Spent a few minutes getting up there what's going on we brought this up on the show today as well what's going on in Minnesota the stadium situation. The talks about. Though it's one over the vikings and their future obviously this will be talking more about this year in buffalo. With the least talks the stadium renovations and everything going out the bills and Erie county regiments -- covers. The vikings and at least story and have the vote and all that stuff for -- then KF AN radio up in Minnesota AJ it's Howard Jeremy thanks coming on welcome. Then they'll probably I think -- OK -- Throw the last few days with different political bodies and resolutions and bit and bow out I'm totally confused I what's going on now the vikings staying -- they getting a new stadium. Well that would open here and there are still some big hurdles but how the the senate passed the bill. And the house passed the bill and now there in a conference committee trying to hash out the differences. Between those two bills before -- passed to a final vote. Also -- -- probably most in the foreseeable future with the conference committee but it's just that final vote. In the final shape of the bill that could come out of order kind of worried about how weird and so. Well gimme gimme a gut feeling year percentage of chances that passes or doesn't -- is it 5050 it's gonna -- seventy what do you think. I you know I got to put -- at 5050 right now until we see how the bill. Comes out of that conference committee -- and some big issues. Notably -- the house added a 105 million to the vikings contribution. And that bill in the senate only at that point aren't so they need to find a middle ground between there. And a lot of that it was dependent on what the liking like -- you're not whether certain parties like that you're not so you know the best I can get your right now at 5050 shot actually. AJ I saw this story that there was a user fee amendment and that basically there is instead about this because I wonder as we sit here and talk about renovations to the bills stadium and how much the taxpayers have to pay. There was a user fees that would be 10% beyond suites and on parking within a half a mile of the stadium. And then a six point 875%. The end vikings clothing trading cards and other memorabilia. How's that going over up there were the fans. What you know right now I think you've gone over okay just for the fact that the the -- -- and I actually didn't. Passed an amendment to add even more user fees are all sorts of things -- -- ticket prices up and down that the -- -- and that amendment was actually re amended. And voted out of the bill before the senate social overlaps are talking people are kind of overlooking the fact that. There is that user creep. But I think -- ubiquitous -- in the -- -- the -- and take the right to be happy. I thought was I read one amendment which I loved and I don't know if it's I don't know if it's legal. That they put in a resolution that said no more blackouts it it legally they can't black -- vikings games can they do that is not like a league issue. Boy you know technically it is a league issue but it it doesn't make sense kind of like you said that the public is gonna pay for a stadium. Why shouldn't the public be able to watch every game that telecast eighty what are the black -- -- not so it is and it isn't in question right now -- get past. So it is part of read the -- that left the senate yesterday but nobody really knows what kind of can do about that took Michael probably don't really mind the kind of teleglobe the company. Might not like that restriction being taken away from them. If like you said 5050 if it doesn't pass. Is there another chance the stadium bill could be pastor is it is -- is it. Are they dead if it doesn't -- Well this is pretty much the last big issue on their smallest possible recovery -- -- this doesn't pass it is dead in the water for the time being the only real way that they can do it. This year it's called special special later on in November which would you know. The vikings would be upset about that that I would be happy about it but it would be the last chance to get the vikings in Minnesota yourself. If it does not pass and then there's the struggle for a Thursday vote. If it doesn't pass on Thursday of bad news and we'll meet you what march children to pick maybe. Well -- it doesn't pass. Isn't there like some February deadline next your. About you know they can leave by a certain point or something. Yeah they -- -- I don't know exactly what the data do interpret that to make a decision whether they're going to again come back to the metrodome for one more year and go through these shenanigans. Another part of with what the government or whether they're planning on moving. The good of the the you know there -- only the road in February for sure but -- other there's other deadlines before that and an attitude are probably gonna make up their mind at least publicly. Make an announcement about what they plan to do before that so I don't giggle about that cover it up but technically yes -- AJ thanks for the insight appreciate you coming all of us this morning. It.
