On a recent trip to the westernmost of the Twin Cities (no, not Houghton-Hancock), we observed panels being repaired or replaced on the Vikings new stadium Black Rock Edifice. They were in a hurry because the big events were soon coming to town (U2 had a show coming up).

They had under performed or perhaps failed under stress conditions over the past year. Perhaps colliding birds had caused more damage than expected when they rebounded off the glass/sky. Or just evidence that the original plan needed some tweaks to ultimately succeed.

The Vikings are without Diggs, Cook and Bradford. They have replaced them Keenum, What and I Don't Know.

Vikings fans think the team, like the stadium, is in the latter category, needing some tweaks and healthier parts. We know they in their natural failure seeking entropy mode.
