Minneapolis bids for Viking Stadium

With reports of Minneapolis bidding for the new Vikings stadium, the thought of Target field, Target Center and the new Vikings stadium being within walking distance of each other is creating as much excitement for Minnesotan sports fans as the thought of Meagan Fox showing up to my front door needing a place to stay for the night because her significant other just kicked her out.

Attention everyone who likes to have fun: Minneapolis is quickly becoming the Mecca of sports, entertainment, shopping, social scene and everything in general people who are not hermits - like that creeper of a Gardner in your neighborhood, you know who I am talking about, everyone has one- enjoy.
And let Ticket King be the captain that guides you on your filled nights of exploration and magic!

Pardon that corny and shameless plug, but in all seriousness how awesome would it be if the Vikings stadium ended up being in Minneapolis?

While I am a St. Paul boy at heart, I love Minneapolis. Walking downtown with a group of friends after watching Joe Mauer hit a game winner, or Michael Beasley just being Michael Beasley (side note: my man be-easy seriously needs to get a reality show on Fox Sports North. FYI FSN: Beasley = Ratings) is always a fun filled night. And now with the possibility of the Vikings stadium being next to the other two, the thought of walking away from a Vikings game after Adrian Peterson goes all APAD rushing for 200+ yards, the night is going to be even sweeter. And to top of it all off, the fun doesn’t end there. After games, the exciting streets of Minneapolis have always presented my friends and I with memorable and entertaining experiences that we probably can’t share with our parents until we turn 30.

But seriously, were this stadium deal to fall through, all Minnesotans would have everything in one place. Shopping, food, sports, entertainment, everything would be downtown!

How cool would that be?

Easily as cool as Meagan Fox showing up to my front door needing a place to stay for the night because her significant other just kicked her out
