How many franchises are going to have to move out of LA before they get a clue that it has been tried and hasn't worked? For some ridiculous reason Los Angeles has a tepid interest in pro football.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldn’t get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
I seriously hope that the Vikes stay in Minnesota. I grew up a Bears fan but married a Minnesota girl who is a huge Vikes fan and now my 4 year old has turned into a big Vikes fan. So this has made me a somewhat Vikes fan. But the reason I hope they stay is that it is so easy to go to their games and my son loves them (not as much as ISU games but it is a cool change of pace for a football game). We can leave by 7 in the morning to make a noon game and be back home by 7 at night. My son and i have done that twice this year and it makes for a great day to spend with him. Really hope they stay as I was looking into getting season tickets with my father in-law who already has two season tickets and could easily sell the games we can't make it to.
In all honesty i can't see the twin cities letting their marquee sports program leaving. Someone will step up with a new stadium, IMO.
