Tell Minnesota Vikings: Don’t Kill Birds


Tell Minnesota Vikings: Don’t Kill Birds
The Issue
The Minnesota Vikings should focus on swatting down passes – NOT BIRDS!
Their new stadium could kill thousands of migratory birds unless the stadium’s builders take immediate action to incorporate bird-safe measures.
At issue is the type of glass being used in the largely-glass exterior of the massive new stadium. Current plans call for a type of glass that birds are less likely to see, which will invite deadly collisions.
Over 85,000 people have joined with Audubon to pressure the Vikings to do the right thing. Join them and urge the Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) to use safer glass.
The cost of using bird friendly glass is less than one tenth of one percent of the overall cost of the new billion dollar stadium. The site of the stadium is less than a mile from the Mississippi River, along which tens of millions of birds fly between their breeding and wintering grounds every year.
Unless the Vikings and the MSFA reverse course, the new stadium could become a serious threat to America’s birds.
Please act today to urge the stadium’s builders to make the right choice — use safer glass!
