Gov. Mark Dayton and some state lawmakers say they're open to the idea of using state legacy amendment funds to help finance a new Vikings stadium. But others object. The Minnesota Historical Society says the idea is contrary to the amendment's language. That language says proceeds from the arts and cultural fund "may be spent only on arts, arts education and arts access to preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage."
Field is wide open for stadium proposals
Gov. Mark Dayton's openness to entertaining stadium proposals has set off a lobbying frenzy aimed at convincing the governor to accept — or reject — ideas as varied as to where a stadium should be located, how to pay for, who should pay for it, or even if a new stadium is necessary.
Jobs a key issue in Vikings stadium debate
Supporters of a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings say the jobs it will create are a key benefit. They say the stadium will help bolster a struggling construction sector.
There's less than a month left before Gov. Mark Dayton's deadline to resolve the Minnesota Vikings stadium issue. A solid week of talks have helped to develop a better picture of how a deal might be reached.
