U.S. Bank Stadium Receives Rave Review

When national media descended upon Minnesota last week for a behind-the-scenes look at the construction of U.S. Bank Stadium, they got a look at what some are calling the most iconic stadium in the country. Busted Coverage's founder Joe Kinsey appears to agree.

Kinsey first noted that U.S. Bank Stadium will be worth every penny of the $1.1 billion investment going into the project for the city of Minneapolis and every fan that walks through the five glass operable doors – the largest of its kind in the world.

Among the things he was fixated on during his tour of the stadium was the Club Purple lounge located in the stadium's northwest corner. Featuring a seating area that will have club couches rather than normal stadium seats, Kinsey believes the space will attract celebrities that take in Vikings game given its unique set up.

"I'm calling it now, this scene will be a favorite for FOX, CBS, ESPN and NFL Network cameras," Kinsey said. You'll buy a Club Purple lounge couch to be seen."
