Gary is now looking for a new home now that the beer garden is being taken down. If anyone wants to take in Gary before winter, I suggest you go up to the NSC and track him down.

My god, my god, why hath thou forsaken me?

I fully get that there are timelines and deadline set for projects and since it was a temporary structure it may have lived past its sell-by date, but this has me making my "WTF NSC?" face. They couldn't put it off a few more weeks?

CONSOLIDATE THE HATE

BRING THE COMPLETE FURY OF THE DRUNK CLOUDS TO THE EAST STANDS WHERE WE CAN TRULY RAIN ANGER DOWN UPON MONTREAL AND THE OTHER MONTREAL-LIKE TEAMS OF NASL.

Just in case we haven't all seen the press release, here it is: http://www.nscminnesota.com/2011/09/stars-issue-statement-about-future-of-nsc-stadium-beer-garden/

Now, I think there can only be one solution. Put a keg in the east stands. PROBLEM SOLVED.

And make sure it's good beer.

A keg of MGD Light would add insult to injury.

I wonder what the construction of this 20,000 s.f. expansion building means for the north gate. I can't help but feel that it is the NSC's goal to make it as hard as possible for fans to get into the stadium. What [would have been] really cool is if the expansion project included a proper box office and gate at the north end. I'm assuming that the "indoor sports and exhibit hall facility" includes no such amenities.

Moving the beer garden west could be considered a positive given the difficulty in traversing between the current locale and the west side stands.

It does strike me as a bit odd that they are expanding the Schwan's Center into the stadium ground. Is NSC a stadium or an exhibition hall? Should we start calling it the National Schwan Center? Is Nessie being replaced by a swan? Should the Dark Clouds be renamed the Exhibitionists?

IF THE BEER GARDEN IS GONE, WHAT HAPPENED TO BURGER KID?

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BURGERS?

OH JESUS CHRIST PLEASE TELL ME MY BURGERS ARE OK.
