By the way, The Vikings will probably get a stadium
True enough. The rivalries is what makes this so much fun. Having the Vikings move to LA and having maybe the Rams go to the NFC North would have sucked.
Plus, my contingency plan sort of sucked. Buying an Urlacher jersey and hanging out at Alary's bar every Sunday wasn't going to be that great.
I don't know, a rivalry with the Rams could have begun. The Vikes haven't been around as long as the bares and loins.
This forum is where to post Rastak. We're going to get the wrinkles out of it without any really dramatic changes. I believe it's about personal attitude and acceptance of one another as simply football fans with knowledge to share with one another using decent manners. Sometimes we won't always agree and that's acceptable in terms of proper debate.
Rastak.I can attest to this as an observer and poster here. You were definitely missed. Packerrats needs you input.
The Vikings had an excellent off season to date. I loved your first two picks in the draft and trading down out of #3. Priceless !

I was glad the vikes got this done. Making fun of the Bear fans just isn't as enjoyable as Viking fans, and if we lost them, half of my jokes would become voided..

If the temp is sub fifty and you have a retractable roof it has to be closed per NFL rules. Heard this on KFAN. Reason for the retractable roof is MLS Soccer.
If it's less than fifty you have to close the roof? Per the NFL? That seems dumb.

Yes considering that football is played in the Fall/Winter months.
Maybe it's got something to do with a new awareness of Global Warning?
GO PACKERS !

The Minnesota Vikings are going to be staying in the Twin Cities area. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has just signed a bill approving an almost $1 billion construction project, according to the Associated Press (h/t USA Today )...
Comment woodbuck27: The Vikings 'will certainly now get a new stadium. Our 'Purple andWhite' foe remains in Minny. That's IMO great news.
Vikings Stadium: Minnesota Governor Signs Bill To Build New Stadium.
"Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has just signed a bill approving an almost $1 billion construction project, according to the Associated Press (h/t USA Today).
Dayton’s pen has alleviated the fears of many Vikings fans that they would eventually lose their team to a more attractive area, such as Los Angeles, unless a new stadium proposal could make it through legislation." Fr. LINK

The Vikings stadium deal that Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton signed into law Monday involves plenty of public participation, but it also prevents the public from getting a look at the team's finances during their partnership to build the $975 million stadium.
Vikings Shield Books In $975M Minn. Stadium Deal

" The law commits the state and city of Minneapolis to pay a combined $498 million, while the team will bring in $477 million from private sources.
One provision would shield “any financial information” from the team from public eyes. Critics say the blanket protection goes beyond current state law, leaving taxpayers in the dark on one of the state’s biggest public works projects. Minnesota law already allows businesses that get state money to avoid disclosing trade secrets, business plans, tax returns and other financial data." Fr. LINK

All that's left to do is have the Minneapolis City Council vote to approve the $150M city contribution. The stated positions of the Council are 7-6 in favor and likely not going to change. I think the official vote is in a week or so. But hey, this is MN where we elected a wrestler as governor (which was so awesomely fun) so anything could happen.

No, the NFL only gets involved with these decisions in the playoffs.
