Heated field coming I presume? It'll be worth it on days in late November.

The questions is, how high is the maintenance cost?

The reports most certainly do not say that $15M is going to TCF. They say that there was $15M set aside to be given to the Vikings to offset losses from playing in TCF and that now that $15M will go into Viking stadium construction fund.

Dammit. So $3mill a year for two years doesn't add up to $15mill huh?

"In addition, about $15 million of the $975 million budget will be diverted to the construction fund — money that was due to the Vikings for playing two seasons at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota."
