Comments on: Loss On The Field Won’t Stop Stadium Win http://www.savethevikes.org/2010/02/02/loss-on-the-field-wont-stop-stadium-win/ Driving the Vikes Towards the Goal of a new Stadium Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:03:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Bruce http://www.savethevikes.org/2010/02/02/loss-on-the-field-wont-stop-stadium-win/comment-page-1/#comment-642 Bruce Wed, 19 May 2010 21:15:06 +0000 http://www.savethevikes.org/?p=649#comment-642 At my local precinct caucus this evening a resolution was proposed to not allow public funding for a new stadium. Thankfully the resolution was not approved. It was a narrow margin but if the rest of the state follows it means half the state of Minnesota is for it. It takes less than half the state to fill a stadium. The writer of the resolution brought up some good points, namely the state of our economy. Pohlad got a stadium with less money down than Mr Wilf is planning on spending. The U got a stadium. The Vikings are the most popular team in Minnesota, we should get a new stadium. Consider the loss of revenue, loss of jobs, (etc) that would happen if we lose the Vikings. The economic issues facing us are important but I should not have to give up my hobbies.

That being said now is the most important time to ratchet up every email we can muster and get this thing done in 2010. TPaw has even recognized the importance of the Vikings and semi endorsed using a state lottery to fund the stadium, I use semi endorsed loosely because TPaw has no backbone and wont ink his name to any good stadium ideas. At least he is throwing some ideas out there though, lets flood the capital with emails and calls this month they cant ignore us all.
