Reusse: Gophers, not Vikings, need ticket surcharges
"The University of Minnesota athletic department refers to the surcharge for season tickets as “scholarship seating.” The Minnesota Vikings Football Club, LLC and its lackeys at the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority refer to the surcharge as “stadium builder’s licenses.”
The Gophers, currently the more successful of the two big-time football teams in the Twin Cities, announced a surcharge plan this week that they hope will be adding an annual $2.2 million to the coffers by 2017.
The Vikings have been dunning their customers for months to gain commitments for $125 million in surcharges before the new stadium, the Taj Ma Zygi, opens in 2016."
