Saw this video today and got me thinking who has the nicer facility? Not including stadiums.
I think the Vikings facility is nicer, but with the location and convenience of the Gopher facility... it is the overall better facility.
I don't really see how the location enters into the equation. Each are placed properly for each set of athletes.
I'll use an example to explain what I mean..if the Vikes would have built their stadium in Arden Hills, there is no doubt they could have made it more luxurious and nicer than U.S Bank stadium just due to no restraint on the property...but U.S Bank stadium is so special because of the way that it fits into the city and surrounding area.
The Viking facility is nicer than the Gopher's but I love the way that the Athletes Village fits into campus and the surrounding area. The Vikings new facility is just kind of there by itself and does not really do much for me in terms of asthetics. Either way, it is awesome that both hometown teams have facilities that are among the nicest in the country!

Gophers much better, not even close. I hear that the Vikings facility doesn't even have a single basketball court. The Gophers have two entire floors of basketball courts.
I bet there aren't any tutors at the Vikings facility too!
