Vikings | New Stadium Proposal Shelved-For Now - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
14:08 PT: Kevin Seifert of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Minnesota Vikings owner Red McCombs said getting a new stadium remains a long-term goal for the franchise, but it will not be pursued this legislative session as the state wrestles with a $4.56 billion deficit. Instead, the team will focus on securing lease changes and making proposals to the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission that will allow the club to generate more revenue from the Metrodome.
