The Star Tribune reported on Wednesday that a proposed parking ramp for coaches, players and rich ticket holders may be the key to finishing the deal with Land Partners, the owners of the site. Hennepin County and Land Partners have reportedly been millions of dollars apart on the sale price, but Sam Grabarski, Downtown Council President, says that the increased compensation from the ramp could end up being enough for the two parties to agree.

The main problem with this story is that the headline deals with this possible fix, but has very few details to explain how the parking ramp for these select people would work. While certainly a newsworthy item, a bit more digging could have done some good here.
