Minnesota Vikings
Wilf and five partners purchased the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League from Red McCombs in 2005 for a reported US$600 million. Forbes estimates the 2012 value of the franchise at US$975 million, or 22nd of the 32 NFL teams.
For several years the Vikings and Wilf have stated that their current home, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome is inadequate and have lobbied for a new stadium. The Minnesota Vikings moved to within a governor's signature of getting a new $975 million stadium on May 10 after the state Senate approved a plan that relies heavily on public financing. The deal has been signed by Mark Dayton and was approved by the Minneapolis City Council, ending any speculation of relocation.
