Vote on sales tax would 'kill' Vikings stadium project in Arden Hills, lawmaker says

While the state is deciding whether or not to put the question before voters on november 12, 2012, viking officials believe that the county is highly unlikely to vote yes for the vaikings stadium. Also regardless of the vote their would be a large delay prompting the Minnesota vikings to move locations if they were willing. The stadium plan calls for the county to come up with $350 million for the stadium, the state to chip in $300 million and the Vikings $407 million or more. Under state permission the county officials can pay the money without having a public vote. No one is exactly sure how the vote would turn out. Their could be an offer for the vikings to move states which may prompt people to vote yes to the stadium or their could be a large anti-stadium movement do to the high costs and the proposal would get shut down.
