Kevin Seifert STAR TRIBUNE From the conspiracy-minded and occasionally irresponsible headquarters of Access Vikings, we couldn’t help but noticing a familiar shade when we looked at designs for the latest incarnation of a new NFL stadium in Los Angeles. Los Angeles real estate/sports mogul Ed Roski is scheduled to discuss his plans for the stadium complex in a news conference today. Roski is expected to confirm a timetable where construction could be completed as early as 2011. As you know, the Vikings’ lease at the Metrodome expires after the 2011 season. While this unveiling could end up being a significant advancement in the LA-football/Vikings relocation as-of-yet non-story, it’s not exactly time to panic. Among the reasons: The NFL was not involved in Roski’s development plan and, as the Los Angeles Times reports, the league has offered no indication that a return to LA is among its top priorities. Already, the plan has suffered a political roadblock. The City of Industry, where the stadium would be located, was blocked Wednesday from diverting $820 million in property tax revenues to develop land surrounding the stadium. Multiple, multiple stadium plans in Los Angeles have been proposed and shot down since the LA Rams left in 1994. There still remains no evidence that any governmental entity — not the City of Los Angeles nor the surrounding suburbs nor the state of California — has any interest in partnering up. If Los Angeles ever gets a team, the leading candidate will always be the San Diego Chargers, who haven’t been able to replace their aging facility. (Once known as Jack Murphy Stadium.) Moving the Chargers would always be the least-painful way to get back to Los Angeles. It’s a little jarring to see those purple seats, and the color might well be intentional on Roski’s part. Our guess: Worth keeping an eye on, but it’s not even the beginning of the end for the Vikings in Minnesota. Yet.
