Nah, they moved away from Boston because George Preston Marshall hated people with they'ah Bahstawn accents.

It's the fans fault they moved. Lack of support until AFTER they were gone. They had years of "warning". This was no Baltimore Colts or Art Modell move.

Me too. Seriously, the worst accent in the world...ranks with the French.

That was an incredible video...and allowed me to see the Skins game. The Giants/Vikes was supposed to be on in my area.

Really, it was only 3 panels that need replaced and it's expected to be done by by mid-week I heard.

This won't affect the long-term plans of the team. If they play it right though, they could convince the state to fund a new stadium out of public safety concerns maybe. I don't think the state will allow them to leave...it would be absolutely stupid. Losing the North Stars made a few people mad, but losing the Vikings would be devastating to the state financially and they'd never be forgiven.
