Thread: Vikings begin Final Push for new Stadium

This could probably merge with the Pioneer Press article.


Either way its a sad reality, if neither side budges.
My question is why wouldn't the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission look to sell the dome at a very low price to the Vikes and then see if Zygi's $250million, plus the $125 million from the NFL would complete a renovation?

Somenthing's gotta give.

Vikings backdrop at the press conference says MALL OF AMERICA FIELD on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like the major announcement will be that the Vikings have signed a business agreement with the Mall of America.
The new Vikings stadium will be called Mall of America Field.
