Session 2005: Stadiums
Arizona businessman and ex-professional and college football player Reggie Fowler agreed to buy the Minnesota Vikings for $625 million in a deal announced Monday. The National Football League still has to approve the sale. Will Fowler have better luck convincing the people of Minnesota to help build him a new stadium than present owner Red McCombs has?

Reggie Fowler may have struck a tentative deal to buy the Minnesota Vikings, but that doesn't mean he'll be so lucky at the state Capitol. The Vikings have been seeking state support to build a $600 million football stadium for the past several years. So far those efforts have all failed, and lawmakers say a change in ownership is not likely to shift the dynamics.

Even though it doesn't have full financing in
place, the University of Minnesota took a bold step this week
toward bringing Gopher football to a new on-campus stadium.
