So whereabouts is this site in relation to the current Metrodome site?

Works for me. I would think building it outside of downtown would be cheaper. Also the dome and land it's on could be sold to raise funds. Plus Ramsey county would probably give them the land and make a contribution towards funding.

No ... when stadiums go up ... accommodations are very quick to follow.

midgensa, wouldn't that be to the North East instead of the North West?

Actually it would drive Minneapolis nuts because they would no longer get all the income from the Vikings.:lol:

Typical. The Vikings once again are trying to play ball before they even have their shit together.

For the love of god i once would like to see them do their homework and actually have a solid, comprehensive game plan before the game starts instead of just winging it.

They have been going at this for like 13-15 years and they still don't have a site nailed down.
