i don't have a lot to offer. arden hills is the vikings choice, minneapolis is Mayor Rybak's & apparently Governor Dayton's choice. they lean towards the metrodome site, but that would entail loss of revenue for the vikes since they would have to play in TCF stadium (with less capacity than the dome) for 3 years. so that's when the basilica spot cropped up again, and as marauder said, now shakopee.

i still have no clue why zygi pulled out of the blaine development project he had years ago. anoka county was ready to commit tax dollars, but zygi still had his heart in minneapolis and was hoping for a sweeter deal, which never came.

and while i like target field, the fact that they bypassed a constitutionally required public referendum to fund it was BS, and it appears to be what they are trying to do for the vikings as well.
