NFL executive Eric Grubman met this afternoon with Gov. Mark Dayton and is now briefing reporters on how the NFL views the current situation for a new Vikings football stadium.

We're watching tweets now from reporters and Vikings stadium supporters. We'll keep updating this post with comments. Here's what we have now:

Tom Hauser, KSTP: NFL's Grubman says "probability" of Vikings moving now is small....but possibility will grow quickly if "no probability of a stadium."... league is worried about a "stalemate."

Also from Hauser:
