Dayton says stadium bill might have to wait until next year

Gov. Mark Dayton, the Capitol's No. 1 Vikings stadium supporter, said if the project doesn't make it to the finish line this year, it must succeed in 2013.

"We've got to get a stadium next year or the Vikings will leave," Dayton said at a morning news conference, following a meeting with legislative leaders. While he said he holds out some hope of reviving the project this session, he is beginning to think in terms of next year.

"If we don't get it this session, we will get it next session," he said.

On Monday night, the House Government Operations and Elections Committee voted down the project by a 9-6 vote. With perhaps as little as two weeks left in the session, the project has yet to show signs of life.

If they lose that team, Vikes fans will really hate the Saints for robbing them of what they think was their last, best chance to get a Lombardi.
