Re: New Minneapolis Stadiums
We got by for 30 years on the cheap with the Metrodome, but we are definitely paying for it now. The financing of pro sports stadiums is crazy. I agree with you that the Timberwolves and the Wild should be able to share a stadium. The Vikings and Gophers could not come to a deal because the Gophers ...

Re: New Minneapolis Stadiums
Here is a link to a virtual fly-through of the new Vikings stadium and also another link to additional exterior and interior renderings. What's most exciting is the $400 million downtown east development in front of the stadium which has also broke ground. This project includes a 4 acre urban park, ...

That's right. Â The Vikings do not have a stadium site, but are paying for a study in downtown Minneapolis in the area around the Metrodome. Â It will be a hard sell to the legislature. Â Hennepin County is already paying a separate sales tax to pay the public portion of the Twins stadium and the St...

The traffic congestion up here is awful. I commute up I-35 about 10 miles everyday from Lakeville to Bloomington and there is always a slow down/standstill because of congestion. The other problem is that only two lanes of I-35 are open to unrestricted traffic heading north to downtown Minneapolis. ...

That statute only applies to Omaha, because it is the only metropolitan class city in Nebraska (over 300,000). Elkhorn's annexation statute is 16-117. Its procedures are somewhat different and its power is more limited. For instance, Elkhorn cannot annex agricultural land which is rural in character...

The problem with Crossroads is that it is only a mile or so from Westroads. Omaha suffers from the location of its malls, more than anything.
