As Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s stadium committee charges ahead with picking new stadium plans for the Twins and Vikings, a new poll of Minnesota residents shows that most think the entire exercise is a waste of time. According to the Star Tribune poll, Minnesotans oppose a new home for the Twins by a 52-42 percent margin, with just 36% saying they’d spend any tax money on a Twins stadium; less than a third of those polled think the Vikings should get new digs at all, let alone at taxpayer expense.

Neil, would you please provide an updated link to your source. I am doing an analysis of the Vikings stadium (unfortunately also a fan) for a class and would love to cite your source directly. Thanks.
That’s all I have, sorry – the Star Trib must have killed the link. If you have Nexis access through your school, try searching the Minneapolis Star Tribune for “stadium” on or about 1/5/04.
