Vikings could have new stadium along Lake Elmo

According to reports, the Minnesota Vikings have several choices of the new stadium’s site, and three of them are along the interstate dividing Lake Elmo and Woodbury. However, it is still early to make a choice as the bill on funding the building is still pending.

Lake Elmo officials confirmed on Monday that they contacted with the Vikings officials earlier this year on the possibility of locating the team’s new stadium in north of Interstate 94. According to city administrator Bruce Messelt, there are four areas in the city available to build up a new professional football stadium, beside the three sites along the interstate, there is a fourth site north of the Eagle Point Business Park. Each of the four sites is big enough to hold the new stadium.

However, Messelt also made it clear that the contract between representatives of Lake Elmo and the Vikings officials on the potential locations had been very limited, and it had been long since their last talks. So Vikings fans still have time to express their opinions on the new site, where they are going to watch Vikings games in Vikings jerseys after the 2011 season.
