In other news, I am meeting up with some MN legislators for drinks this week. I will press for details. I have a hunch this bill will mot fet passed during the current session and will require a special session.

Getting back to the turf debate, why is it they cannot grow grass indoors. America has a long history of growing some extremely powerful weeds inside. For as anti-drugs as I am, I would support an amendment to the stadium bill to enlist the belp of all weed cultivators to help grow grass indoors. There would then be an exemption for them to grow all the dope they want. Just a thought. Grow lights cost a ton to run. It works out financially when you are are growing high profit margin cash crops, but not just to grow grass indoors.

You would hope common sense prevails and they have a retractible roof. I think a DT Minneapolis sight is great. Lots of nereby parking, near/on a ton of rransit lines, close to hotels and great DT resturants.

I keep looking for field dimensions for Lucas Oil Stadium since that was mentioned as an example of what the new stadium would be like. I know, they could be refering to just the design and what not but still thought I'd look up the dimensions. All I got was this from bigsoccer:
~An interesting fact about the new Lucas Oil Stadium. The field can be expanded to fit a FIFA-regulation soccer pitch. Whether that is for some friendlies or a future World Cup being held here, it is still interesting that a soccer-less town would make a football stadium that has movable seats to accomidate soccer.
matthew was right about the FIFA fit: "Lucas Oil Stadium is capable of hosting a FIFA soccer event with a field that would be 68 meters wide x 105 meters in length. I hope this information is helpful to you. Have a great day! Heidi Mallin Special Services/Public Information Coordinator Lucas Oil Stadium "

Well, the great stadium bill our governor put together failed to meet the committee "deadline" today. In other words, the bill is essentially dead. That means a special session is going to be necessary.
Lets keep the phone ringing at the State Capitol!

We really need to generate some more calls, e-mails and letters to our legislators on the Vikings Stadium Bill [s][/s] . I think that a special session is not even a question if they cannot make any progress. Pfutz put together a great sample letter, which is posted on this thread. Remember to send it to your STATE representative and senator. CAVEAT: Your current rep/senator may not be your "new" rep/senator after the November elections. Be sure to not only let the incumbent (if applicable) know your position, but also the opponent.

Well, it looks like the Vikes will need a special session if this things gets done this year. Curses to all of them!
