Hey STV.org supporters! Things are looking good on the field with the Vikings going 8-1 after the bye week! I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on what is happening off the field with the Stadium issue.

The biggest news to report is that your efforts are working! Just last week, Margaret Kelliher, gubernatorial candidate proposed what she calls a “Purple Ribbon” panel be formed to discuss the stadium issue regarding the Minnesota Vikings.

Kelliher’s spokesman was quoted by the Star Tribune: "More and more Minnesotans are asking about the stadium situation," said Andrew Wittenborg, a spokesman for the House Speaker, a DFLer from Minneapolis.  "We really need a public place to talk about what happens next."

Let’s keep up the emails to our Representatives, Senators and Governor which will show the public and fans desire to keep the Vikings in Minnesota by building a new stadium! Information on finding your State leaders contact info and a letter to send at www.savethevikes.org/huddle-up/ Takes about 5 clicks and less than 5 minutes to make a positive impact and it DOESN’T cost you a cent!
