Minnesota lawmaker floats unique idea for Vikings stadium situation
Posted by Mike Florio on February 11, 2010 10:17 PM ET
With no new public money available to fund a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings, a legislator has proposed an intriguing new possibility.

The state can sell the Metrodome to the team. For $1.

"Let's give it to the Vikings and let them do what they want with it," Representative Paul Kohls said in a statement, per the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "The stadium has long been paid for."

Kohls said that he's opposed to using taxpayer money on a new stadium.

The team's lease at the Metrodome expires after the 2011 season. It's unknown whether the team would be interested in assuming ownership of the 28-year-old venue.




What A slap in the face. I remember when the Brew Crew wanted out of County Stadium and Racine county got taxed, the uproar - recalled elections etc. In the end it was a good move. I've never been to a game there yet due to the fact that I moved N.J. right before it opened.

I understand the state's standpoint the fair weather Queens can't sell out most games,(unless they have recycled Packers on their team), they don't need it. Maybe if Old Man Waffle deems them worthy of his grace earlier this year they might change their mind. Otherwise hello L.A.

Oh, by the way the Queen dome is the only thing they have older than the choke master himself.

LOL!
I have to admit......I'd miss the Queens if they left. WHO would replace them?
I mean....it's true, we still have the Lions that have never won a Super Bowl, but it's LOTS more fun to laugh at the Queens every time they foul up!

as much as i support the opinion of this thread, it has become much more likely that the jaguars end up in L.A.

However, if the vikes end up in LA, then the Jags end up in london, and the bills end up in toronto.

Next couple years in the NFL is gonna bring some big changes

Mike Florio and PFT can go choke on an enlarged penis. I hate that site so damn much.

I'll have to go searching, but I remember last year or the year before the Vikings were offered to buy the stadium for an extremely cheap price (same $$$ range as the $1 mentioned in the PFT article) and the Vikings turned it down. Wilf doesn't want an indoor stadium.. The state does. The reason the proposed stadium was so much was to scare the state from wanting a roofed stadium. Wilf wants something like the new Giants stadium. He's like Bud Grant in the mindset that playing outdoors in the cold gives the team an advantage during the cold games.

If the Vikings leave for LA.. I predict the state will quickly realize it's tax hog was the Vikings (owners/players taxes, visiting fans $$, etc.) and will fight to get another team.. and the Jags move up here to Minny. Again, that's just a prediction on my part.

No way the Queens could sell out a stadium that big for an entire season on a consistant basis, i.e. last years playoffs.

I'm curious. Why do you hate Florio and PFT.

I don't pay as much as I used to. It's sort of like ESPN: Back in the days when Australian rules football played a significant role in ESPN programming I used to like it; now, it's just more corporatized hype machine/fluff/non-investigative investigative reporting/suck-up-to-the-stars crapola.

I used to like Florio. Okay, he's a lawyer (no one's perfect). But he worked hard and established a niche as the leading "rumors" site, and clearly it was a labor of love.

But, like ESPN, it hasn't scaled well. First was the expansion to more and more "reporters/bloggers/videos". Now he's joined "NBC". He's still got a little more edge, but he definitely may be on the way to Keith Olbermann-ville. I don't hate him, but I am a bit sad as to what he has become.
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.
