Los Angeles vikings ? Doesn't sound very good. Maybe they will change the name like Tennessee did

[hibbingviking]

the negatives are huge if the vikings leave. giving up tax money is nothing. jobs will be lost if the vikings leave and business's will suffer.

[Decker85]

If they move the name will be The Los Angeles Bandwagons.

Can't stand Los Angeles fans and is a big part of why I will no longer be a Viking fan if they move. (even though I live in CA)
Other than I can't be a fan of an organization that abandons such a huge fan base.
Please don't move.

Ok, I'm done with my rant, you all may continue...

and the browns. I can only pray that if they move they change the name so in a few years the vikings will be back in minnesota. just like browns situation.

The Vikings will never be back in Minnesota if they move

I can't seem to figure out the page source so as to post the graphic here, but the following text in white, on a purple background with a yellow band around the perimeter, would greet the scumbag politicians for one month if they can raise sufficient funds to rent the billboard:

50 Years Of Blood, Sweat, and Tears
KEEP OUR VIKINGS HERE!
4 Million Vikings Fans

There is no indication on the site exactly who's running this, but it does say that no sponsorship dollars will be accepted, and that it's a grassroots thing "by the fans, for the fans" in hopes of garnering local media attention.

Here's hoping they pull it off; I harbor no illusions that the politicians will pay any attention, but it can't possibly hurt....

I agree they need to move the jags or chargers that have a smaller fan base and less history . Seems like most minnesotans would rather save there little tax money and let the vikings go

[dead_poet]

Just....sickening.

NEVER!!! SKOL!!!

I would rather stop watching the NFL all together than become a packers fan.

[headless_norseman]

As someone who thinks he follows this issue fairly closely, is the NFL itself throwing in any money for a new stadium? Someone set me straight on this one, thanx

I remember the Rashad Hail Mary from Kramer. The game was not aired in my part of Iowa, so I was a kid listening to it on the radio feeling devastated that we were about to lose, and miss out on the playoffs? - usually people turn the TV or radio off by now, and then........

Where were you when the Hail from Kramer came down?

[PotGoblin]

Here you go.

you should print those up and sale them as bumper stickers for say $10-20 a pop (with all proceeds going to the vikings stadium relief fund)

[VikingLord]

Here you go.

I do remember some of the great moments, but unfortunately it's mostly the tears that stay with me.

They can't let this team leave until it wins a friggin' Superbowl (and before I die). Once they get that out of the way, I'll be officially against public money...

[hibbingviking]

the vikings have a rich history they need to stay in minnesota.
