HHH Metrodome may continue to be the home of the Minnesota Vikings after the propsal for a new Vikings Stadium was voted down

The Minnesota Vikings had a major blow dealt today to their hopes of getting a new stadium. Just two days after the Minnesota Vikings released their plans for a new stadium that would cost almost $800 Million. The proposal was voted down 10-9 this morning with little hope for revision before the legislator goes on a break in 2 weeks.

Some are saying that the proposal took so long to come about because there was an internal debate about funding from the Vikings Camp... others say that the release of the proposal was strategic so that the legislature would be forced to make a decision before the session ran out. Whatever the motivation was, the Minnesota Vikings will need to come up with a major Plan B before they can even think about moving ahead on finding a new home.

Minnesota Vikings spokespeople have already claimed they WILL NOT be renewing their lease at the HHH Metrodome after the 2011 season, however critics are beginning to think that the line in the sand may have to be re-drawn at the cost of the Vikings pride and credibility. Check back for more updates in the coming weeks.
