Green spent 10 seasons in Minnesota, leading the Vikings to eight playoff appearances and two NFC championship games. He only had one losing season and compiled an overall record of 97-62, including a 15-1 regular season in 1998 spearheaded by a record-setting offense. His three-year run with the Cardinals was less successful, but Arizona President Michael Bidwell said Green would be remembered as a true innovator, leader and pioneer among coaches.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Vikings opened their new $1.1 billion stadium with a bang on Friday.
The Vikings held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new indoor stadium, and fireworks were shot off after Gov. Mark Dayton did the honors. It was the culmination of 31 months of construction that forced the Vikings to play for two seasons at the University of Minnesota’s stadium across town.
The stadium’s biggest features are a translucent roof that allows natural light and a gigantic wall of glass on the west side of the building that looks out over downtown Minneapolis. The wall includes the largest pivoting doors in the world. They are 100 feet tall and can open on warm weather days.
The Vikings will hold an open house for fans on Saturday and Sunday.
