Minneapolis City Council Likes New Stadium Deal... For Now...

((HT: KARE-TV))

There was a lot of concern that the new dome deal for the Minnesota Vikings and the city would just, kinda, die in committee and not make its way out of capitol discussions and/or committees...

For now, there was an interesting twist to all of that talk...

Mayor R.T. Rybak says he has the votes in teh affirmative to make it happen from his end...

Go figure...

Here's their reaction... until it changes...


The current numbers have the bottom line at US$975 million. Minneapolis would contribute $150 million to help build the new facility and another $200 million to help operate it.

But the whole thing may come to a vote since the value, technically, exceeds $10-million. Just depends if you pay attention to Mayor Rybak or opposing council members.

Here's KSTP-TV's version...


And the version from our friends at MyFoxTwinCities...
