JamesCraven Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Arizona buisnessman Reggie Fowler has agreed in principal to buy the Minnesota Vikings from current owner Red McCombs for around $630 million (US). If this happens, Fowler would become the first African-American owner in modern NFL history.

Mac the Knife Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 But the real question is: Will they stay in Minnesota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 This isn't a done deal yet. The NFL owners must still sign-off on it and there are skeptics who believe the billionaire owners will be hesitant to approve a deal involving a non-billionaire owner. As for whether they'll stay, none of the news reports I've read on this even address the question -- which is disappointing. I think it's what most people want to know.

brinkeguthrie Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I know San Francisco is in need of a pro football team. And a stadium for them to play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Yay Boise!!Well Arizona is not far from LA, although I think they will stay in the Twins Cities, I think they will at least flirt with Los Angeles to force Minnesota to fork over the dough for a new stadium. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Fowler is all ready to move his family and business to Minneapolis. They arent moving. If the deal falls through, Timberwolves billionaire owner Glen Taylor will be right there to snatch them up. And if he owns, they definitely arent moving. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hoping all along that the franchise lands in Taylor's hands. He's a responsible owner and a sensible one, too. He's been purposely low-balling Red McCombs in hopes that all other suitors fall through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have forgotten the hidden deal with Joe Smith and the penalties that he and the team suffered from that. The loss of 1st round picks ended with teh 2004 draft.
