How the setup looks including parking, transportation, etc? Over here on the west coast, we at least got an idea of what the new Niner stadium would look like before the deal was done. Maybe I’ve missed it but your help would be appreciated.

For God’s sake, if I go to a game, I drive 4 HOURS! don’t bitch about another 10 friggin miles. If its that big of a deal, stay home and watch it on TV.

The Vikings want it there. Problem is our politicians in the state are fighting for the Minneapolis business, they came in late with no good ideas and should not be rewarded. We have been through this with the Twins and Wild {aka North Stars}. Quit greasing each others pockets and put it in Arden Hills, the parking and transportation at the dome is already pathetic.

The tribe’s contribution would be to fund the State’s portion. Would the local partner still be on the hook for funding?

I have not heard anything that says the tribe funding cannot happen if the site is Minneapolis. Why are you making a connection between them and Arden Hills?

I dislike the Arden Hills site because it increases travel time for everyone south of Minneapolis and there is no public transit in place. Minneapolis is centrally located, and has transit systems in place. I am happy that Minneapolis is the location of
===================================

All I am saying is that it feels like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The Arden Hills site as enough space for the entire project with a casino and all the nessessary parking, With additional space to boot. Yes, it’s a little farther away, but would likely save everybody time as the in & out thing downtown sucks. Not to mention most people having to park several blocks away. Rest assured that if they were to build it, public transportation would be available.

Maybe if you spent a little more time investigating the issue and less time being a smarta$$, you’d know.

Next why does everyone just think they are running to LA? is LA any more ready to build a stadium? no. much like the situation in MN they haven’t even settled on a site nor do they have funding in place. its going to be a weird league when you have the LA Vikings, LA Jaguars, LA Rams, LA Bills, LA Raiders, and LA Chargers. I guess we will have to have the NFC LA division and AFC LA division.

they had beer taps ready to go, then the stupid liberal university decided to yank all the liquor sales for some righteous dry campus policy that doesn’t exist anyways. that pissed off a whole lot of box seat owners, so now they have empty boxes (giggidy) in that stadium.

you expect us to watch that team sober?

Enough already!!!!! Build tha stadium in Arden Hills. Have the White Earth Tribe build a casino on the same property, collect a share of the revenue so the state doesn’t have to raise taxes. That will ensure a total gameday experience. Throwing together this hodge-poge, build it at the current Metrodome site while using TCF Bank stadium is ridiculous! It’s really not that hard people

I agree with you. Take the hand out from the Tribe
