Ummm...you sure about that? At one point there was a picture of it (while still under construction) posted to his website, as I recall.

Th egg building....is that what you are talking about?

Is this what you are talking about? I heard many rumors regarding this....One thing I heard it was going to be a food shelter or something. Who knows.... I don't believe it is used for anything. I think it looks like hell....it takes away from the Park. JMO

Who knows WHAT he has going on in this thing. If I remember correctly, it has several sub-basements as well - I think it was called "The Egg" or something like that.

The purposes stated in the planning application indicated it was going to be used to provide food - possibly (at least partly) as a refectory arrangement for the community of workers / visitors at Paisley Park studios (which is something he mentioned around that time).

I don't.

prime said:

yes he compleated the egg but i would not have called that a stadium

I'm confused.
Is the stadium and the egg the same structure you're referring to, or are they two totally different things we're talking about?


...And which came first, the stadium or the egg?

( @ corny joke)

I never heard about any stadium.

The missile silo pictured above went online a few years back. Larry Graham and Tony M both have to turn their keys in unison to launch the Class-XI Nuclear tipped device. The payload of all of the Vault material is to be destroyed on Princes orders.

Of course I can't say with any certainty, but I'm sure someone with more intimate details into the inner-workings of The Purple One's affairs will shoot through with the definitive answer.

The first and last I saw of "The Egg" project, was when it was still being constructed. The concrete had been poured for the substructure, and the walls had just begun to rise from ground level. From what I saw of that pre-construction, it looked like it would turn out like the structure I see in the pictures above.
