Time to load up the moving trucks...It's all but a done deal. These legislators carried out the will of the people. Good for them.This should be the last season of Vikings football in Minnesota. I'll be weird, but so be it. Almost a billion dollars for ten games a year? Not worth it.

Gothamite Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Is Farmers Field officially dead, or mearly on life support?Neither. It's exactly where it was a month ago; slowly moving forward, with major issues to be addressed before a team will move there. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

DustDevil61 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 From ESPN, FWIW:Vikings "Out of Options," Says NFL ExecI'm hoping that the NFL doesn't try to expedite any possible Vikes' departure from Minnesota. I'm really hoping that they work something out there.Interesting dream, as well, if true.

NEW.ERA Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 If Wilf plans on selling I hope he tries for an owner willing to stay in Minnesota. I mean I don't know all the logistics that goes into making a stadium deal go through. But if your own state's governor wants the team to stay, only for the lousy house of reps to shoot it down. Such a stupid, backwards ass way of doing it. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a stupid, backwards ass way of doing it.Not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying the single person that is the Governor should outweigh the decisions of the larger governing body?I think most state governors would react similarly. It's not his decision to make, and he's a fan, so of course he's in favor of it. If the decision is made by government, it should absolutely fall to a House of Representatives or a Senate rather than just the Governor.In my opinion, anyways.I'm pretty sure if a similar situation arises in Missouri, you'd see something similar. A Governor who would wildly support a stadium plan to keep the team, but a representative body that would have to be convinced it's the right move for the state. And while the sports fan in me says "yes! yes! listen to the Governor!" the citizen in me believes letting a group of individuals look at it responsibly from a financial standpoint is the smarter decision. (That doesn't, of course, mean they'll arrive at the right decision, though.) JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather put these types of decisions in the hands of legislative bodies, who are (theoretically, at least) closer and therfore more responsive to their constituents.
