Vikings, TCF Stadium Tentatively Reach Deal

The Minnesota Vikings sure know their way around the word 'tenative'. Only a few days after coming to a tentative deal to determine who will pay how much for the construction of a new stadium, another deal of the tentative nature has emerged.

The Vikings and the University of Minnesota have struck a tentative deal regarding the amount of money it will cost the organization to play at TCF Bank Stadium when construction is underway.

The number of games and the price to play there are still unknown. However there are some logistical answers: there will be about 3,000 temporary seats added to the venue's endzone. This would bring the capacity to about 53,000.

The Vikings have close to 53,000 season ticket holders.
