Vikings Message Board.Com

I think they waited the appropriate amount of time to start strongarm-ing like this. I also think Dayton should call the special session with or without the votes. I'm not a Minnesotan (just born there :) ), but I want the legislators responsible for the fate of the Vikings on record so they can be...

It isnt worth reading the comments. The only reason people post them is to piss people off. Thats it. I doubt they even believe them.

I usually not optimistic about anything. But I think the State will cave at the last possible second. I'm talking about a few days before the lease expires. Until then they'll probably just play hardball trying to either A) get Wilf to throw up more money or B) come up with a plan to build at the M...

Honestly, I wonder how much this matters. It seems that those who oppose the issue could care less about the Vikings record. And those that are for it I can't imagine would be so turned off by this one season that they'd oppose a new stadium that would keep the Vikings around for the foreseeable fu...

Its all up to Dayton really. He can call a special session right? He can push for the ramsey co. sales tax. Although if it passes theres a ton of pissed off old people that will hunt him down. But really, how much of a sales tax could there be? Maybe if even a liittle one couldnt the NFL and Wilfs t...

Its called being rich and famous.

K. Well if not directed towards me, I apologise. And Im not so sure the governors talk isnt just lip service. And that has nothing to do with party lines, just him being a politician. He might say he is committed, but I dont see his actions backing that up. He is tip toeing. As they all are. He wan...

This, IMO, is classic politics. Politicians are elected to do what they feel is best for their voting public. Very rarely, if ever, will a public vote for a tax increase, pass. This situation is precisely why elected officials are needed, to make the tough decisions. No one in Minnesota govt, wants...

There was a story in this thread where he did "a thing". He's also said he'd call a session. Has been in touch with both sides.

Pawlenty was here 8 years, and did less in eight YEARS than Dayton's did in 4 months.

I dont recall Pawlenty saying he would.

Didnt Dayton say he would do everything possible to get the Vikes a stadium? In one of the debates with the Rep guy, I forget his name. I dont think Dayton has don a thing. I know times are tough but we are talking about history!

Ahhh too many quotes. Can never figure out how to bypass that or only pick ta few quotes.

Anyways, my opinion is, im sue she was drunk.

A hit and run is a bit different than cheering for the Vikings. Claiming one is "sure" of something that they actually have no idea of isnt really similiar to what I usually ramble on about. I never claim to "know" anything, just have an opinion. My opions is, im sure she was dr...

Im sure she was drunk....thats why they waited.

Wow

I really cant believe that this state and Dayton cant get this through. Anyone should know the value of the Vikings. Can you imagine this happening to the Packers? Never. Politics makes me want to puke. Just tax the area and get it done with already. The Wilfs are starting to tick me off too. On a l...
