The Peculiar Case of the Metrodome Site
With as many intriguing twists and head-scratching turns as the Minnesota Vikings' efforts to get a new stadium built in Minnesota have taken, the development that continually fascinates me is that the Metrodome site is likely the frontrunner in the stadium sweepstakes.
