L.A. needs to build NFL stadium now

The Metrodome, in downtown Minneapolis, became the world's largest snow globe on Sunday. All it needed was Santa Claus and some reindeer.

And suddenly you heard no one questioning how sane it was to build an outdoor baseball stadium in the North Country, where to buy Discount NFL Jerseys? maybe ujersy is a good choice.

If there's no roof, there's no chance a roof can collapse, especially when burdened by 2 feet of snow. Besides, the Twins suffered one rainout in their glorious first summer in Target Field and drew a club-record 3.2 million.

This is why no one in Southern California should begin counting down the days until the NFL returns, regardless of what happened Sunday. Generally speaking, stadiums have a way of getting built.

The Twins never were supposed to get a new one and they did. The Florida Marlins surely needed to move away from an apathetic base and a reluctant state legislature, and, miracle of miracles, their new park launches in 2012.

Besides, the collapse of the Dome roof is not insurmountable. Engineers think the Vikings have a shot to play the Bears at home on Monday, the final home game of the season.

So the blizzard possibly the only thing that has made Brad Childress smile in months will probably not hasten the flight of the Vikings to either Ed Roski's hill of dreams in the City of Industry or Tim Leiweke's edifice complex in L.A.

The bigger issue is a lease that expires after next season, when there might not be any NFL anyway. At that point Minnesota will have to make a stadium commitment, and it probably will.

This is the state that found a way to build new havens for the Twins and the Minnesota Gophers. There is a $6 billion budget deficit and there are some supposedly stingy Republicans taking over the state house, but there are familiar hurdles, and sports teams usually find a way over them.

A Minnesota poll found that three-quarters of respondents said no public money should be dedicated to a Vikings stadium and two-thirds felt they should stay in the Metrodome (prior to the roof falling in), if you want to buy Chicago BearsJerseys, go to ujersy.

But the same pollster found that only 29 percent of Minnesotans said the Twins should use public funds.

The same question was asked this year, when people could actually see the ballpark and its impact. Now 48 percent said public money was OK, which is fortunate since special sales taxes were already used to help finance Target Field.

Eventually it gets done. It will get done in ...
