St Paul, MN - It was a big day for Vikings owner and New Jersey real estate developer Zygi Wilf at the State Capitol, Jan. 12, when plans were submitted by the City of Minneapolis, Ramsey County and others for a new Vikings football stadium. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton set Jan. 12 as a deadline for Vikings stadium plans to be considered at the upcoming legislative session. Wilf insists that the public pick up most of the tab for a new stadium
Linden Gawboy, of the Welfare Rights Committee and the Minnesota Coalition for a People Bailout, blasted the plans for a publicly financed stadium, saying, “If the rich want stadiums they should pay for them. There is no good reason why poor and working people should pay Wilf’s bill.”
She also urged people to attend a Jan. 24 rally at the State Capitol that coincides with the opening of the legislative session. The noon protest will demand more taxes on the rich, a moratorium on home foreclosures and no cuts to programs that serve working and low-income Minnesotans.

beware stadium - stealing taxpayer dollars by RICH 1 %
The same thing happened with the Seattle Seahawks' stadium about 10 year ago. It was exposed by Seattle Weekly journalist Rick Anderson. You can watch a interview here:

The construction company that built the stadium (Turner) has also been accused of using slave labor from India to build the now tallest standing structure, the Burj Dubai. These Indians (from the nation of India) were treated very poorly and when they attempted to resist they were deported. You can read more about this here:

The stadium in Seattle was basically bilked of the taxpayer dime from people who were already billionaires. "Why spend my money when I can use yours," they must have thought? There are also very strange esoteric symbols affixed to the stadium here now called "C-Link field."
