A couple of weeks ago, we highlighted a piece that was put on SI.com about U.S. Bank Stadium and its construction. In that post, I wondered whether or not the massive doors that will serve as the main entrance to the stadium would be subject to the same rules as retractable roofs in the NFL stadiums that have them.
Well, someone who is not me took a moment to do some research on this matter. It turns out that I might have been onto something there after all.
Per David McCoy of WCCO, the National Football League informed the Minnesota Vikings back in May that the massive doors would be governed by the same rules that govern retractable roofs.
