Minnesota Vikings: U.S. Bank Stadium opening drawing nearer

It doesn’t feel like that long ago when Minnesota Vikings fans were tuned into the state legislature, watching to find out if a new stadium for the football team would be approved. Features of the stadium were debated back and forth on the floor, trying to determine which ones were not worth including in the price of the new facility.

Right there on the floor and championing the cause of the new building was executive vice president of public affairs and stadium development, Lester Bagley. He’s spent 11 years with the Minnesota Vikings and found himself being the center of attention when it came to the push for the new stadium.
