I’m more interested in figuring out who the #4 wanna-be in the picture. He sure seems important to one person in the picture…….

No need to fret, the Vikings will get their new stadium.

Is that positive enough to not get deleted?

@thankheaven.

Dude, What? Do you live in district 1? I’m just telling you what my bro-in-law has heard from his neighbors and acquaintances. I have no idea if that is indicative of what the rest of the people in that district think. I guess we’ll find out.

And, I mispelled a word? This is a football website, I think you’re looking for the Elizabethan poetry website…

Ok… What about the other council member who was quoted as saying a week ago he might change his no vote to a yes after the new details on the bill emerged and the Vikings now putting an extra 50 mil.

Giving it an 8-5 passing vote in the mpls council.

Keep hoping for L.A. thou, nice try. Not. Gotta give those Packer fans in Minnesota something else to complain about other than their defense I guess.

At least you’re not Kevin Seifert, whatta chode.

My bro-in-law lives in that district. He says the prevailing sentiment is that the constituents were mad that he voted yes and are leaning on him to switch to no. I guess we’ll see who’s job he is more interested in saving, Zygi’s or his own.

Two of those sentences were lies. The third contained a spelling error.

Congrats on a new stadium to watch your team rot in the cellar the next ten years!

I guess..

Any city council member voting against investing only $5M per year over a 30 year minimum economic life of the stadium (even less in future dollars) should have to answer to his/her constituents on why they rejected a no brainer civic investment out of spite.

Minneapolis will get that cash back easily and then some over the life of new Vikings stadium.

The stadium being approved is inevitable
Almost as inevitable as the Vikings never winning a Super Bowl

Every Vikings fan knows their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If the council voted it down, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

If the Minneapolis City Council screws it up at this point, Vikings fans should be allowed to sue them for damages due to pain and suffering. Enough is enough.

Hang in there, fellow PFT’ers. After their City Council gives official approval, the Vikings won’t do anything newsworthy until their new stadium opens in 2016.

A “No” vote would be the cruelest, most devastating thing I could imagine at this point. Just when you think it’s all over, another battle emerges.

And WHY are you giving ‘those opposed to giving $500 million of public’ ANY more ammunition, or hope?

Let them be, they are the enemy of football and hate everything and everyone.

After the approval of the Minnesota Legislature and Governor; and getting the Vikings to kick-in an extra $50 million, the City Council members would be committing career suicide if they don’t approve it. With the Vikings putting in the additional money there’s a better chance the vote is stronger in favor than it swinging the other way.

Well if Kevin Reich changes his vote back to no he better have some good life insurance because the people of Minnesota will kill him!!!

CHEESE AND RICE!

The one senator had 900 emails the night before the last vote, would there be any pressure on a city councilman? If they vote against it maybe people should change how they vote in this great state !

Drew Pearson. Gary Anderson. Brett Favre.

I’ll believe this is over when it’s over.

Hopefully the Vikings come out on top and the City Council votes in favor of the team and stadium. It will be devastating if it doesn’t. I could not love LA Vikings, I’d have to be done with football. I make flights to Minnesota once a year or two and go to away games at Ford field, but no way would I fly to LA.

Yes, I’m nervous…haven’t popped the cork yet on the war, but have celebrated the victories on the battles won to day. One battle left.

It took ten years to get them this far. It will be another ten before the first beer is sold at the new stadium!
