With all the garbage going on at the MN legislature and Senate, it has lead me to believe that this type of think wouldn't be possible in Wisconsin. I can't imagine the Packers ever being close to leaving the state of Wisconsin.

Doesn't that mean that Packers fans are better NFL fans than Minnesota fans?

Well the Packers can't ever move out of Wisconsin, so the question is irrelevant in that respect.

But yes, Packer fans are much better than Vikings fans . I still hope the Vikes stay in Minnesota though

I'm hoping for that as well. I'm hoping my fellow Vikings fans contact their legislators.

Yes, Packer fans are better than Viking fans.

So because of all this stadium talk of the Vikes possibly leaving makes Packers fans better? Ok.

I will say this, there are many diehard Vikings fans across the country and have a very strong loyal fanbase. Packers fans are diehards as well. They have a great history, legendary stadium, they win, and let the fans own Packers stock. It's very fan orientated and Packers football is life in Wisconsin (or at least in Green Bay.)

If the Vikes had a real stadium where there's room to tailgate, you will see fans outside with in negative degree weather without shirts painted in purple. I could see from as outsiders perspective, playing in that crap they call home gives off a vibe that they don't care about the team, but the fact is Minnesota gov't has a problem handing out more money for another stadium deal after the Twins just got theirs. I hope something is worked out (I think something will) and Vikes fans like myself can enjoy the true culture of football. The Dome doesn't cut it.

Well said.

Things aren't as clear cut as the original poster made it seem. There's also a lot of variables involved (i.e. government funding, other sports teams in the area, etc) as well.

Was joking
