Pretty bad choice. I've been to games in Minnesota and there is not a whole lot to do. Plus the weather sucks. I'd rather go to New Orleans if I was going to the Super Bowl.

I hope we represent the NFC and win that SB in their house!
This is all about rewarding Minnesota for putting up a lot of taxpayer money to help build a new stadium.
Just set up camp near the happy Gnome or Surly and call it good.
You know why he's out there:

That's good that an NFCN team was awarded this opportunity.
I wish it was the Green Bay Packers and Lambeau though.
Does that make Packer fans Tusken Raiders?

The Vikes have to play the next 2 seasons in the Gophers stadium that only holds about 52k (even after the Vikes pay for more seating) which is about 13k lower than the new stadium. The Vikes oweners want this thing done in a hurry and start reaping the $ benefits. It would take a huge issue or event to not have this thing ready in 2016. The Wilfs will lose too much $ if it's not.
Wonderful. A SB played in a huge greenhouse. :p
It will be done. They have one part of it started while they are still clearing away the rubble from the other side. Lots of construction activity...and lots of money involved.
The Vikings are motivated to get it done.
The TCF Bank stadium (Gophers play there) isn't big/fancy enough for pro games to some people, plus it's outdoors. Watching the Vikings play outside in January doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me, and I'm not sure it will be for the players either. They used to play outside in the Met, but the schedule wasn't stretched into Jan/Feb like it is now.
Goodell gave it to Minny because it will be in a shiny new stadium that they can show off to the world, and they can't always play in Nawlins.
Ya, it should be ready, there's really no reason it wouldn't be. But

Not saying, just saying.
The whole process up until now has been so messed up, why would that change?
