Q and A-Two Questions

Only two topics of real intrest. Blogging will be more limited till the season starts.


Q: What do you make of the Vikings stadium situation?

A: It will get taken care of in the next three years. There is no way the state lets the Vikings leave. Thier popularity with TV ratings is off the charts. All legislators in swing districts that allowed it would be voted out of office.

A new Vikings stadium would enhance the fan experience in several ways. 1. Unlimited space for tailgating as opposed to the limited options at the dome. 2. Wider concourses-it takes fifteen minutes to exit at the end of a game. 3. More bathrooms, so fans miss less of the game. 4. More food choices at concessions. 4. Better seats- wider and perhaps more comfortable.

A new Vikings stadium would help the team by increasing revenue with more suites, and increased parking revenue for the team.

A new Vikings stadium would help Anoka County by 1. A 1.6 billion dollar public works project.
2. A possible Super Bowl which would bring hundreds and millions of dollars to the community. 3. The shoping associated with Northern Lights. 4. Off-season concerts. 5. Increased property value for those in the area.

A Viking stadium solution is needed in the Minnesota State Legislature in 2007 for these reasons.

Q: What do you make of the Vikings Mini-Camp

A: I am surpised that Napoleon Harris is the First Team-Middle Linebacker. Harris seems to lack the insticts in pass coverage to be a successful Cover 2 LB. One thing that should be noted about Harris is that he had his most successful season in Oakland under current Vikings LB coach Fred Pagac. The Vikings seemed to heap a lot of praise on QB-Tavaris Jackson, especially Ryan Hoag and Koren Robinson. But a big-armed mobile QB like Jackson is the type of player who would shine in shorts, so that doesn't really tell us anything.
