Hopes for a Vikings stadium in Blaine crashed late Wednesday night when Senate conferees removed Vikings stadium language from their Twins ballpark bill.
In all likelihood, Vikings stadium supporters will have to wait until next year for another chance at a stadium.
Sen. Steve Kelley, DFL-Hopkins, Senate Twins/Vikings stadium conference committee chairman, said Senate conferees decided not to risk having the Vikings stadium fail on the House floor.
