The Minnesota Legislature ends its 2011 session on Monday, and with a $1.8 billion gap when it comes to curing a $5 billion budget deficit, the issue of getting a new stadium for the Vikings remains on the back burner.
With the budget still unresolved, both problems are destined for a special session, according to the Associated Press.
Governor Mark Dayton has the ability to call the legislators back for a special session, and the legislators can stay as long as they want.
So, basically, the question of whether -- and where -- the Vikings will be getting a new stadium in Minnesota will continue to linger, just like the lockout.
