The Duluth Vikings? That's the vision of
a Duluth state senator who says his city would be ideal for a new
Minnesota Vikings stadium.


      Actually, Sen. Roger Reinert says the proposal he
gave Gov. Mark Dayton Thursday would keep the Minnesota Vikings
name. The Democrat's proposal is a long shot at the Capitol, where
the stadium effort is focused on rebuilding downtown Minneapolis.


      Reinert says a 500-acre site southwest of the city's downtown
and along the St. Louis River is perfect. He points out that the
Green Bay Packers are about as far from the much larger Milwaukee
media market as Duluth is from the Twin Cities.


      Reinert says a Duluth stadium could be partly funded by new tax
revenue from lifting Minnesota's Sunday restriction on liquor
sales.
