Title	Metrodome Interview No. 03 - Kelly Gage
Interviewee	Gage, Kelly
Description	This oral history project was made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Cultural Heritage Grants Program—part of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. The project, Documenting Minnesota, focuses on themes of environmentalism, activism, and protest during the 1970s. The interviews in this collection cover two specific topics: protests of the planning and construction of a downtown Minneapolis stadium, the Metrodome, from 1972 to 1979; and, celebration of the 1976 American Bicentennial—specifically celebrations in Fertile and Duluth, Minnesota and leadership of the Minnesota American Revolution Bicentennial Commission (MARBC).
Abstract	Kelly Gage is a retired lawyer from Mankato, Minnesota and served in the Minnesota Legislature as a senator for Blue Earth County (1967-72). Mr. Gage was appointed to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission in 1977. This interview discusses his involvement in the MSFC and the decision to build the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
