Re: Vikings Stadium Legislation/Financing Package

I would also agree making this apples to apples is not worth it. But in case your Google is broken :lol: here is what Forbes has to say about NFL Team values as of August 2012 . If you subtract the 22% bump the team got after the stadium deal, the Vikings are dead last in Value and Revenue on this l...

Re: 2024 Olympic Bid?

What's wrong with Sochi? I hear it's the Miami of Russia :)

I don't think there should be any question. The Twin Cities could pull off a 2024 Olympics, and we'd look damn good doing it.

Re: 2024 Olympic Bid?

The sad reality is that the Twin Cities could almost host all of the ice events of a Winter Olympics right now. We just don't have a mountain.
Lutsen could handle the ski portion i believe.

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor

...after all, all transit is subsidized in MSP and the most economical option from a purely bottom-line accounting perspective is to shut it down altogether. If a bus is better than a streetcar simply because it costs less, a walk is better than a bus because it costs nothing. Lol. Immediately got ...

Maybe this isn't the feedback that's being asked for here, but could the default for links be that they open in a new window?

Re: all the empty big boxes

Oldly enough this was on my mind yesterday. I drove by an old empty Walmart, and two blocks later is the new 'Shiny' Walmart.

Re: St. Paul Athletic Club - (340 Cedar St)

After looking at that silly fantasy rendering 3 or 4 times I got to thinking... We should salvage the old JumboTrons out of the HomerDome and hang them in downtown St. Paul :) :) Then the image of Vintage Twins players on that wall could become a reality.
