Vikes May Not Purchase Land For Stadium

Minneapolis, MN (AP) - It appears the Vikings aren't making much
progress in their effort to build a new stadium in downtown
Minneapolis.
The Star Tribune reports that today was the deadline for
submitting bids on the newspaper's re-listed property, and the
Vikings aren't saying whether they still want some of it for a
stadium.
Vikings owner Zygi Wilf agreed to buy some land near the
Metrodome but backed out because of the poor real estate market.
Team vice president Lester Bagley declined to say whether Wilf
made another offer. But Bagley says the economic slump and the
stadium project's stalemate at the Legislature have made the land
less appealing to Wilf.
A Star Tribune spokesman declined to comment on the bidding
process.
