Description

The Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four, concerts by Taylor Swift, Jay Z and Beyonce — the roster of events past and future at the new U.S. Bank Stadium makes it far more than a home-field advantage for the Minnesota Vikings.But fans who flock there probably don’t know that the stadium, which opened in 2016, was the largest public-private construction project in Minnesota’s history. Nor do they know that Kevin Warren, the Chief Operating Officer of the Minnesota Vikings, led the effort which set important precedent for how major public works projects can be completed both on time and on budget. For Warren, beyond all the headliners, the stadium has proven transformative for the local community, where offices, hotels, apartment buildings, restaurants and retail have all sprung up around the complex — bringing jobs and widespread economic gains. “I try to create opportunities that are one-plus-one-equals-eighty-five,” says Warren, explaining that he believes his role at the Vikings is to act as a “change agent.”In this episode of Access & Opportunity, Carla Harris talks with Warren about the role that the U.S. Bank Stadium project has played in bringing an influx of jobs to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and how the affiliated Viking's Tech Accelerator is committed to giving young entrepreneurs opportunities to learn and grow.The guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.

On the Access and Opportunity podcast, host Carla Harris, a Vice Chairman at Morgan Stanley, asks the question: How can we connect capital with communities that traditionally have been left behind? One way is by talking to the people who are already doing it. Entrepreneurs, investors, developers and activists join Carla, who taps into her 30 years of experience on Wall Street, to explore why investors are unaware of the above-market returns that exist in investing in multicultural- and women-owned businesses, and how to dispel these misconceptions and exploit this market inefficiency. Together, they show what's possible through the people who are making it possible.
