Vikings Owners Told New Stadium Will Have To Be On Metrodome Site

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton told the owners of the Vikings on Monday that the team's new stadium will have to be at the Metrodome site if a stadium bill is to pass the Legislature this year, and the team is not happy according to Doug Belden of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. "We were told by the governor's office that the Linden Avenue site is not viable at least in the short run," said team vice president Lester Bagley. "Vikings ownership is extremely frustrated with the situation." He declined to say what if anything the team intends to do about its displeasure. The Vikings' lease at the Metrodome expires Feb. 1, and team owners are asking for public money to replace a 30-year-old facility they say is no longer profitable enough compared with other NFL facilities. Fans fear that no new stadium could drive the team to another city.

Yelp....the state of Minnesota is broke and can't afford a new stadium. Not sure where the money will come from unless some big corporation funds all of it.
