The New Vikings' Stadium Is Hot Like Fire

HOW HOT IS IT!?

I'm glad you asked! It's soooooooooooooo hot, that there was an actual, honest-to-goodness fire at the construction site today, according to WCCO.

A plume of smoke could be seen late Friday morning at the site.

The construction firm working on project confirmed there had been fire, which workers extinguished immediately.

The workers were welding metal decks and sparks fell onto nearby insulation material, said a representative from Mortenson.

Apparently the blaze didn't come from construction workers furiously texting "#VoteDozier" on their phones before today's MLB All-Star voting deadline.
