ARDEN HILLS, Minn. (AP) — A Ramsey County commissioner says a new plan for a Minnesota Vikings stadium in Arden Hills is a "game changer" because it relies on user fees instead of a county food and liquor sales tax.
ARDEN HILLS, Minn. (AP) — A Ramsey County commissioner says a new plan for a Minnesota Vikings stadium in Arden Hills is a "game changer" because it relies on user fees instead of a county food and liquor sales tax.
Tony Bennett made his remarks on a day when he met with Gov. Mark Dayton at the Capitol. Dayton didn't comment after the meeting.
The latest Ramsey proposal would raise an estimated $20.6 million annually from parking fees, admissions surcharges and a stadium sales tax in addition to parking lot naming rights and other provisions.
Supporters of a new stadium are trying to come up with a workable plan to pay for the $1 billion project in Arden Hills, a location the Vikings prefer. The city of Minneapolis is also vying for the stadium.
