Supposed to hear something this afternoon. Looks like Zygi is going to go with Ramsey County and not with the Minneapolis option.

Same old, same old.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6521457The Vikings would pay $407 million of construction costs, or 39 percent, while Ramsey County would pay $350 million, which is 33 percent. But the necessary third leg of the funding, a proposed $300 million from the state of Minnesota plus an additional $100 million in transportation improvements to the area, was in question after a key state lawmaker called that total tab a "non-starter."
Sen. Julie Rosen, the chief Senate sponsor of the bill, said there was no way she could get colleagues in the Legislature to support a state commitment higher than $300 million. She also pointed out state estimates released earlier Tuesday pegged the transportation upgrades to cost at least $175 million.

What happens to the ticket prices in the new stadium. It costs $260 now for a couple of tickets before you pay for parking and food, etc.. I am afraid it will price many fans out of the market when the stadium is built.

Of course it will,but someone else will buy that same pair of tickets for $400. Everyone knows this and that's why billion dollar stadiums exist in our world. Sorry, you just don't get to play any more. Get a bigger TV, because that's the only way you'll be watching Vikings games from now on.jovs wrote:What happens to the ticket prices in the new stadium.

As to the stadium being built and the Vikings staying. I will believe it only when they make that first kickoff in the new stadium. Until then, it's all just talk.

i dont think building a new stadium for the vikings is a top priority. 
but it makes alot of economic sense in the long run.

It's hard to look at the long term when the short term is so bleak, financially speaking. People are having serious discussions about cutting down things like medicare ... it's hard to justify $300-$400 million on an entertainment venue. Regardless of that, it's still shortsighted not to pull the trigger and get it done. In the long run it's good for the state.
