Bagley said team owner Zygi Wilf and Vikings management toured L.A. Live, an entertainment complex located in the city's downtown area, in 2009. According to Bagley, the group was looking for ideas on building a similar entertainment district in Minnesota.

The Vikings are in their final year of their lease at the Metrodome and have been pushing to get a new stadium approved.

The Minnesota Twins and the University of Minnesota football team have moved out of the outdated building into shiny new facilities of their own. Since 2002, the Vikings have been playing in the Metrodome rent-free, a gesture made to acknowledge the building's difficulty in producing revenue.

Bagley said the Vikings have told both interested groups that the organization is "focused on resolving the issue in Minnesota."

"We feel solid momentum and feel we're well-positioned with the new legislature and governor," he said in the chat. "Instead of spending energy speculating on other markets, let's keep the focus on building a world-class facility for the community and the state of Minnesota."

That does not sound like they will be moving to LA any time soon.

Either move the Jags to LA or move the Chargers up close to LA. Chargers is easier.

No, there's been a lot of other articles and this one just talked about it more. There was an ESPN report on it.

And read the quotes from it. Sounds like the Vikes REALLY want to stay in Minnesota and are continuing to look for ideas to get a new stadium deal/entertainment district in place.

Can you show anything FACTUAL that actually backs up your statement that it really looks like the Vikes will be heading to LA ? Because this shows ZERO ZILCH NADA, all it does is contradict your statement.

So the only facts are those that show the Vikings saying they intend to stay in Minnesota. What was the point of this thread then ?

See the Bagley clip I linked to. If they don't get a new stadium, they're leaving. And it doesn't look like they're going to get a new stadium...voters already turned it down once.
