"Monday is game day and its a game we intend to win," says Metropolitian Sports Facility Commission Chair Ted Mondale. The legislative engineers behind the Vikings stadium proposal walked through it for the press on Friday in advance of Monday's scheduled House vote. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said the bill isn't perfect, but is a good example of a "bipartisan group solving a big tough issue." Bill author Senator Julie Rosen (R-Fairmont) says as other lawmakers have examined the bill they tell her it's a good bill. "It will pass. You don't work on a bill this hard to have it fail."
