This crap needs to end. I don’t give a flying FIG if the Vikings leave, and I happen to like football. We don’t need to build them a new stadium. Nothing wrong with the old one, especially when we spent a mint to put a new roof on it. Screw ‘em! I don’t care! Go away, don’t let the door hit you in the a** on the way out!
What type of taxes is the state going to add?
Here in Indiana they put a big tax on restaurant meals for the Irsays’ 700 million palace.
All those (highly scalpable) seats for the Super Bowl going to the politicians were just too good to turn down....
They even passed a law making everything involved with the Super Bowl non-taxable.

This deal is so lucrative that the team actually gets all the revenue from non-NFL events like concerts and basketball games played in the stadium.
“...especially when we spent a mint to put a new roof on it.”
Insurance covered it.
