Almost $457 million in Legacy Amendment funding has been sent to Minnesota groups and agencies
Over the 2 years since the money has been flowing, that means about 225 million per year being collected in sales tax revenue. In comparison, the Vikings stadium, estimated to cost about $750 million for no roof or $900 million for a retractable, could be completely paid for with this amount of money in 3-4 years.
But ironically, after 'assuring our outdoor heritage in Minnesota', sportsmen will still have to fork over more money-hunting and fishing fees are expected to go up. So you may be able to catch a trophy fish in the future, but only if you can afford a license.

Dave, you realize that the Legacy Amendment was passed at the ballot box by voters, don't you? That the passing of this Amendment reflected the will of the people?
