09:33 AM ET 02.18 | Minneapolis, the state and the Minnesota Vikings have reached a tentative agreement on a new, $975 million stadium on a site at or near the Metrodome and on how to divide the costs, multiple sources said Friday. Any agreement would be just the first step in the stadium process: The package would need to pass the Legislature and likely the Minneapolis City Council -- neither of which is assured. The National Football League also would have to approve any stadium deal.

I thought this was a baseball thread- you know, the closer got shipped to some new stadium...kinda weird, I know, but then again, I'm the first one on the post almost two hours into the post, so I'm probably just talking to myself anyway!
anyone give a rats behind on what the Minnesota legislature is up to on this one?
Didn't think so...I'll come back in a couple hours and claim the second post. Night all.

just what Minnesota needs, almost a billion dollars of more debt for a company that should have to afford their own costs.
