Yup. The MSM will make a big splash about it, the local officials shaking hands and patting themselves on the back...

Just think of the dozens of people needed to hawk beer and hotdogs 8 Sundays a year. All for only a billion bucks.

Basically, the Vikings got everything they wanted - like the contract will say that the facility must be maintained as a “top tier” facility, the terms of which the NFL can dictate, so millions more in capital investment over the 30 years.

in inflation-adjusted dollars, the $60 million that was spent to build the current Metrodome would be about $300 in current dollars. So we’re overbuilding by $700 million.
