The Minnesota Vikings are in the final year of their lease at the Metrodome, funding for a new stadium hasn't been secured and a developer has taken another step toward building an NFL-ready facility in Los Angeles. Vikings owner Zygi Wilf tried to disconnect those dots again Wednesday. He said Vikings fans need not worry about the progress to the west. "No," Wilf said sternly when asked whether fans in Minnesota should be nervous that the Anschutz Entertainment Group got an endorsement from the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday for the funding and timeline of the project there.
