Don't get me wrong, I see both sides of the argument. And I can't be bothered to follow it in depth, because while it affects my favorite NFL team. I don't live in Minnesota and the decisions made don't really affect me personally. So I don't follow the whole circus that has been going on all that closely.

But I can see Mr. Wilf moving the team if an agreement for a new stadium isn't reached at some point soon.
