Actually, that's not true Firefly never moved its timeslot, it was always on Friday night Granted, it was the Friday Night Death Slot, but it was consistent
@Dr Emilio Lizardo: As far as I know, the majority of Target Field was funded by public money. The difference between this and what the Vikings want is that the Twins got money from the county, the Vikings are asking for state money, and like most, the state is in a budget crisis.
The Vikings like to threaten the move to LA every few years. They point out that in the past, when we've lost teams (Lakers, Northstars) we've ended up paying more to bring a new franchise in than would be required to pay for the stadium
The spaceship from 8 1/2 would have been nice to see. I love that one, mostly because I'm convinced its sole purpose in the movie is to be a huge waste of money
