Hack, flack: Vikes could share expanded U of M stadium
Former Minnesota senate leader Dean Johnson, now a University of Minnesota regent, says he has an idea for the Vikings if their bid for a new stadium keeps going nowhere: Expand the university's new football stadium to 80,000 seats, and let the Vikings share it. Making this more notable is where the idea was floated: in the column of Minneapolis Star Tribune writer Sid Hartman, who has long been a mouthpiece for local teams' stadium demands. Hartman even mentioned the "uncertain economy" as a possible obstacle to a new Vikes-only stadium - could team owner Zygi Wilf be floating a fallback option in case the economy continues to tank?
