A financial review shows Minnesota Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf are able to pay their share of the $1 billion cost for the team's new downtown Minneapolis stadium, officials with the public authority that's managing the project said Friday. The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority hired attorneys and forensic accountants to review the New Jersey-based businessmen's finances after a judge there ruled last month they committed fraud in an unrelated real estate deal. That judge has not yet ruled on damages, but officials in Minnesota were concerned that heavy penalties could interfere with the Wilfs' ability to produce their $477 million share for the new stadium. Minneapolis attorney Peter Carter, who led the review, said that even if the judge levies the heaviest possible fines, the Wilfs should still be good for the stadium money.
