The Minnesota Vikings vehemently rejected a proposal from their landlord to extend their lease at the Metrodome, telling the stadium’s operator in a letter on Wednesday its plan threatens the team’s future in the state. Owner Zygi Wilf and president Mark Wilf co-signed a sharply worded letter addressed to Thatcher, saying the organization was “shocked, exasperated and extremely disappointed†by the “flawed revenue relief†proposal. It was delivered Wednesday, Bagley said. “This action was a cynical attempt to advance a ‘proposal’ that you know is totally unacceptable to the Minnesota Vikings and fails to address the issues important to both the short-term and long-term success of this franchise in Minnesota,†the letter read.

The Vikings have the one of (if not the worst) revenue streams from their stadium in the NFL. I'm still hopeful that they can get a new deal setup in MN.
eh, this is all just negotiations......... how much money can Wilf get out of the taxpayers/local government? how much will Wilf need to put up front of his own money? etc., etc.
