Stadium Hopes?

There is a great recap over on the Greet Machine on the current state of Zygi's hope to build a new Vikings stadium. I don't think I can state this any better.

I especially like how the GM poses the question, "where will they move to?" As I suggested to the GM, I'd say we might even get a Buffalo (let's play a game in Canada, eh) situation where a few of the Vikes games are played outside in another city. Can you imagine the Vikes playing in the Fargo Dome?

But the GM is right. Where would they go if a stadium deal can't get done here? Las Vegas is just not ready. San Antonio is possible but that's something Dallas and Houston would not approve as that would eat into their market share.

Zygi will eventually sell. That's the key to look for. What will be the intent of the owner after Zygi? Keep the team here or buy with the intent to move? At least with Zygi, we have his promise to never move the team as long as he is owner.

Keep your chin up! Playoffs are coming!!!!
