Vikings scrutinize downtown Mpls. stadium site near basilica
The Minnesota Vikings are taking a closer look at a stadium site in downtown Minneapolis near the Basilica of St. Mary, a $1.03 billion proposal that so far is the least known of the team’s possible new homes.
While the team insists its first choice remains Ramsey County’s Arden Hills, a Vikings spokesman said the team is conducting a detailed traffic analysis of the so-called Linden Avenue site because the property’s ability to house a stadium was relatively unknown. Lester Bagley, the team’s vice president for stadium development and public affairs, cautioned that the team does not yet have a preferred site for a new stadium in Minneapolis.

I don’t understand why they’re so obsessed with these sites close to Target Field that have no parking, no connectivity to the Skyway, no light rail, etc.
Either build the damn stadium where the Metrodome is or build it in Arden Hills. Or just don’t build it and shut up about it.

they just want the city to look like it has things in tourism photos. it’s all part of the minnesota inferiority complex. it’s like buying a bmw and parking it in the driveway instead of garaging it b/c you want to make sure all of your neighbors know that you have one.
