The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority and the Vikings are going to unveil more about their plan to get about $125 million out of fans before the new stadium even opens in 2016.

A release says the discussion will include "SBL pricing, financing options and transitional plans for Vikings season Ticket Members."
