[Vikings News] NFL Could Block Vikings Stay At TCF Bank Stadium

why would it need to be 3 seasons? that basically means it's going to take 3 and a half years to build the new stadium considering they'll have an off-season to add to the build time as well.

I thought these stadiums could go up quicker than this.

So pretty much block the Vikings from building a new stadium and then they leave Minnesota for LA? Good idea?

Good Idea for the NFL maybe, bad idea for the people of Minne. Why would it take 3 years to build a stadium, it usually takes 1

I've never heard of a whole new stadium being built in one year...

one year would be amazingly fast but 3.5 years would be amazingly slow. i don't see why they would need to play in a different stadium for more than 1 season.......... 2 seasons at the most.

1.5 Years if you count the offseason, thats how long it took to build the stadium down here for the Zips I believe. Its a brand new stadium

Vikings have sold out every game for 14 consecutive seasons. I believe the Vikes moving to LA leaves Minneapolis as the largest market without a team. So you tell me, good idea?

Great work by the state though, essentially forcing them into building on the metrodump location

New Dallas Cowboy Stadium - Broke ground on September 20, 2005. Completed on May 27, 2009, granted I don't think the New Metrodome is going to be another "Jerry's World" but still.

well, maybe 3.5 years is about right then .............. just doesn't seem like it should take that long.
