state + local

Can't be happier then I will be when I watch the Vikes on opening Sunday in their new stadium ! To many games in that terrible warehouse known as the humpty dump.

Any updates as to when the House vote will be?

50 million from these clowns is chump change and a slap in the face. it must be rough to be rich AND get welfare. No sympathy here! What other business gets state money and doesn't have to follow the rules of the game? wait, aren't Monopolies against the law?

I agree, I catch one road game a year and man it is depressing when you look at our dome compared to Soldiers Field, RFK, LP in Nashville, Browns Stadium. Glad to see Ziggy step up. This will provide a lot of jobs for construction workers. I'm glad it is looking so good.

All right, Wilfs...you're getting your palace...now how about putting a winning squad on the field?

Sounds like they finally put in a good and fair backup plan should revenues fall short. That coulda been done a long time ago.

neptune-- they're paying $477 million, not $50 million. They are paying half a billion dollars for a building they will get a few days a year and the state will get the other 95% of the time. Sounds pretty fair to me.

Finally, what a great moment.

YES!! Very close and it's looking like this is really going to happen. Glad to see the Vikes stay in MN. I'm even more glad we made this deal better for MN in the process. Great job by them on working that out! Now we don't lose a legacy. Also the team can play at the current salary cap rather than below it and sign some big players. The coming years should be pretty bright for the Vikes. Now lets just hope the funding all pans out and the projections are accurate.

Cant we be happy for just once?
