Preliminary Design Concepts for U.S. Bank Stadium Plaza Security Forecast Public Art has been hired to develop a creative perimeter plan for U.S. Bank Stadium to bring the plazas surrounding the building up to current security standards. In late August, five diverse teams of architects, artists and designers participated in a “design charrette,” a half-day session where they focused on innovative and creative solutions for an effective, secure, permanent, attractive and people-friendly perimeter. Request: Conversation and feedback on how the community views the current perimeter of the U.S. Bank Stadium wishes for the future project. |
