Vikings, University Unveil Stadium Plan

MINNEAPOLIS-The Minnesota Vikings and the University of Minnesotahave agreed on a plan to build a new football stadium on the university’s campus. At 1.7 million sf, the proposed stadium would be twice the size of the Metrodome, where both football teams now play.

The 68,500-seat stadium is expected to cost between $450 million and $500 million. Under the Vikings’ suggested plan, Vikings owner Red McCombs would pay $100 million, the National Football League would pay $51.5million, with the rest coming in some way from public funds.
