Not trying to take this off-topic but the STL city's recent proposal to the Rams took the Rams off guard. Very very solid and certainly greatly improved chances of keeping Rams in STL -- another midwest town keeping their team would be great -- back on track ........ sort of -- I still have trouble with Minn/St Paul losing the north stars ...... biggest tragedy in sports relocation.
Yep, we all know how much they love hockey in the great state of Texas.
Glad to hear that the Rams are less likely to move back to LA though.
Save money, don't have a roof!

Honestly though, as a Vikings fan I would love to being playing outdoors again. I mean..we are the Vikings..but I know that will never happen (other than a season at the U to get the new stadium up).
Just think it'd be cool to go back to the good old days of the met. But I couldn't care less as long as they stay.

When I was an undergrad -- 1971 - 1975 we would drive up once each year for a game in the Vet. Never been colder!!! What a great time!!Save money, don't have a roof!

The new Vikings stadium will have a roof. If Indianapolis and Detroit get to host Super Bowls, Minneapolis will want that capability as well, especially since they have done so in the past. Yes, they scrapped the roof at Target Field, but the motivation for building a roof is saving a handful of games in a given year. There is more at stake with a roofed football stadium.
It won't be easy. There are some real obstructionist in both the Council and the Legislature.
The 2014 Super Bowl is in New York... a cold weather stadium. I believe the rule that states the SB must be in a warm/indoor climate will be reevaluated after the 2014 game. I'd expect more cold weather SBs after that.
And I agree... It'll most likely be a domed stadium.
Sidenote: Did you hear Duluth made a pitch for the Vikings Stadium?

I assume George Clooney and John Krasinski put the proposal together...

There's also a gigantic difference between New York and Minneapolis in February in terms of weather. If the New York Super Bowl works, they're not going to play a Super Bowl at Lambeau Field as a result, and the size of Green Bay has nothing to do with it - the fear of having Ice Bowl II does, and that is also a very real possibility at an open-air stadium in Minneapolis as well.
Yeah. I'll be happy as long as they stay in Minnesota. I can't imagine not being able to go to games or watching them on tv. I'll be crushed.
It seems like there has had so many stops and starts. I hope this get taken care of this time...they are running out of time. Also, glad to see they are back downtown.
