August 27th the Vikings go up against the Dallas Cowboys on Mall of America at 7 pm. Then on September 1st the Vikings take on the Seattle Seahawks on Mall of America at 7pm.

Now What for the Metrodome?

With news of the new Vikings stadium what will happen to the Metrodome in 2-3 years? While it might be a dump, it holds lots of memories for both young and old. The two Twins World Series titles. The 1998 Vikings and the first year Brett Favre suited up in the purple and gold all hold a special place in the hearts of Minnesota sports fans. As bad of a place as it was, I surely miss it. Personally, I was lucky enough to go inside the Metrodome this past year when I went to state for boys soccer when I was the manager for SPA. Being around my friends and getting to step onto the same field many of the greats have stepped on was a chilling experience. All in all it was a really cool place and it will hold a special memory in my heart. How about you? And what do you think we should do with it?

Minnesota Vikings Very Close to Arden Hills Stadium

According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press:

"The Minnesota Vikings are "very, very close" to reaching an agreement with Ramsey County to build a stadium in Arden Hills, a Ramsey County commissioner involved in negotiations told the Pioneer Press on Thursday. "

This is groundbreaking news (pun intended) because that would mean a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. Keep an eye on the updates as this one could be important for Minnesota Vikings fans.
