Meetings begin at the Capitol for Viking's stadium proposals

Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf met with Gov. Mark Dayton at the State Capitol on Wednesday to discuss plans for the team's new stadium, reported the Star Tribune.
Wilf has long been seeking a $1.1 billion project on 423 acres of land in Arden Hills. The site has been thought of as a long shot, but the owner stays optimistic.
"Arden Hills is not out of the picture. We would still like to explore, but we would leave it up to the legislative working group to decide where they would want us to work hardest at," said Wilf, according to the Pioneer Press.
This site plan is being considered along with one which will cost a lesser $918 million and is preferred by the city of Minneapolis, and Gov. Dayton, reported the Star Tribune.
The Pioneer Press reported the team said they would put $425 million towards the site in Arden Hills, but have not announced financing if the site is not chosen. Still to come is not only a formal decision as to where the stadium will be located, but also how it will be financed.
