    The stadium should be done for the 2016-17 season, so that would have to be a hell of a delay to have it not ready.

    Is the city building it? Sometimes they take longer than 2 1/2 years to fill a pothole.

    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.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    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?

    What does "VLAD 502" mean?


    I spent many a good weekend here watching the Expos traveling up to Montreal from Saint John, NB. I loved the baseball atmosphere in this joint. many times I thought watching baseball here:

    It just doesn't get much better than this.

    Often I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Montreal and to leave the room and go down past super shopping into the Metro and travel to the Olympic Stadium and never take a step out of doors was amazing to me.

    When the Expos were moved from Montreal to Washington DC like so many loyal Expo fans that broke my baseball heart. MLB has never been the same even though I followed the rest of Vladimir Guerrero's career.

    I was there to witness this sad for Expo fans moment. I saw the whole series and when the Expos one the opening game Friday night it was bedlam in the great city of Montreal. It took me and my buds two hours to exit the stadium after the huge win and game was over.

    Ohh what a party ensued in Montreal. The Montreal Canadians or Alouettes never sparked such a huge celebration according to many sources this was the greatest night ever in Montreal.

    It was pretty wide.

    That was just ......... game one.
