This is great! I feel it is so important to keep the momentum going
on this important issue.

Here is a list of the Vikings Owners. Zygi Wilf is the chief. The
guy in charge of the stadium is Lester Bagley. I would HIGHLY
suggest Audubon Minnesota or even better, National Audubon and
perhaps several other agencies (Nature Conservancy, Isaac Walton
League, etc.) write a letter or try to contact them directly. If
then they can get the media involved, I would bet that it might push
them over the edge to do something. I would even try contacting
Governor Dayton's office, since he is a big proponent of the
stadium. The last thing either the Vikes or Politicians will want is
photos circulating after the stadium is complete, of birds lying
dead around their new stadium.
Here is their web site: webs...@vikings.nfl.net

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.)
