Title: $1 Billion Dollar Stadium
Post by: Low Key on April 19, 2007, 05:35:47 PM: http://www.startribune.com/10136/gallery/1131536.html

These are the plans for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium at the spot where the Metrodome is. I like the lay out, but the Vikings don't deserve a new stadium right now. Zygi Wilf better be paying a huge chunk of that bill. We're already paying taxes for a new Twins stadium and 1/4 of the new Gophers stadium.

Post by: Low Key on April 20, 2007, 02:28:53 AM: They could construct it for cheaper but the Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is a real estate billionaire. He doesn't want to have a stadium unless it's some hybrid shopping center/stadium. Se essentially what they want to do is eliminate 3 different parking structures to build a massive thoroughfare. Brilliant. Plus, if Zygi is going to treat this like another real estate venture, he should put up his own money. Taxes don't go up when people build skyscrapers.

They're currently doing something similar to the Staples Center.

They're banking on people moving to Downtown L.A.
