Proposal passes to offer Minnesota Vikings lease extension

It really shocks me that so many in Minnesota could care less about my beloved Vikings.?.. I live in California but some of my family is still there, and they are heartbroken at the posibility that they might lose the icon of your state. When people outside of your state think of Minnesota, what do you think we see? The Mall, Paul freakin Bunyun, business headquarters, lakes, snow, icefishing??? Heck no, the Vikings are THE icon of Minnesota. A team with no championship, but you continue to cheer and back your team out of loyalty, tradition, PRIDE!!! I guarentee, out of all the top teams, there are more people rooting for the Vikings than all the rest. They deserve success. It is finally their time. Favre or no Favre, this team deserves the limelight. Childress and the Wilfs have put together the finest team position by position in the NFL. And you chose now to say who the fu@% cares??? wow.. I will never understand or be glad if you idiots lose this franchise!!! enjoy obscurity if you do, because that will be all you have left..  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #48)

...and stadiums get used year-around Teresa; motocross, concerts, monster trucks, other types of sports, There are lots of areas of revenue for a stadium. The NFL insists that the facility is usable 12 months of the year. This all generates revenue for the city too, not just the Vikings or the NFL as a whole.  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #42)

Ya, you'll have an elite pro franchise, jobs, shopping, improved transportation system.. your whole downtown would be transformed!.. oh, and this thing called PRIDE. Cuz from what I'm reading, Many-haha is seriously lacking in that catagory. Zygi is ready to invest heavily in Minneapolis, but the people are too small minded to understand the partnership. too late, too bad...  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #40)

You all are truly fools if you believe this small brain dumb@$$!! $150 mil of the L.A. Stadium will come from a taxpayer bond. and do you honestly believe that the Wilf's wouldn't pick up the cost of moving the team to the #2 profit market in the country? Don't let idiots spout information from 20 years ago. L.A. and California as a whole, want this to happen. The MetroLink will pull people from all over Southern California to this ideal location. 10 years from now, high speed trains will link Northern Cal and Las Vegas to within miles of The City of Industry. This isn't a matter of if, as your fellow statesman above seems to think, its happening NOW! And your team, as of today, has become #1 on Roski's radar! I'm thinking The L.A. Schisms!! I like that.. Burn the ships at Malibu!!! http://sports.yaho o.com/nfl/news?slu g=ap-nfl-losangele s&prov=ap& type=lgns  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #30)

First the legislature screws you. Your liberal-in-disguise Governor abandons you, and now the MSFC gets greedy and makes a horrible miscalculation. The Vikings have just been poised to leave Minnesota, and it truly is a shame. Remember something: the Vikings are #1 at the food line of NFL team profit sharing. Jerry Jones and other owners have stated that this system of even revenue is going away. That alone will kill the Vikings in Minnesota. Now this?? I really thought lately, that it was going to be Jacksonville moving out here. The people Minnesota need to stand up for once and demand the resignation of MSFC Chairman Roy Terwilliger and Paul Thatcher. I'm sure this won't happen because of the majority liberal state that you have become. Social free-be's instead of stadium jobs! But hey, your stupidity is our gain. Maybe your casino indians will give you jobs. See you in L.A. Mr. Wilf!!  (Thursday Nov 19 | post #27)

Vikings replay

Ya, what was with that half-azzed attempt at a conversion? I really try to be a Chilly backer, but **** ? and AD needs to spend the week with the ball duct taped to his hands. That should have been a 45-10 game! Go Rice! Go Vikes!  (Monday Nov 16 | post #2)

Dude, what are you smokin? There's not a team in the league that wouldn't love to have this guy. He's massive and has successfully stopped every middle defender that we have played. I'm not sure what you're seeing. The Vikings have the best O-line in football and McKinney is part of the reason.  (Tuesday Nov 10 | post #22)

Vikings' midseason grades: So Favre, so good

Vikings' midseason grades: So Favre, so good

Anyway.. Good grades. We could nitpick it to death but the bottom line is this: No team in the NFL wants to have to play the Vikings. and from what I saw of the Saints this weekend, and last week for that matter, I see the Vikes as the stronger team.. given that they play all 4 quarters from now on. If you look at our strength of schedule versus theirs, we could end up with home field throughout. No time to get soft. Get well AW!!  (Monday Nov 9 | post #41)
