MN has been trying for new stadium for 3+ years now.
Doesn't look like it will happen this year.
But the gophers (U of MN) probably will, because it will be 80+% will come from private donations.
I'm all for tax brakes for businesses, but the NFL or any other sports team models, it simply doesn't make sense as NO outside money is coming in.
Assuming a 600 million stadium, and tax payers at 40% (most recent proposal), 240 million that we get to pay for.
A new stadium does NOT bring in new money for the state that builds them. It simply moves it around the state, and more than likely moves the money out of state.
Indy and Mpls domes aren't that old.
I'm all for updating though!
Green Bay - Chicago etc...
