Look quickly at this picture...
Does it look familiar?
(Insert your Vikings stadium joke here.)

Never tell me the odds.
It'll make point five past lightspeed. It may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts, kid.
That's no stadium. It's a space station.
Does Dayton play the roll of Obi Wan Kenobi or Darth Vader?
(since no one else has yet...)
IT'S A TRAP!!!
Great, kid! Now don't get to Favre-y!
Great, kid. Don't get cocky!
I would opt instead for it looking more like the side of a Borg cube.
"Resistance is futile. We will assimilate you."
"This deal is getting worse all the time! "
It's not my fault!
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
Gambling money subsidies for millionaires and billionaires but not for education. The roman circus and dumbing down are well and alive.
The deal has not passed the legislature.
“I think you overestimate their chances.”
Bob, thought you might like to know that I caught Ted Mondale on Pat Reusse's radio show (a bit past noon) and they were peppering him with questions about stadium placement and other design stuff. Might be worth a listen assuming the entire show is made available for streaming/download later today (and you can put up with Reusse's speech patterns... LOL).
I love how many "Star Wars" quotes are here. Bob- Your News Cut readers....we're all a big bunch of nerds.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
// we're all a big bunch of nerds.
My ability to put food on the table depends on it.
Zygi Calrissian: "The Aluminum...err...Millenium Falcon?! That wasn't part of the deal!"
Darth Dayton: "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further!"
This is the best distraction from work EVER:)
Bob: "Note to self: When ever I need to get more hits, post something about Star Wars. That'll get 'em commenting!"
"This is not the stadium you are looking for..."
This taxpayer unit has a bad motivator.

It all depends on who paid for his campaign funding.
Any attack made by the Rebels against this stadium would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This stadium is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!
You know, that little stadium is going to cause me a lot of trouble.
This is some stadium rescue, you came in here but you didn’t have a plan for financing it? Into the garbage chute fly-boy!
Geez, I'm out of it for a little while, and everyone has delusions of grandeur.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of taxpayer voices suddenly cried out in frustration and were suddenly ignored. I fear something terrible has happened.
Aren't you a little short for a stadium?
I suggest they legalize Cannabis and with the revenue and economic stimulus generated from that small motion of legalizing...
then
and only
then
consider-CONSIDER-
a stadium.
NOT Lucy: That post was off topic.
This is not the blog you're looking for.
Mark Dayton: Afraid I was gonna build a stadium without giving you a goodbye kiss?
MN taxpayers: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee.
@ kennedy
(blog police?)
ok, then, I'll make a funny:
"Hey, maybe we can fund the stadium
through sucking more revenue out of the government like charter schools and 'non-profits' that service them do? We can word the new bill with just the right wording to allow for all kinds of criminal-minded loop holes."
It's a win-win in that it will allow for one more step closer to privitization!
