The Minnesota Vikings took a giant step Monday night toward a new taxpayer-subsidized football stadium when the state House approved legislation, but lawmakers upped the share the team would have to pay. The $975 million stadium plan passed the House on a 73-58 vote. The state Senate planned to act on a competing version Tuesday. Passage there would send the bill into final negotiations, putting the team closer than ever to a replacement for the aging Metrodome.
