Should have been putting some if not all aside from the beginning. Should have got Vikings involved in prizes, signed jerseys, balls, tickets, hey maybe even grand prize season tickets! Instead they just throw out another ticket with the Vikings name. Could have been getting some funds all along in various ways. Frustrating. :wallbang:

I still want to know where all the money funding MSFC has gone. Dome was paid off early. I know they own Target Center now too. Were those taxes ever retired or where the hell did that money go? If they'd have been saving that money, they'd have a nice chunk at this point.

The Target Center alone makes ridiculous amounts of money for the state every year. I don't know why the other stadiums money can't be used to help pay off their own debt as well as fund some of the Vikings stadium...

Vikings focus on stadium deal with Ramsey county
Negotiations could begin as early as next week about a former arsenal site in Arden Hills, but it's still early in the dance.

For the first time Tuesday, the Ramsey County Commission is expected to take a position on a new Vikings football stadium, authorizing the county manager to negotiate with the NFL team and develop a plan for a proposed site in Arden Hills.

He has a point. Its not like the Vikings doesnt make WIlf a lot more money than it makes the average citizen who is being asked to pay for some of his teams stadium. Dont blame him one bit.
