Many downtown Mpls restaurants OK with sales taxes for stadium

Many downtown Mpls restaurants OK with sales taxes for stadium

If the Vikings stadium bill unveiled Friday becomes law, downtown Minneapolis restaurant patrons will pick up part of the tab for the new facility. The plan taps a set of existing Minneapolis sales taxes that currently support the city's Convention Center. But many downtown restaurateurs say they don't mind the taxes if it means the Vikings will stay in Minneapolis.

As Vikings stadium bill is unveiled, even supporters raise questions

The debate over a Vikings stadium will finally begin in earnest next week at the State Capitol, as legislative supporters officially introduce a bill outlining the details of how it will be built and who will pay for it.

Jablonski cheers as Benilde-St. Margaret's beats Edina

The boys high school hockey tournament in St. Paul is down to four teams in the class 2A semi-finals. One team fans have been keeping an especially close eye on is Benilde-St. Margaret's. That's because one of the players - 16-year-old Jack Jablonski - was paralyzed after he was checked from behind during a game in December. Last night Benilde's Red Knights upset Edina 3-2. And Jablonski was there to cheer them on.
