I like the part where they finish it.But then they start that work all over again. Why build this over and over like that.. whats the point?

Amish could have built it in 2 weeks

Cost more than the New Horizons NASA mission to Pluto. Coincidentally, Pluto also has the same number of Super Bowl trophies.

If the tax payers paid for it them why does US bank get to put their name on it?

It's be any interesting idea to let companies sponsor probes/space missions. Not the worst idea

We're some of the most proud people Ive met, and we allllll know the vikings suck.

I give kudos to those who maintain hope for them? I hate we built a new stadium, but I admit it was ultra amazing for Xgames

Meanwhile, we Germans need about 12 years to build a fucking airport.

That's nice, but looks like only half of the billion dollar stadium was paid by The Vikings. Who is the other half?

9 years ago | Likes 93 Dislikes 2

The owner ziggy guy just got his team subsidized and he's presumably a billionaire...all these owners hold towns' teams ransom. Let em go.

Sorry. We deserved to lose a team more. -St. Louis

Cause LA has proven to be such a great place for football? They can't sell out a single game

HERE WE GO! whatcha think of the whole bell fiasco? also, whatcha think of Jesse James as a top TE?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I see both sides of the Bell argument, trusting the FO. Jesse isn't top 5, but is reliable enough to be a good contributor.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

as for bell, i almost hope he leaves and somehow we get Saquon Barkley. HE'S the total package,on &off the field. The kid has great vision

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think JJ could be special. He's got the size, and he's got GREAT hands. Improve his blacking game and we have a winner. I'm also biased.

It's paying itself off far exceeding the projections right now.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

how much of it was paid for by the city? how much was paid for by the actual nfl or the team?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

City: 150 million. Vikings owners: 572 million

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

when are they paying back the 150?

I'm not entire sure, a quick google search could probably tell you if you cared enough.

It is a shame that we use state money to build sportsball arenas but hesitate to renovate schools or fix urban blight. But go team!

When those kids start working, there will be a job for them in or around the stadium.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah yes, a low paying service job, sounds great

We all had those kind of jobs in the beginning. There's legitimate whining, then there's I should make $100k out of high school whining.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

the idea is that having an attraction like a sports team will bring revenues to the city for a long time as opposed to a single payment now

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 4

Not necessarily defending the cost or citizens having to pay out the ass, but that's the idea

It also brings violence, organized crime and urban blight. It also increases drunk driving and lower property values.

How does a football stadium bring violence and organized crime and urban blight?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Events held there often bring drug culture, gambling is much more common near stadiums and people move away when stadiums come

Another person who doesn't understand that football is great for business. want to complain? then see how schools spend money in the South

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 9

Wasn't it in Texas and Louisiana where they laid off teachers to build stadiums? Also considering the low levels of education in the south..

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Nope. US Bank stadium is Minnesota. Just about as far north as possible.

Make them pay for it, not use public money, have your sportsball but taxpayer shouldn't ever pay for it over public works

Yeah unless all of that revenue is going back into the state, which none of it is

I get where you are coming from, however, the state banks on that money being replaced over time via the local economy. i.e people go to 1/2
