State Rep. Terry Morrow says the legislation he's drafted covers the financial questions that have hindered a new stadium plan from moving forward.

The Vikings released new images of the Arden Hills stadium site showcasing a vibrant community of tailgaters. Owners Mark and Zygi Wilf hope to build on the suburban plot and say any other location will yield a smaller financial contribution from the team.

The Minnesota Vikings are beginning a major push for a new stadium in the coming weeks to convince the governor to call a special session. Team VP Lester Bageley tells WCCO-TV the Vikings are negotiating a deal to chip in more than the 400-million dollars they’ve previously committed.

Dayton says he's pushing for the proposed $1 billion stadium to be built in Arden Hills and will have a plan ready on how the state will raise its $300 million share of the bill within the next two weeks. Dayton says he’ll then call a special legislative session by the end of November for lawmakers to vote on the plan.

The veteran who lost both legs in the Iraq war says he missed two years of life with his children and that he's stepping down from politics to spend more time with his family. Kriesel gained fame in the Legislature when he became one of few Republicans to speak out against a move to ban same-sex marriage.

WCCO-TV reports Gov. Mark Dayton says there's no other stadium site in the works if the Ramsey County proposal fails. Vikings officials say it will not renew its lease at the Metrodome without knowing that a new stadium is in the works.
