The Minnesota House is scheduled to debate and vote on the Vikings stadium proposal today starting at 10 a.m. and thanks to our friends at the Uptake, you can watch it in its entirety right here. Debate on the bill could take all day. It's also possible the Senate make take up the bill.
The stadium bill would expand charitable gambling to help pay for the state's share of construction. Lawmakers have wrangled over specifics throughout the session, with different payment mechanisms—and stadium locations—being proposed. It is widely assumed that the Vikings would leave the state and likely relocate to Los Angeles if a new stadium is not approved.
