Deal Close for Vikings Stadium in Minneapolis

A Vikings stadium deal between the Vikings, the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis is reportedly close to happening, according to a report by KFAN Sports Radio.

A bill is close to being finalized that would put the Vikings on the current site of the Metrodome. The parties will continue to negotiate and formulate the bill throughout the evening and then the tough work of getting representatives and senators to vote for the bill begins, the report said.

If the bill is finalized overnight, which is expected, a press conference will be held at the State Capitol building in St. Paul at 9 a.m. Thursday morning.

Shakopee Mayor Brad Tabke, posted on Facebook Tuesday night that he is glad the Vikings wil have a home in Minnesota.

"Obviously bummed it isn't Shakopee – but we couldn't finalize an alternative to racino for local partner funding in time," he wrote. "Now we need to support racino and get it passed for !"
