get an up-close look at how loyal football has remained to a self-consciously futuristic, if often sleekly anodyne, approach to design. When Super Bowl LII kicks off Sunday inside 2-year-old U.S. The architectural nostalgia that poured into nearly every corner of Major League Baseball a generation ago, uncorked by the opening in 1992 of Baltimore’s willfully eccentric and doggedly old-fashioned Camden Yards, did very little to change the look of football stadiums.
