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.

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. Susan Gilmore On Jul 23, 2014, at 9:22 PM, Stephen Greenfield wrote: The design for the new Vikings stadium includes massive windows facingtowards the river. National Audubon and other groups had requestedthat they use glass that greatly reduces bird collisions, but lastweek the Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA)rejected the recommendation. Though they have the right to choose thisdesign, it seems irresponsible to ignore available materials that willreduce the impact on wildlife. The following link makes it easy to send an e-mail to the owners torequest or demand that they change course.
