Vikings on the verge of being sold to Fowler

[SPTO]

This isn't quite a done deal.

The NFL still has to process the application for ownership. Fowler has also enlisted the aid of 2 investors in NY who have to go through a background/financial check as well. We won't know for sure if Fowler is accepted for another month or more.

Also the guy who owns the T-Wolves (sorry forgot his name) may still be able to up his bid if things dont' work out.

I got to wait to the other approve him... Assuming that happens I hope he's not in it to just make money. I hope he hires Football minded people in the front office. I hope he get the Vikings a new stadium (an outside one) I hope he'll be willing to spend in free agency.

Well I would rather have Glenn Taylor (thats his name) than fowler just for the reason that he lives in MN. It is looking like Fowler will get the Vikings but I would rather have Taylor, he has a better shot at getting a stadium. He has more money and is well know.

Glen Taylor is who you talking about and he's a joke because he could have already bought the team by now.

How do you like the recent retractable layout? I think a totally outdoor stadium would not work.

Yep thanks well I heard last night that the reason he hasn't purchased the team was because he was lowballing McCombs. If I were a smart businessman i'd do the same thing too. So if he really wants the team he'll up his offer which he has done 2 times previously. Tho it DOES look like it's too late for him.

Why because they want the Super Bowl to return? I think the Vikes should go back to the old school but when they do get a stadium it be retractable.

I think McCombs was asking too much all along and Taylor knows it. The team is only appraised at 500 million but this Fowler is willing to pay 625 million.
