Governor Mark Dayton says he will call a special legislative session for a vote on a Vikings stadium bill even if there is not a specific proposal tied to one of several proposed sites.

A Ramsey County panel is set to decide whether county residents get to vote on a proposed sales tax increase to help build a new Minnesota Vikings stadium.

A Ramsey County panel is holding a public hearing to discuss whether county voters should get to approve a proposed half-cent sales tax increase to help build a Minnesota Vikings stadium.

The Minnesota Vikings brought their push for a new stadium to Central Minnesota today (Wednesday). The Vikings Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development Lester Bagley is meeting with local state lawmakers.

The Minnesota Vikings say the team is willing to pay more for a suburban Twin Cities stadium, but the deal faces another complication as the state Senate majority leader insists on a public vote.

Gov. Mark Dayton says he would support letting Ramsey County voters weigh in on a proposed sales tax increase for a new Vikings stadium. Stadium backers have been working on a plan that would not allow voters a say in building a Vikings stadium in Arden Hills.

Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf says he remains hopeful that there will be a special legislative session in the fall to consider a stadium bill for the team.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says the new stadium plan presented this year by the Vikings and Ramsey County was "incomplete and unsatisfactory." Dayton's remarks came Wednesday at a news conference to discuss the state budget.

The Minnesota Vikings are ready to move forward with a stadium plan when lawmakers return for a special session to end the state government shutdown.

The Minnesota Vikings say they are still working on a proposal for a new stadium in Arden Hills. Vice president Lester Bagley says "a handful of issues" are still being discussed as they work to fine tune the proposal and get it ready for presentation to the Legislature.
