One potential site of new Vikings' stadium ruled out
Minnesota Sports-- One possible site for a new Vikings stadium -- the Minneapolis Farmers Market on the edge of downtown near Target Field -- is out of the running after the chair of the county board indicated in a letter to Governor Dayton that Hennepin County will not be a local partner.
MINNEAPOLIS-- One possible site for a new Vikings stadium -- the Minneapolis Farmers Market on the edge of downtown near Target Field -- is out of the running after the chair of the county board indicated in a letter to Governor Dayton that Hennepin County will not be a local partner.
Analysts say that leaves two sites still in the mix: the current Metrodome location, which is backed by Minneapolis officials, and the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition plant site in the northern suburb of Arden Hills.
Backers of a new Vikings stadium rolled out proposed legislation several weeks ago but it hasn't had a hearing at the State Capitol because top lawmakers say they're focused "like a laser" on the state budget.
