Stadium deal to be announced at 9am

Sounds promising but holy moly is there still a ton of questions about financing. Guess I should just hope the news conference actually takes place (baby steps to 9am, baby steps to 9am)

So stoked to hear what's up.

Wilf just said this stadium was is a step towards getting MLS.

Third mention of an MLS team!

Was trying to find field dimensions of Lucas Oil Field and missed what Ted Mondale said about MLS, bringing a team to Minnesota would be in the bill?

Viking revenue goes to the Vikes but reveune from MLS would go to stadium council?

PEOPLES TEAM.

Well there's a great incentive for the Wilfs to invest in the team/marketing.

Edit: came across very negative. I don't intend that to be the case; I actually think that is not a bad way of handling things, although I'd like to see the Vikings themselves give more back since they're the primary beneficiaries.

No, it's actually that all non-vikings and non-soccer revenue goes to the state.

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.
