Flip this Dome!

   He hasn't brought Ron Rosenbaum on for quite a while now, so I'm
   settling in pretty well with Chris Baker on KTLK-FM in the mornings.
   He had a good one this morning regarding the latest Viking stadium
   concept, to reuse the foundation of the Metrodome and save $100
   million.
   Get those guys from "Flip This House!" on HGTV to come here and do
   something with the Metrodome. Actually, it could work.
   What if we had a competition where ordinary people could submit a
   remodeling plan for the Dome. With the Twins leaving, it can now be
   configured full time for football, no more pull-out seating. In fact,
   as [1]Andy notes, replace all of that awful seating!
   Charge maybe $100-250 per entry, for which you get a full tour, even
   the heating plant, and the some of existing design drawings to get you
   started. Winner gets a VIP box and lifetime season tickets.
   Why not? The professionals are getting anywhere on this.
