Vikings Stadium Bill Picks Up Another First Down in Senate

The Minnesota Senate on Tuesday approved a public subsidy package for a new Vikings stadium with a 38-28 vote.

Sen. Chris Gerlach (R-Dist. 37) voted against the measure.

Tuesday's vote follows the Minnesota House's approval on Monday of its version of a Vikings stadium bill with a 73-58 vote.

A conference committee made up from members of the House and Senate will need to negotiate a final bill and get approval from their respective bodies. If approved, it could be to the governor's desk by the end of the week.
