The Metrodome hinders the amount of revenue which could be generated by the vikings. The current Metrodome, has ZERO dollars contributed to it from the state of MN, however, the State has received near $340 million in taxed revenue, of which $320 has gone directly into the general fund.

The Vikings pay the MSFC 9.5 percent of its ticket sales; the commission "reserves all rights to sell or lease advertising in any part of the Stadium" and the team cannot use the scoreboard for any ads and does not control naming rights for the building; the commission controls the limited parking and its revenue; and the commission pays the team 10 percent of all concession sales, which in 2004 and 2005, amounted to just over half a million for the team each year while the MSFC takes roughly 35 percent of concessions sold during Vikings games. The Vikings were 30th out of 32 NFL teams in local revenues in 2005.The Vikings, as well as the stadium's other tenants, have continually turned down any proposals for renovating the Metrodome. The lease is considered one of the least lucrative among NFL teams; it includes provisions where the commission owns the stadium.

The stadium is the ninth oldest stadium in the National Football League (to not be fully renovated like many others which were constructed prior to the dome but are much superior venues) It has one of the lowest seating capacities. With the passage of time, Metrodome has been thought to be an increasingly poor fit for all three of its major tenants (the Twins, the Vikings and the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football team). These tenants have all said that the Dome is nearing the end of its useful lifespan.

  • Just move the Vikings already. It's clear they won't be able to work things out. Minnesota can keep the name. LA here we come!

  • @thinkbluedodgerblue -- The LA idea is not even that serious of an issue. NFL does not want the team to move, Vikings have never said they would move there and the plans for development etc also are not approved. You are an idiot just like the rest of the people who believe LA Vikings is even a viable option.... not going to happen'

  • Skol. The franchise means too much to this great state. The Vikings have showcased some of the most talented players in NFL history over the years, and the fans have responded with countless sellouts along the way. This is truly Vikings country.

  • @Raidernation4life76 what does this have to do with the Vikings getting a new stadium? Why are you wasting your time watching this video if you hate the Vikings? Stupid Faider thugs...

  • I really hope the Wilfs will find a way to get his wish in Arden Hills instead of focusing on the Dome site. Gov. Dayton really needs to get out of bed with RT Rybak and back the Arden Hills site. Seriously the Vikings need to get out of Minneapolis, they haven't done shit for the past 10 years, too many stupid politicians who are whining about tax increase. All they care about is getting re-elected. Don't give up on Ramsey County, Vikings!!!! Keep fighting for it
