Looks like the stadium bill was shot down...not looking good for the Vikes in the Twin Cities.

The plan, which had drawn praise but also quick criticism from Gov. Tim Pawlenty and DFL House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, underwent a significant metamorphosis at the House committee hearing Tuesday night, as supporters removed taxes on hotel rooms, rental cars...
Your fan base had better get in gear and support a stadium being built up there then.
Interesting that the bill is pretty much taxing the tourism into the state. Not exactly a great way to bring in visitors.
EDIT:
The Vikings have the most fair weather fan base I have ever seen. When they are in the Playoffs everyone puts the flags on the cars. But pay for a Stadium? No way.
Agree!!!
When did you pick the Saints as your favorite team, right after the Super Bowl?
A lot of states do this. DOnt get the taxes approved if you charge te locals but they do get approved by residents if you tax the "visitors."
