Welcome to the club, Adrian Peterson - mind the beer and nachos

Welcome to the club, Adrian Peterson - mind the beer and nachos

The new home of the Minnesota Vikings was unveiled Sunday night – the US Bank Stadium, it's called, and already it's being hailed for something other than state-of-the-art design at public expense.

When Adrian Peterson was helped off the field with a knee injury, his route took him through the Delta Sky360 Club, one of the stadium's club districts located between the Vikings' locker room and field level, including a patio behind the team's sideline bench.

With new and redesigned stadiums adding these kind of features to "improve" – read monetize – the well-heeled fan's experience, these sort of moments may well become more norm than exception. Unless someone figures out either an alternate route to the infirmary, or realizes that maybe something like a torn ACL isn't the most appetizing a la carte option alongside those overpriced beers and nachos.
