My Favorite Place: US Bank Stadium

Ever since I was born I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan. I have gone through the extreme highs and lows that comes with being a fan. From the Minneapolis Miracle to missing field goals to lose key games; I have lived through it all. As a football fan there is something special about visiting your team's home stadium. US Bank stadium is the new home of the Minnesota Vikings. I was recently graced with the opportunity to visit the stadium to watch a football game in this current NFL season. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The fans, the energy and the beautiful purple color took my breath away. Even though we lost the game, it was a top ten experience in my life. I will never regret visiting.

I lost a lot of pictures form there since I didn't have my icloud back up set. It was unfortunate, but the memories will last a lifetime.

    Oh wow, Alex, inside the stadium it looks like a stadium, but outside: that is a really fabulous design. Just looking at that from the outside, I would have guessed it was some kind of mega-church, not a mega-stadium. Very cool!

    Hey Alex! Wow these pictures are cool! I have to be honest and say I do not watch sports almost at all but the pictures of stadiums always look cool to me. It is so cool that tens of thousands of people all come to cheer on their team. It is really remarkable when you think about it. I have been to a couple Thunder games but that's about all my knowledge of professional sports! haha

Introduction to Alex Lagge A Computer Engineer

Image
Hey everyone my name is Alex Lagge. I am a junior at ou. My major is computer engineering. Why did I choose that major? I find computers to be fascinating and one of the most important pieces of the future. After my undergrad, I want to pursue an MBA and data analysis master. Even though I'm a computer engineer, I am planning on not doing a whole lot in the engineering field and want to go work as a data analyst. That's the boring school stuff about me. My hobbies are all things sports. I wouldn't consider myself a stereotypical sports bro though. Even though I spend a lot of my time reading and watching sports, I like the strategies that go into sports and the data behind decisions. A quick example is how the NBA is going toward more 3's and layups/dunks because from an efficiency stand point they are the best shots to take. The sport I like more than the NBA is football. The NFL is the superior football league compared to college. Many people enjoy college football mo...
