Stadium

The stadium battle rages on. When will they finally come together and get the job done.  Make a decision already. I think most of us here in Minnesota would like to Vikings football team to stay here in Minnesota.  However, if the lawmakers and their finance team cannot see their way clear soon I fear the Minnesota Vikings will become the LA Vikings.  Not a good sounding team name to me.

I grew up watching the players try play on a snow covered field with wide receivers catching the ball, landing on a hard field and sliding a half block before they come to a stop. Wish we could get those types of games back. Wouldn't it be great to see at least one game played each year out in the Minnesota cold. Icicles hanging from the coaches, players and fans beards and caps as we cheer the Vikings to a much needed victory.  If I had my choice as to which teams I would like to see in that game it would be one of three, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, or the Greenbay Packers, I miss those days.

I know the outside games most likely won't happen but I vote we get this stadium deal done and move forward with OUR football team. I have been reading all the bleacher reports and vikings news from their home page and it looks like they are making some good moves. Now we have a full coaching staff and a new GM so lets all get behind our team. We are actually in nearly the same situation that Detroit was a couple of years ago. Struggling.

I sometimes feel like I'm a Red Sox fan.  I have waited so long to get the big dance and come away with the prize it feels like it will never happen. But, every fall here I am, with renewed hope and an enthusiastic outlook for the upcoming season.  GO VIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time ...
