A Shoreview Council member has started an online petition for the Vikings to not build a stadium in Arden Hills. The council member is upset because the State would be paying 300 million, Ramsey County would pay 300 million and and the team would pay 400 million. The council member, Blake Huffamn, believes that people are reluctant to pay for a luxury iten during these hard economic times. He cites the price of gas as an example and he believes there would be more crime, noise, and traffic in Arden Hills. He wants the stadium built in downtown minneapolis and for it all to be paid by the owners and users of the stadium.
Sorry Mr. Huffman, but what do you think they have been trying to do this whole time. Obviously they have tried to build a stadium downtown in either St. Paul or Minneapolis but it hasn't worked so that's why they have been left trying to build one in Arden Hills.
