I could argue that the "best deal" for Minneapolis taxpayers would
be for St. Paul (or Bloomington or Brooklyn Park) to "win" the stadium
bidding war.
I could get to any of those locations nearly as fast as going
downtown to the current stadium. But taxpayers from there would be the
ones paying for the stadium. And it's quite possible that the current
stadium would be demolished, and probably replaced with housing &
commercial property (as David Brauer mentioned a while ago), which would
pay tax money in to the city of Minneapolis.
So let's all push for a new stadium to go outside Minneapolis!
