http://www.thevikingsshoponline.com/Youth-Pat-Elflein-Vikings-Jersey/ . According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, Brodeurs agent Pat Brisson has
spoken to six teams so far regarding the veteran goaltender. MINNEAPOLIS -- The
Minnesota Vikings said Friday they will increase their contribution to a
downtown stadium to more than $500 million to make sure the project has
everything they want as construction of their new home rapidly approaches. The
team had been scheduled to pay $477 million of the stadiums nearly
billion-dollar cost. But bids coming in higher than expected made the Vikings
worry about losing distinctive design features and having to settle for less
than top-end technology, such as ribbon scoreboards and high-definition
televisions in concourses. "The only options were to whack the project, cut
significantly back in the building, step back and redesign and try to redraw to
a lower number or have the team put in more money," team vice-president Lester
Bagley said. "Thats what our owners decided to do." Reconfiguring the stadium
design to significantly cut costs would have delayed the project by a year or
more, officials said. The stadium cost could now top $1 billion -- with $498
million in public money -- if builders need to use the entire pot of available
money. Legislators approved the new stadium to replace the Metrodome out of
concern that the Vikings could leave the state. Ceremonial groundbreaking is set
for early next month, with the projected opening in 2016. John Wood, a senior
executive at Mortenson Construction, said fences will go up around the Metrodome
next week and heavy equipment will be moved in. Orders for steel for the new
stadium will go in soon, with some specialized beams for the see-through roof
coming from Luxembourg. The Vikings play their last game in the Metrodome on
Dec. 29, ending a three--decade run for the Teflon-topped stadium that has
hosted the Super Bowl, the Final Four, the World Series and countless monster
truck rallies.

mid-January. The Vikings were closing on their private financing Friday. They
are using loans, seat license sales, a naming rights deal and other private
revenue streams. The Vikings extra contribution comes in the form of a letter of
credit guaranteed by owner Zygi Wilf, a real estate mogul. The contingency would
be tapped if construction officials cant find savings elsewhere. But the attempt
to shave costs has been unsuccessful so far. Minnesota Sports Facilities
Authority chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen said the rising costs are a sign of an
improving economy. "The good news: Construction is up. The bad news is
construction is up and some of our bids were coming in higher than anticipated,"
she said. Aside from the Vikings $26.4 million letter of credit, the team is
also forgoing $15 million in breaks it was due to receive as part of a deal to
play two seasons at the University of Minnesotas on-campus stadium during
construction. Wood said builders will still look for cost savings as the project
proceeds over the next three years. But he noted that 16,000 man hours went into
designing and pricing out stadium features, so planners are confident they will
keep to the budget, including the contingency accounts. "Its there to spend," he
said. Overall, the materials and labour for the stadium will cost $763 million.
The remainder of the stadium price tag goes for things like architecture, legal
fees and insurance.
