Minnesota Vikings Set to Get New Stadium

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesota lawmakers approved plans for a nearly $1 billion stadium for the Vikings to keep the National Football League team in Minneapolis for at least another three decades.
The Minnesota House and Senate both passed the bill Thursday, the final day of the legislative session, following more than a year of intense wrangling and threats from the team to leave after more than 50 years in the state. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, one of the biggest proponents of the stadium, has said he will sign it into law.
