MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota Vikings executive said Friday that the team is concerned about the safety of the Metrodome after a winter storm caused the building’s roof to collapse, but he didn’t rule out the team playing there next season.

The Vikings have long pursued a new stadium paid for mostly by taxpayers, and next year is the final year of their lease on the Dome. Vice President Lester Bagley didn’t directly address that issue in discussing the outlook for next season.

“We’re going to have to dig into that and get an honest assessment of that,” Bagley said. “Some people would say, ‘Well, a couple of shingles come off the roof you don’t build a new barn.’ Well, the roof collapsed. We have concerns about the safety of the facility going forward.”

Minnesota is dealing with a state budget deficit of more than $6.2 billion that has to be handled first, but Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders have said they’re open to a good stadium plan. A state lawmaker plans to introduce a proposal by late January.

Bagley said the Vikings are focused on Monday night’s game with the Chicago Bears at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium. The game will mark a return to outdoor football in Minnesota after the Vikings spent the past 29 years in the Dome.
