(LIVE VIDEO) Watch Today's Vikings Stadium Debate

The Senate Jobs and Economic Growth Committee will take up the measure at 10:30 a.m.

Legislators are keeping a Vikings Stadium proposal rolling despite setbacks just a week ago.

The stadium proposal cleared two House committees this month but stumbled April when the House Government Operations and Elections Committee rejected it 9-6. Supporters, backed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, rallied to keep the bill moving forward—which the House Ways and Means Committee did Monday night when it sent a funding plan to the full House without recommendation.

Today, the Senate Jobs and Economic Growth Committee—which Sen. Geoff Michel (R-Edina) chairs—will take up the measure. The hearing begins at 10:30 a.m. Check back to watch live video of the proceedings and tell us what you think in the comments.
