Builder on stadium: Git ‘er done

Mortenson Construction sent a letter to the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission saying, in effect, "Yes, we can."

That's in response to a report earlier this month from the two agencies calling a proposed 2015 completion date for the Arden Hills plan proposed by Ramsey County and the Vikings "aggressive" and "unrealistic." Along with a letter, the company released a proposed construction schedule.

It has a proposed start on Nov. 28, 2012, and finish date of Aug. 27, 2015.

See it for yourself below. Note that footnote: "Legislative Approval 11/30/11".
