A War Up North
Posted on Nov 20, 2009 under Uncategorized |
In the NFC North, one of the big teams is the Minnesota Vikings. This year has been especially exciting for them, because Brett Favre is leading them far with only a loss or two under their belts so far. So it came as a bit of a surprise this week when the discussion up there became heated. Usually when a team is so dominant, it’s not nearly as big a deal when little conflicts come up. But their lease in the Metrodome will be running out at the end of next year. When they renew, they will, apparently, not get the good low rent deal that they have had for many years. And the team admin isn’t happy about it, saying that they should then get a new stadium from the city. The city doesn’t seem to keen on that, since they are already financing much of the Twins’ new stadium starting next season. This leaves the Vikings with the option to leave and head somewhere else, like Los Angeles, who don’t have a team at all. The Los Angeles Vikings. Sounds fitting, right?
