Vikings Stadium Deal Losing Urgency At State Capitol

The Minnesota Vikings this week are losing one of the weapons they've wielded to get action on a new stadium: the perception that it needs to get done now or else. If the Vikings are going to relocate for the 2012 season, they must tell NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell by Wednesday. After that, the team is locked into playing in Minnesota for another year even though it no longer has a Metrodome lease. "The Vikings have tried to create the impression, through somewhat subtle threats, that they could move," said Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley. "But ... I think there's a growing realization that the Vikings have nowhere to go." Even Gov. Mark Dayton, the stadium's single biggest booster at the Capitol, is conceding it may have to wait. "If we don't get it this year, and I hope and believe we will, we'll get it next legislative session," he said last week.

Screw Zygi Wilf. Your on-field product sucks, you have no long-term plan, and while I'm at it, Fuck LA.

so, the minnesota government isn't going to do anything because they feel the vikings actually want to stay in minnesota?

huh? wtf? it's really beginning to sound to me like whoever the vikings have put in charge of this stadium project has done a piss poor job of building the rapport and good will between the parties. I understand the government/taxpayers not wanting to be held hostage by yet another professional sports team but this whole process of the vikings stadium has literally been going on for YEARS and should have gotten done by now.
