There's a difference between "Deal" and "Agreement." I'll get excited about it when legislators get their heads out of their collective holes, the financing plan is agreed upon, signed, sealed and delivered and ground is broken. I've been down this road too many times.
I don't care where it's built anymore, just friggin build it!

Well obviously I want that stuff too. I understand the difference but that's not gonna stop me from being excited about this.

I hate to be a pessimist about it, but I got all excited about the AH partnership, which has now, pretty much, gone to ****. I guess the 3-13 finish hasn't given me much to be excited about either, but they're still the Vikings and I still bleed purple-mixed-with-cardinal (or vice-versa) and gold. At least they seem to finally be formulating a financing package.
SKOL!

Once it's finished, we can get back on here and celebrate.
Skol Vikings.

I agree. A retractable roof sounds good to me.
Somewhere Bud Grant cries....

Won't be outdoor...the city wants another dome so they can hold other events there so it's most likely going to be a dome...
The Vikings want at least a retractable roof (they'd prefer outdoor) but that jacks the cost up and the city/state don't (or at least didn't) want to fund it...
I'm hoping they can figure out a way to get a retractable roof...
Re: Tentative Agreement Reached For Vikings Stadium
I can see it now. Vikings move up in the draft to get RG III. And then the hoopla starts.

I know you're kidding (I hope), but move up with the 3rd pick? I just hope we don't trade it away. Draft Kalil or Blackmon and I'm one happy dude.

Draft Blackmon and we'll be back to the Randy Moss glory days... on offense. Our secondary needs to just start over.

I'd like to see them acquire a WR through free agency, maybe someone like Bowe or Jackson, and then get Kalil at #3.

Jackson would be a risky move. I'd love to have him if we wanted to show up and play.

Definitely need some secondary help. Stupid injuries. Drafting linemen is no fun but we all know it's a safe and good pick if we take Kalil. But thinking about Blackmon having some monster seasons with us sounds amazing. It's just that Ponder needs time to be able to throw it.

I agree that Jackson is risky but he's a good player. I think Stevie Johnson could be added to this list although I think he'll be resigned.

Kalil may go #2. If so, I'd say we go Blackmon. If Kalil is on the board it'd be hard to pass up.
