It better be an outdoor stadium on natural grass, or I will continue to hex, voodoo, curse the sissy homos. You wanna play indoors? We got games for that, they’re called basketball and table tennis.

Let’s see. They want a new stadium for 1.1 billion - likely to rise in cost. The stadium has a life of, say, 25 years. That’s eight games a year X 25 = 200. Throw in 2 super bowls and that comes to 5.45 million dollars a game. Do the taxpayers think it’s worth that?

“the Vikings want to build a new $1.1 billion stadium “

Wow....and here I thought we got scammed spending that much on TWO stadiums here in Seattle.

I guess we got a good deal.

In inflation adjusted dollars the Metrodome cost about $150 million. Wilf is demanding something that costs $1.1 billion or SEVEN TIMES AS COSTLY as the Metrodome.

NO one is offering a compromise. How about we build you something that costs 2.5X as fancy as the Metrodom? (BTW that would be about $400 million which is what he's telling us he's willing to spend). How about something 4X as fancy?

But no. No compromising, no barganing. Give us the most expensive stadium money can or we leave. And the new republican leader can't get to Wilf's offi fast enough, cowtowing a kissing the ass of the biggest crook east of Chicago.
