Ramsey County, Vikings announce stadium plan in Arden Hills by The Sports Network
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) – The Minnesota Vikings took a big step toward getting a new stadium on Tuesday.
Ramsey County officials have reached an agreement with the Vikings to be the team’s local partner in the effort to secure a new stadium in Minnesota.
The 260-acre site of the new retractable-roof, multi-purpose facility will be the former Twin Cities Army Ammunitions Plant (TCAAP) property in Arden Hills.
“Reaching an agreement with Ramsey County as our local partner is a major milestone in our efforts to finalize a long-term stadium solution, and we are pleased to have found such a strong and forthright partner,” said Zygi Wilf, Vikings owner and chairman. “While we certainly appreciate the proposal by the City of Minneapolis, as well as the recent efforts by Hennepin County, we believe the Ramsey County site offers the most benefits to our fans, the team and the State and is the ideal site for a new stadium.”
The Vikings hope to host large-scale events like European and Major League Soccer, the NCAA Final Four, college football Bowl games and a Super Bowl in the new stadium.
“With a local partner and a site locked in, we can now focus on working with legislators and the governor to pass a stadium bill that secures the long-term future of the Vikings in Minnesota and supports thousands of much-needed jobs,” said Mark Wilf, Vikings owner and president. “We look forward to working with State leaders to determine the State’s contribution.”
The stadium project is estimated to support 13,000 full and part-time jobs, including 7,500 construction jobs during the three-year construction period.
The stadium bill was introduced in the House and Senate in April, and the first committee hearings are expected to be scheduled soon.
The Vikings played in Metropolitan Stadium from their 1961 inception through the end of the 1981 season. The club has called the Metrodome home since 1982. Concerns over the feasibility of a new stadium were intensified when the Vikes were forced out of the domed arena due to a snowstorm in mid-December which caused the roof to tear and deflate.
