ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf and his allies say they see nothing in a critical analysis of their plan to build a new stadium that would stop the project.
Wilf joined two Ramsey County board commissioners at a news conference Wednesday after the release of the analysis. The Metropolitan Council report raised concerns about delays and cost overruns on the $1.1 billion proposal to build the stadium in the Twin Cities suburb of Arden Hills.
Wilf didn’t close the door on the Vikings paying more than the $407 million they have pledged.
And commissioners Tony Bennett and Rafael Ortega say they think the issues can be addressed. They say they don’t think the county will have to go above its $350 million share envisioned earlier.
