Governor Dayton Says Vikes Stadium Has To Be at The Dome
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton says if the Vikings are going to get a stadium bill passed this legislative session the site will have to be the where the Metrodome is. Dayton spokesman Katharine Tinucci says the Governor gave that message to Viking owner Zigi Wilf Monday. Because of practical and financial reasons the Metrodome site is believed to be the best option for the Vikings.
The Vikings are not pleased with this development but Viking Vice President Leslie Bagley was not available for comment. The Vikings have said if they build at the Dome site the project would cost more than originally thought because of upgrades needed at TCF Bank Stadium. The Vikings would have to play their home games at TCF Bank Stadium while the new stadium is constructed. Dayton is expected to meet with Wilf this week.
