Vikings stadium bill's first stop is House committee
Legislation to finance a new Minnesota Vikings stadium will be heard Tuesday in a House committee, as supporters race to find votes for the bill with just two weeks remaining in the 2010 legislative session.
With time running out before the end of the legislative session, stadium proponents submit a plan for a publicly-financed football stadium.
There are plans afoot at the Legislature to introduce a bill next week that would be the first step toward building a new stadium for the Minnesota Vikings.

When the Minnesota Vikings open rookie camp later this week, one of the new players will be a former Minnesota Gopher. Nate Triplett is a linebacker who the Vikes drafted this weekend in the 5th round. He was the Gopher's second-leading tackler last year. His Minnesota roots go even deeper than the U campus. He's a graduate from Delano high school.

The first round of the NFL draft is tonight. One question looming over Minnesota Vikings officials is whether 40-year-old quarterback Brett Favre will return for next season, and whether the team should draft a quarterback.
