Stephen & MOU List:
There has been a lot in the paper lately about the Vikings Stadium and
their bad choice of glass making the windows a deadly hazard for
birds. I have sent information to friends to sign the Audubon
petition, put information on my Facebook page and written on the
Vikings Stadium Facebook page.
I would love to do more to pressure the right people. Is there a good
email or site to write to the Mayor and the Governor? How about the
Vikings owners? Should the MOU group do something as a group?
Thank you.

The design for the new Vikings stadium includes massive windows facing
towards the river. National Audubon and other groups had requested
that they
use glass that greatly reduces bird collisions, but last week the
Vikings
and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) rejected the
recommendation. Though they have the right to choose this design, it
seems
irresponsible to ignore available materials that will reduce the
impact on
wildlife.
The following link makes it easy to send an e-mail to the owners to
request
or demand that they change course. (I'll also try to find mailing
addresses
so the mayor and governor can be copied.)
