Stadium being built!

This week had been a whirlwind for Vikings fans. After months of debating and going back and forth on where the building will be, how much the state will pay and countless other points, Governor Mark Dayton has signed the bill. The decision has been finalized for the Vikings to stay centered in Minneapolis in a stadium costing almost a billion dollars at the site of the current Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

For many fans, the Metrodome has been a pain and the stadium can't be built fast enough. Especially since most of the state contribution comes from a gambling fee expansion, not user fees.

How are you feeling about the plans for the new stadium?
