Are the Vikings in line to follow the Lakers and Stars out of the Twin Cities? A Minneapolis columnist believes that if a new stadium bill isn't passed in the legislature this year that the Wilf family, owners of the Vikings, will take advantage of the fact that their lease at the Metrodome runs out after the 2011 season and try to persuade Commissioner Roger Goodell and other NFL owners to allow them to be one of two teams that will eventually move to Southern California. The collapse of the Metrodome roof following a December snowstorm also will put the Wilfs in a position to get a favorable vote to relocate, because without a new stadium the Wilfs are not assured that once the roof is repaired, the same problem won't come up again.
