The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority on Friday hired business executive Rick Evans as its new CEO and executive director.
Interim MSFA chair Kathleen Blatz said in a statement that Evans "will bring a fresh perspective and stability to the authority."
The Minnesota House has approved a measure that will abolish the authority, which runs U.S. Bank Stadium, and set up a new board, in the wake of a monthslong scandal over operations at the new stadium.
Evans' background includes work with Metris Companies and Green Tree Financial. He was an assistant attorney general for 10 years and the first executive director of the Minnesota Racing Commission.
