The task of relocating the Vikings trophies definitely sounds daunting.

I heard the troubles were due to misplacing their trophies in Kansas City, Miami, Pittsburgh, and Oakland. Efforts to coordinate the shipping of all four back to Minnesota have been stalled for one reason or another.

Minneapolis Lakers, you mean.

Bozz is right about the history of that team.

I'm obviously all for the state keeping the Vikings name, logo, colors, records, etc as owned by the state.

And the information I last heard about the public funds for this bill was as follows:

The public funds would come from 3 sources:
1) % tax on all team memorabilia sold in the state.
2) % tax on all Minnesota Vikings players' checks/bonuses.
3) % tax on state lottery.

The big kicker was the majority of the public funds would obviously come from the players' salaries/bonuses (not sure how that was worded). In this instance of using public funds to help pay for a stadium, I'm all for it. And they can do whatever the hell they want with the roof/no roof/retractable roof deal (even though I'm staunchly against a roof).

But, that information was what I heard/read about 2-3 weeks ago, so I could be just rehashing old news.

...stick my genitals in a bees nest.
...drink a gallon of turpentine and then piss on a forest fire.

...ride a donkey naked through the desert with snapping turtles attached to my balls.
...be tied to a chair and forced to listen to Barry Manilow tunes while having my tonsils removed with a rusty spoon.

No chance? It's in the legislature as we speak, sparky. It's too early to say one way or another how it's gonna fair. Unless, of course, you are talking about the MN legislature. In that case, no matter the proposal it has no chance in hell.

I read somewhere that if they would have put the issue to a referrendum, that it would have failed miserably. So much for the myth of great Viking fan support and pride. Minnesotans are taxed at a very high rate, top ten in the country every year. Your state and local tax burden in 2009 was at 38.8%, 2nd highest in the nation, and those jackasses you elect want to increase that so the Vikings can play 8 games a year? I don't see it happening Formo, but start singing some Bon Jovi - Livin on Prayer.

In this difficult economic climate it would make more sense to expand U Minn field from the nearly 51,000 it currently holds to the 80,000 it can hold  instead of repairing the worthless Dumpty Dome or building a field soley for Vikings. And yes I know NFL teams like thousands of luxury boxes in order to stuff more into their pockets. But if they are not going to build the stadium their selves they need to take what is given to them.
