[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 73553, member: 167"] Before you insult people vikeman look at the calender. 2010 is not that far away as far as govenment permits and construction of a stadium in LA. The former viking owner got frustrated over at least one of the these: a. the stadium b. league not permitting him to move c. a terrible fan base d. being stuck in a low revenue franchise The vikings are in worse financial shape than when Red owned the team! They have been the lowest revenue franchise for 2 years and since being sold to a group outside MN, the franchise with the highest % of debt(Houston has more debt but the Texans are worth a lot more). Nothing creative being done to increase revenues. The state of Minnesota turned down the out of state owners group who were seeking corporate welfare from their taxpayers when the vikings already have a publicly funded stadium. After all the plastic Metrodome is the best Minnesota can afford. The Lions have a new stadium. The Bears have practically a new stadium and Lambeau field had a major renovation. The vikings are further and further behind. Now with revenue sharing viking customers should thank the fans of division opponents for financially supporting them. The high revenue teams have to support those who don't earn enough. Some kid in Detroit buys a hot dog at a Bears game and part of the profit goes to the vikings. Nothing would help the troubled franchise more than moving to the very high revenue LA. Why would vikeman want to prevent the vikings from turning around financially and becoming one of the highest revenue teams. As big 3 pointed out contracts can always be modified. Look for the move if it happens in 2009 or 2010. However, this new group has proven more inept than Red in running the team and has brought embarassment to the league. That's not how you win friends and influence people when you want a lucrative market like LA. The only reason the vikings ownership group will not get to move is because the NFL owners have a longer term more deserving owner or at least a competent one to reap the benefits of moving to LA.
