Vikings Metrodome Future

There are still so many questions surrounding the future of the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome. The Gophers are gone after this season, the Twins in two seasons and that just leaves the stadium starved Minnesota Vikings to hold down the white teflon roof. Well, I read in the Tribune recently that “the developer who granted an option to the Minnesota Vikings and the Metrodome's owner for a block next door to the stadium has asked to extend that option deadline to 2012.”

Hmmm….Perhaps a new stadium on the site of the Metrodome is closer than we think. I am sure public funding will be a long battle, but if you know the Metrodome History, then you know that it was a battle as well. Be sure to visit the Dome soon and take plenty of pictures because the stadiums days are definitely numbered.
