SF451 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))

U.S. Bank Stadium glass retrofitting for bird safety appropriation

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes to allocate $1.5 million in 2026 from the state's general fund to modify the glass on U.S. Bank Stadium, where the Minnesota Vikings play, to prevent birds from colliding with it. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority will oversee the retrofitting process, which will involve applying specific products to the glass as recommended by a 2019 bird safety study and consulting with bird conservation experts. The project must be completed by the middle of 2026, and the funding is a one-time provision.
