Maybe.
Earlier this afternoon the City of Eden Prairie and the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce released a joint news release announcing a joint effort to facilitate the development of the new Vikings’ football stadium in Eden Prairie.
Read what the Star Tribune had to say. However, Eden Prairie News gave the story more depth.
No. We do not have the financial solution for this project. At this point, I have not heard of anyone who has the financial solution for this project. But, if we don’t toss our name in the ring sometime, I’m afraid we might miss an opportunity to keep the Vikings in town.
The Vikings are an Eden Prairie company. I believe City officials would be remiss if we did not at least try to keep them in Eden Prairie. That’s what we would do for any other Eden Prairie business.
This is a long, long road. City, County, and State officials must all reach consensus, and then reach consensus with the ownership team of the Vikings, for this effort to ultimately be successful.
We’ll give it a try. We’ll do our best.
Skol Vikings,
