There is plenty of talk regarding the future of the HHH Metrodome. So much talk that it has even been a good question news story. The fact of the matter is that the Gopher Football team is out in 2009, the Twins leave in 2010 and the Minnesota Vikings lease expires in 2011.
The Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which is the public agency in charge of the Metrodome, says the Dome can operate without the Gophers and Twins, but not without the Vikings. Ideally, the commission would like to work out a deal with the Minnesota Vikings to build a new stadium in the existing 22 acre Metrodome site. The infrastructure is already in place including parking options and light rail transportation options for fans. It would be nice to see the Minnesota Vikings remain in downtown Minneapolis and work out some sort of stadium deal for a “new metrodome” facility, but it may be a long road to reach an agreement. Then again, if you know the original Metrodome history, it was a long road as well.
