Well, if Chicago and Green Bay can handle the cold, why can’t the Minnesota fans, you know, with all the Scandinavian blood? And no, on average, it is not any colder, at least not in comparison to Green Bay.

I would. You cold weather sissies need to head south and leave the tailgating, snowmobiling, skiing/boarding, snowshoeing, and ice fishing for the real men.

Really, hump around in the cold in Afghanistan and tell me you like the cold when you get home….

Hope the Vikes fold, they are a joke. Please go away and take new or used field with you…

Wow, what a pathetic comment. I hope you fold……forever.

Sadly, the Vikings don’t have the balls to build an outdoor stadium like the old Bud Grant days

Who would go watch them? The only time I am outside when its cold is for cold weather training or giving some furry critter high speed lead poisoning. Ill watch my football on climate controlled comfort thank you very much.

Stadiums belong in the city. Look at Philly and Pitt. Wish the Pats played in the city. The Krafts tried but the pols lied and blew the whole thing so they returned to the land they owned.

I would prefer to have the new stadium in a more rural setting but either way I’m just happy to keep them here. I really can’t imagine the vikes anywhere but MN.

not “if” but “when”.

You hear that you California nutjobs? You won’t be getting our Vikings. You will have to find a way to live with the other 15 pro franchises in your state.

So sad. You had your chance with the raiders and the rams and you blew both opportunities. Nobody outside of California feels bad for you.

Enjoy your Clippers, CP3 will be gone in 2 years.

No chance the Vikes use their 1st rounder on a QB. Not RGIII, not even Luck (if they could). No chance, zero, zip, nada.

Anyone who says otherwise simply doesn’t understand the game.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST Place they can put it is in downtown Minneapolis!!!!!!!!! There is no place to tailgate, what a huge mistake if it is done. Arden Hills is the best place! Get away from that city!

Wow. That’s great news.

Based on everything I’ve heard, I thought the Vikings were moving to L.A.

The Vikings don’t need to worry about putting butts in seats. They’ve sold out every game for 13 years straight. They need to worry about keeping them there. Winning will do that. A QB on his back or hurt will not do that. So getting the OL fixed is paramount. Or getting a stud WR who can score points along with Percy would also help.

“It’ll be important to move quickly, especially since the Vikings currently are fair game to be wooed by other cities.”
—————————————–
So, we’ve had about a year’s worth of stories saying that the Vikings are likely leaving Minnesota for L.A., to now being “far game to be wooed by other cities”?

What the fudge?

Just as I predicted.

The Vikings will remain in Minnesota.

Wolf is a real estate investor who more than likely only bought the team because he knew they needed a new stadium and knew he would get boat loads of taxpayer money to build one. So basically he’s getting the taxpayers to pay for half of his real estate investment. Tell me any other private business that could get the public to pay for their new facility.

The irony may be that Mr Luck doesn’t go number 1. His last six games were not that spectacular. Cam Newton came from behind to grab the number one pick last year. Me thinks RG3 goes first and or Indy trades the pick for two number twos and starts the massive rebuilding and keeping Manning for three more years?

I see the vikes having no choice but to take RG3.
There game playing has always been to have a fast back plus a QB that can run also to freeze defenses like Detroit and Chicago from rushing the passer all day long.
Neither Ponder nor Webb have shown that ability. Webb becomes a receiver next year, ponder the back up and RG3 the man who changes everything.
Besides its the RG3′s that put people in the seats not some Offensive Lineman.

Rural? Arden hills is 15 minutes frOm downtown Minneapolis. It’s hardly “rural”.

By: thankheavenfornumberseven

I know there are no cities in West Virginia, but being 10 minutes outside an urban area does not make a location “rural.” Arden Hills is a suburb. You make it sound like they want to build the stadium in Mayberry.

I dont see the Vikes taking RG3 even though they should. Im on board with Blackmon or Kalil its the arena football league.Defense is useless highest score wins.
