populous vikings stadium proposal

August 30, 2012 Mr. Steven C. Maki, PE Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority 900 South 5th Street Minneapolis, MN 55415 Mr. Don Becker, Project Executive Garden Homes Development 13-15 West 54th Street - First Floor New York, NY 10019 Mr. Don Becker, Project Executive Minnesota Vikings Football, LLC Minnesota Vikings - Winter Park 9520 Vikings Drive Eden Prairie, MN 55344

Dear Steven, Don and Members of the Selection Committee, Exciting yet vitally important days lie ahead as you plan for your Peoples Stadium. As you embark on the process to select your design partner, we believe it is crucial that your architect understands the new NFL, how to place a 65,000 to 72,000 seat venue in the heart of a city; and the impacts this building will have on the downtown and throughout the community. Your architecture and planning team also should be great listeners who will respect and trust all the various participants in this monumental undertaking. We believe we are that team. We are immersed in todays NFL. Our past experience of designing 14 new NFL stadiums (two of which have retractable roofs) and three major NFL expansions has positioned us well to think about the NFL building of the future. Were also currently working with six NFL teams on master plans to modernize and upgrade their facilities, and over the last two years, we have been meeting and listening to NFL officials as they define their future challenges and opportunities. This understanding has helped us to redefine the paradigm of the NFL experience. We are the worlds leading provider of event planning and management services. With our recent success at the London Olympics, coupled with our 29 consecutive Super Bowls, 6 World Cups, 8 Olympic Games, 6 Final Fours and 5 NHL Winter Classics, we have unmatched and world renowned experience with the most incredible events, allowing us to uniquely understand the design decisions that need to be made in order to host these world-class events. We have helped redefine the urban sports experience in the Twin Cities and weve come to know your community. Our portfolio includes award-winning designs for Target Field (Sports Business Journals facility of the Year); TCF Bank Stadium (Finance and Commerces Magazine Top Project of 2009); and Xcel Energy Center (ESPN the Magazine Best Fan Experience). Each building, in its own unique way, has become iconic and beloved by its fans and each is authentic to its place and time.

We have the strongest Minnesota-based team. Populous has partnered with Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc.; the firm with which we delivered Target Field. As an integrated architecture/engineering firm, HGA is known for designing large, enduring, complex projects. In the Twin Cities, HGA is known for its work with Populous on Target Field, the Minnesota History Center, the Minnesota State Capitol, the Pantages and Orpheum Theaters and the Minnesota Public Radio Headquarters. In addition to HGA, we propose other Minnesota-based and national specialty consultants, including firms that meet Targeted Business Group requirements. We are most excited about this project because it offers us the opportunity to create the New NFL Experience. We believe it is time for a great urban NFL stadium . a stadium in the city that infuses the community with purple and gold yet creates incredible street use and fan experiences. Our custom process, unmatched expertise, visionary ideas and desire to design a stadium that is a good steward of public funds will deliver you a transformational building of its place and time. Our promise is to deliver the Peoples Stadium you deserve. Thank you for your consideration. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our ideas for your Peoples Stadium. Sincerely,

Dennis R. Wellner, AIA Senior Principal Populous

Bill Blanski was a valued design colleague and contributor to the design of Target Field with Populous. He worked on the original Master Plan for Target Field and its urban neighborhood. Bill collaborated under the leadership of his Populous design counterparts to create a unique Minnesota expression for Target Field. In 2010, Twins President Dave St. Peter said I want to give a lot of credit to Bill Blanskis design role. So much of what made this ballpark reflect the State of Minnesota came from Bill. He is a highly collaborative designer who works effectively with multiple stakeholder groups. Four years after its completion, Bill is leading design enhancements to Target Field to improve the fan experience with updated, flexible spaces. Bill Blanski has led the design of complex projects with HGA for more than 26 years nationally. His Twin Cities work includes the Minnesota Public Radio Broadcast Center, the Orville L. Freeman Office Building and Laboratory for the Minnesota Departments of Health and Agriculture (a complex, systems-intensive building), and the Medtronic World Headquarters (which features integration of buildings and infrastructure with a beautiful, sustainable landscape). Bill has designed plazas and enduring places of public assembly, including the Weesner Amphitheatre at the Minnesota Zoo, the unbuilt Outdoor Performing Arts Center for the Minnesota Orchestra, and a Town Center Master Plan for Vail, Colorado, that focused on outdoor all-season gathering spaces.

Ed RoEthER consulting After spending 20 years at Populous, Ed Roether formed Ed Roether Consulting LLC to offer consulting services related to the standards applied to the build environment. Over the last 20 years Ed has developed an intimate understanding of these standards that very few people possess. His familiarity with the requirements in the codes and standards for accessibility and life safety, along with construction standards, enable him to provide comprehensive advice throughout the design and construction process continuing on throughout the life of the facility. Few accessibility or life safety consultants have his familiarity with the construction standards and real world experience as a practicing architect and few design/construction consultants have his familiarity with the accessibility and life safety codes and standards.

unitEd spinal association United Spinal Associations mission is to improve the quality of life of all people living with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). United Spinal was founded in 1946 by a determined group of paralyzed WWII veterans in New York City who advocated for greater civil rights and independence for themselves and their fellow veterans. Rejecting the poor treatment they received at their local VA hospital, they decided to form a support group. From these modest beginnings, United Spinal was born. Since then, our core belief has remained unchanged. Despite living with SCI/D, a full, productive, and rewarding life is within the reach of anyone with the strength to believe it and the courage to make it happen.

Today, United Spinal is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to helping people living with SCI/D. We are committed to providing active-lifestyle information, peer support and advocacy that empower individuals to achieve their highest potential in all facets of life

We do not foresee any other projects of the size of the Viking Stadium or similarly demanding, longterm projects that would conflict with any of our employees time availability. We currently have the same capacity available that we provided on the Target Field ballpark for the Twins, and we can commit to that level of attention in this case.
