Here are some key messages you can give to your legislators:
1) The Vikings are an important state asset; they belong in Minnesota, and the stadium issue must be resolved in 2009.
2) I support the plan to build a new stadium to replace the Metrodome and provide a new home for Minnesota Vikings football because it will solve the teams stadium issue, boost our states economy and re-energize the Downtown East area of Minneapolis.
3) The state needs a multi-purpose, climate-controlled facility to host year-round events.
4) The Vikings plan includes a new Winter Garden light rail train station that will connect the future Central Corridor LRT and the existing Hiawatha LRT, allowing 60,000+ riders a day to connect at the new stadium site.
5) The legislature has solved stadium issues for the Minnesota Wild, the Minnesota Twins and the University of Minnesota. It is time to resolve the remaining stadium issue. |
