Extreme Makeover: Dome Edition

The solution to the mess with the Vikings' new stadium hit me this weekend. Rather than quibble over public funds and bonding issues or trying to raise private funds, someone should just call up Ty Pennington at Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and have ABC do it.

They can send the team off to Disneyworld for about seven days, tear down the Metrodome, and put up some high tech behemoth in its place. And of course, they'll have to put in some personalized areas in lieu of bedrooms. I'm thinking some sort of Love Boat-themed room (I hear they're fans), a "smoking" den for Onterrio Smith, and naturally a UV-proof retractable roof for any young fans with a rare allergy to sunlight. The team is brought back at the end of the week, Ty moves the bus, and the Vikings see their new stadium. Zygi Wilf weeps. It'll be beautiful.
