The Minnesota Vikings need a new stadium, that is no secret if you are a football fan like me.  They need to operate on the same financial playing field as the rest of the teams in the NFL.  The Wilf family is willing to put around $400 million into a building that everyone in the state will use.  The high schools, the colleges, the family events, the concerts, and the number of jobs in building the place and sustaining it.  When we are trying to get people working, to pay taxes, to maintain our way of life, this project more than fits the bill to make a lot of people happy and relieved that the Vikings will stay in Minnesota another 50 years or more.   The Gophers got a new football stadium that is used for concerts, college events and is a jewel of the campus.  The Twins have a great new ballpark that everyone loves, despite that it took ten years too long to get built.  Now is the time to get us to agree that the Vikings, a proud tradition of our life up here in the frozen north, deserve a new stadium that we call all be proud of and call ours.  I know there will be naysayers, but then I would expect that, no one likes change.  But this is one project that will make all of us proud to say we had done.
