Percy Harvin at OTAs

Percy Harvin made an appearance at the organized team activities, but has yet to participate. Recall, Harvin is recovering from a minor shoulder surgery he had on April 24. The surgery's purpose was to clean out bone spurs.

Harvin isn't expected to miss much time.

Also missing from OTA participation is another Vikings' star, Adrian Peterson. AP is still rehabbing from his torn ACL.

Vikings ball is right around the corner. Don't miss your chance to score some great tickets!

Minnesota Lawmakers Approve Vikings Stadium

Minnesota lawmakers approved plans for a nearly $1 billion stadium for the Vikings to keep the National Football League team in Minneapolis for at least another three decades.

 The proposed stadium, which would open in 2016, would be the fourth-most expensive NFL stadium ever. The construction bill to taxpayers, $498 million, would be the second biggest public subsidy for an NFL stadium, after the $620 million paid by Indiana taxpayers for the Indianapolis Colts stadium several years ago. 

The Vikings Stadium deal makes Minnesota, population 5.3 million, the latest small market to shell out big bucks for a major sports stadium.

Gov. Mark Dayton greeted the group and praised their support in the hours before an afternoon debate in the House.

The House vote may not come until after midnight. A Senate vote would come next on a separate version of the bill.
