MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings say the organization
has reached a tentative deal with the University of Minnesota on
how much the team will pay to use TCF Stadium while a new Vikings
stadium is being built.
Vikings spokesman Lester Bagley declined to name a dollar
amount, but said the "agreement in principle" would add about
3,000 temporary end zone seats to the 50,000-seat stadium. Bagley
says other details need to be resolved before both parties sign off
on the deal.
The Star Tribune says the Vikings paid
$1.7 million to play a game at TCF Stadium after the Metrodome roof
collapsed in December 2010.
