As the Cowboys have shown, a lot of events besides football games can be held in a covered-roof facility.

Precisely what event can be held in your new 65,000 seat covered stadium that can't be held in your CURRENT 63,000 seat covered stadium, Sid?

Convince Green Bay, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, New England, and Philadelphia to cover their stadiums, Sid. They are REAL football teams that play REAL football the way it was meant to be played ... outdoors. The dome or Target Center can be used to host Justin Bieber concerts.

Same BS, different day.

Metrodome looked swell tonight. No new stadium needed.

Drudgemonkey: Try sitting in an open air concert(U2?)in Jan.,-24 degrees.Maybe this is something that appeals to you, but for the other million or so of us..

johntay, ummm, I made two comments in support of the current domed stadium. What does that have to do with an open-air U2 concert in January?

Let's get this stadium issue resolved! Building it in Arden Hills, which will create a tax generating business district, offer sufficient parking, and clean up a plighted area is the best place!

I'm not sure the Twolves letting Garnett go is equivalent to the Twins letting Kubel go Sid.......lol

Sid - Show me the money. Could you please support your advoxacy for a stadium with numbers that justify the taxpayer costs?

Sid, don't you know that Paul McCartney is dead? Didn't you play the record backwards?
