MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Wait, the bill is going to the governor...so now he can take out the extra $50,000,000 the vikes need to pay, because if that stays in there the team is 100% moving to LA. Right tJYD?

It's a done deal no matter what. Right tJYD?

Gov. Dayton already said his peace in the committee chambers jackass, like he said. Now, from all the reports I have heard, the Vikings agreed to 50 million more just to get the bill done before the session ends, which hints that if they had more time, they would have probably fought it to take it down even more from what the House wanted.

You said the vikings would not pay more than they agreed to, and if they had to they were gone. WRONG.

You said if that extra money stayed in there the governor would take it out. WRONG.

You said Farmers Field was getting built no matter what. WRONG.

You should just quit when you're really really far behind.

A question for the people in this thread who actually know something...that Farmers field concept looks like it's open air. how the hell are they expecting to get the final four if thats truly what it is?

No, we're only too lazy. I think he's accusing you of being stupid. You're definitely not lazy though, so good job.

Just because they put out a promo video doesn't mean that building the stadium is a done deal. AEG has said that in order to make the stadium worth their investment that they need to own at least part of a NFL team. Until that happens there will be no Farmers Field. I think that eventually the Chargers will move and AEG will buy a minority share in the team, but that video doesn't mean jack shit.

"The key to Farmers Field beginning construction hinges on AEG purchasing a minority or majority stake in an NFL team and moving the team to Los Angeles. The biggest hurdle AEG has encountered and will continue to encounter in this process is they want to buy into an NFL team for what it is currently valued at while teams don't want to sell to them for anything less than what the team will be valued at once they actually do move to Los Angeles."

"I understand NFL teams have a perception of the value of their franchises and we respect that," Leiweke said. "I also understand that for us to make some rate of return on a $1 billion private investment, something that only one other owner has done in the history in the NFL, we have to own a piece of the asset. If you go to (New England Patriots owner) Bob Kraft and you ask him why he privatized Gillette Stadium, what he'll tell you is he owned the team and the increase in value of the team made that risk worthwhile. We're not saying we have to own 100 percent of the team but we have to own a substantial piece of the team and we have to buy it at a valuation before the risk, not after the risk or else there is no upside to compensate us for the risk we took on the $1 billion stadium. That's all this is about. Period. That's the entire issue we will be facing here once we get the EIR done."

Here's the thing, how about you set your Twitter app to follow stories like "Vikings Stadium House" or "FSU Big 12", and you read your tweets hourly. Unless your are a complete moron, it isn't hard to do. It isn't also that hard to GOOGLE items. Some thing can't be linked because it was said on TV and/or Radio, but apparently ChiTown Badger thinks EVERYTHING has to have a link to be true.

I don't think that. It's just that you personally throw a lot of "facts" out there, and never seem to have the information to back it up. I get the sense that you like to be the guy with all the breaking news, and that's fine, but if you want to act like mr. insider and not give any details, be prepared for people like me to enjoy calling you out when you're wrong all the time.

Some things I can't give details because there are no links, and that is the way it is. If I am wrong, I am wrong, but I don't just throw stuff out there to see if it sticks. I'm not an insider or never claim to be, I just know that many people such as yourself don't like to google everything and twitter everything and listen to 50 different radio station and check out hundreds of message boards on a weekly basis to get info.

This process has been so corrupt. Kickbacks galore in the pockets of Minneapolis civic authorities and state lawmakers.

I have no evidence of this except I'm in ND and apaarently the largest city in North Dakota is St. Paul.

no...they have lives

First: I love reading old tJYD threads. If I could bet against anything he predicts will happen, I would.

Second: AEG is being sold. Some think it means getting an NFL team to LA is easier (if AEG is bought by the right person,Soon-Shiong ) while some aren't so sure.
