It's just the fact that billionaire's who could easily form a consortium and build their own stadiums and recoup their losses since they do own all of the sports teams in town keep coming back every 10 years whining that the city needs a new stadium. Add that to the fact the the University of Minnesota only comes around every twenty to thirty years. We are taxed by the state for these funds while other taxes are raised and out ability to take care of our own families becomes limited because these sports franchises want but don't really need the money. I love the Vikings but in the long run my family comes first. Look at it this way, when you buy a $1.00 hamburger the total is $1.07.  If you make $18,000 a years and have to pay bills and and work another job to supplement that one; does your money going toward a billionaires stadium make sense to you? tIts not so much that we don’t care if we have a football team or not.

I am sure this talk annoys you as much as it does me. LA got its chance. Besides our parasitic relationship with your ex players, the Jaguars have this in common too.
