Minnesota Senate Revives Vikes Stadium Bill... No, Really...???

((HT: KSTP-TV/MyFoxTwinCities/KARE-TV))

Color the HQ shocked...

A Senate committee narrowly approved a public subsidy to help the Vikings build a new football stadium, one day after being visited by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell apparently invoked those two words "Los Angeles" in his behind-the-scenes talks with high government muckety-mucks and Governor Mark Dayton.

Something called "The Senate's Local Government and Elections Committee" passed the bill 8-6 after a four-hour hearing.

Here's the KSTP version...


The split for the costs would be 44-56 with the state paying the majority in the new discussion. The talks have until the end of April to see if everything passes again...

Here's the MyFoxTwinCities version...

John Croman has team coverage for KARE-TV as the Jolly Roger admitted the league would like a franchise in Los Angeles, but the Shield doesn't want it to be the Vikings...

The HQ bets you say that to all the girls...
