Today, most of the Stadiums have company names. I like creative names like Mile High Stadium (doesn't exist anymore), Lambeau Field, Candlestick Park, and Arrowhead Stadium. Some possible candidates for the naming rights are Medtronic, Land O lakes, Xcel Energy, and Best Buy. I think the best idea would be naming the new stadium in honor of Max Winter, like they did with Winter Park. Call it something like Winter Field, and make it outdoors. A roof for the new stadium would cost about $200 million, plus $6 million more to maintain each year than an outdoor stadium. The Metrodome generated about $1.6 million in revenue in 2009 from non NFL events. If that's how much revenue non NFL events generate each year, it would take over 100 years for the roof to pay for itself. Build an outdoor stadium, one that Minnesota will be proud of for years to come.
