I wonder.. if the Vikings do move... will the Viking fans left behind:

A. Remain Viking Fans.
B. Turn to another franchise.
C. Embrace the Green and Gold in their hatred of the abandoning Vikes.


Vikings enlist Jared Allen to help with stadium push
Posted by Mike Florio on April 23, 2010 1:17 PM ET
As the Vikings tried in January 2009 to sell out their first home playoff game in eight years, defensive end Jared Allen shot a video encouraging fans to pony up their Christmas "cashish". (His more recent video was slightly more entertaining.) Now, the Vikings are enlisting Allen to assist with the push for a new stadium.

According to Mike Kaszuba of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Allen has "become something of a poster child" for the effort. He has made at least two appearances at legislative gatherings, signing purple-and-gold footballs -- and hopefully not threatening to break anyone's "f--king neck."

Also, Vikings officials have launched a grass-roots effort aimed at securing a deal for partial public financing. Dubbed "Minnesota Momentum," the Vikings are offering a chance for free game tickets to folks who sign up to be "recruiters" for the cause.

The Vikings hope to push an acceptable plan through the Minnesota legislature during its current session, which ends in May. Absent a new stadium, the Vikings become geographic free agents after the 2011 season.

Hopefully, the powers-that-be in the Twin Cities eventually will realize that this means, absent a new local home, the team could go shopping for a new home in a new town.

if anything i'd picture 'em becoming Bears fans in order to continue their hatred for us. and y'know as much as i hate their team and most of their fans...i really wouldn't want to see them leave when it comes down to it. a good rivalry is healthy and i like the NFC North just the way it is.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I'd be upset a bit if Viking fans like vikesrule and Formo left us.

But I could care less where the Vikings go.

If Minnesota cares about its economy, it should focus on increasing the productivity of its people and its capital stock. Not on something as unimportant as a pro football stadium and having enough luxury boxes.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Oh yes, and before people attack me for attacking hardworking Minnesotans...

I wasn't saying you people are unproductive now. I'm saying that the way to improve an economy -- ANY economy -- lies through increasing productivity.
Not through subsidies and transfer payments.

Thing is.. the legislature refuses to even talk. The Vikings have come up with 3 options that I know of that do NOT require raising taxes. What does the state do? Shit on them. I know I said that I'd cheer exclusively for the Bengals if the Vikes left.. But I'm beginning to feel like I'd follow the Vikings to where ever they go. The state of Minnesota (at least their politics) don't deserve the money the Vikings bring in.

And as far as Florio goes.. Too bad Jared Allen doesn't break his fucking neck. I hate that goddamn tool.
