Feb. 1 will be a crucial day in the development of the new $975 million Vikings Stadium.
On that day, the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority, which will own and operate the stadium, will choose a construction manager -- the folks to actually build the structure.
Naming the construction firm was delayed a bit to "accommodate requests from proposers for more time to develop proposals," said MFSA Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen, in a statement.
The design of the stadium by architect HKS Sports & Entertainment will be unveiled in the spring, with a groundbreaking slated for fall. The new facility is expected to open in time for the Vikings season in 2016.

Stock market today: Wall Street falls on double dose of disappointing economic data, as Meta sinks
Stocks closed lower on worries about a potentially toxic cocktail for financial markets, one where inflation remains stubbornly high but the economy's growth flags. A sharp drop for Meta Platforms, one of Wall Street's most influential stocks, also dragged the market lower. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Thursday after paring an earlier drop of 1.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1%, and the Nasdaq composite gave back 0.6%. Treasury yields climbed after the government reported that inflation remained hotter than forecast during the first three months of the year. The economy's growth also slowed more than expected.
