Not bad.....not bad at all.....
The Minnesota Vikings have paid off their debt on U.S. Bank Stadium 23 years early — a move that will save Minnesota taxpayers $226 million in interest.

I remember the uproar and angst from some Minnesotans over this when it happened with the pull tabs. Worked even better than forecasted. But those people will never acknowledge it, lol. They'll just wait for the next thing to shit on.
Great looking stadium. How much in repair costs already?

I'd say the Wilfs deserve a big pat on the back for the whole stadium deal. They kicked in more than most owners for their share and the stadium was paid off 23 years early... pretty much a win win for all parties.

And a stadium that is on bucket lists, building a fan culture to rival the some of the best.

I think the biggest pat on the back I reserve for is the Governor whose watch this finally got done; Mark Dayton...Pawlenty, Ventura and many b4 him all told McCombs to go pound sand.

Hat tip to all who brought an agreement for a new stadium into fruition!
I am very happy that McCombs was not the owner when a new stadium was built. The Wilfs are a much better ownership group.
Electronic pull tabs? I don't think so!
They paid it off early with daily garbage truck loads of dead birds to the cat food factories. Watch closely and you will see garbage trucks in and out of there daily!
Given all the birds killed by windmills in this country, I'm surprised there are any left.
You ever notice all the cats hanging around the stadium?
