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?
Lutsen could handle the ski portion i believe.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.

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor

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 ...

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. Are cities that house these stores held hostage by their jobs and taxes such that they can't request even slight remediation before the store builds new and abandons their ol...

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.
