Watch Video of the Vikings Stadium Senate Committee Hearing

The Vikings Stadium bill continues its trip through the Minnesota Senate this morning. A floor vote could happen as early as Friday.

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 last week when the House Government Operations and Elections Committee rejected it, 9-6. Supporters, led by Shakopee's , and backed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, rallied to keep the bill moving forward—which the the Senate Jobs and Economic Growth Committee .

Today, the Senate Finance Committee will take up the measure. The hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. You can watch live here, thanks to The UpTake.
