Fer sure. Nice to have some place to vote though. You know we never gonna see one on a ballot. Maybe somebody should add LA as the location though. I would vote for that.

That's a old rumor, The Jaguars will most likely end up in L.A considering they can barley sell out games Vikings haven't had a blackout since 97. Most of the people you hear saying "move the queens to la" are bandwagon fans who expect a team to not have a single bad season

Jaguars will almost certainly not be a candidate to be moving to LA.

If they were to break their lease which runs through the 2029/2030 season, it would cost the team about $125M in penalties such as rent, parking and ticket surcharge fees. While there are attendance and revenue performance clauses that would diminish (by 40%) those penalties, those clauses also would require that the team (and likely the other teams) "open" their books which the NFL has never allowed to happen in the past.

With San Fran getting their new stadium near San Jose and Oakland likely to join them, the field of candidates are getting quite small and the Vikings are the only one seemingly without a lease commitment for next year.

Weird i though there lease expired soon, i guess thats a old rumor to lol
Anyway the Vikings seem to have no interest in any of the L.A. stadiums, even though im surprised they already approved on the construction of Farmers Field but we take years to decide where and if to build. It was cool to see Shakopee step up and show support but traffic on the 169 bridge would be horrible.

I say just build the friggin stadium in Arden Hills already!
Put some unused land to use, plus they have no choice but to improve the horrible freeways in that area. Plus we can get that ugly dome out of Downtown east and hopefully build a city park

I've heard nothing to suggest that the metrodome would come down if any other sites were used, and I'd virtually guarantee that if it did come down, it wouldn't be to replace it with a city park.

When the Arden Hills stadium gets built, the Metrodome will most likely come down, there is no reason to keep a vacant stadium downtown
