Case No.:

Minneapolis Venture LLC,

Judge:

Plaintift COMPLAINT
Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority,
Defendant.

PlaintifT Minneapolis Venture LLC, as and lbr its Complaint against Defendant Minnesota Sports Facility Authority, states and alleges as fbllows:
I

Minneapolis Venture LLC (''Minneapolis Venture") is a Minnesota limited

a principal place of business at 800

liability company with

Nicollet Mall, Suite 2850,

Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minneapolis Venture is the fee owner of real property located at
701 South Fourth Street in Minneapolis known as the Downtown East Parking Ramp Property

("Downtown East"). Minneapolis Venture acquired Downtown East from its prior owner, the City of Minneapolis, in late 2007.

2.

The Minnesota Sports Facility Authority (the "MSFA") is a public body,

corporate and politic, and political subdivision of the srate created pursuant to Minn. Stat.
$

473J.07. The MSFA's principal place of business is located at 900 South Fifth Street,

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

3.

Downtown East is included in the delinition ofthe Stadium Site as set forth in

Minn. Stat. Ch.473J, which became e1'fective on May 15, 2012.

4.

On February 1, 2013, Ted Mondale ("Mondate"), in his capacity as

CEO/Executive Director of the MSFA, notified Minneapolis Venture of the MSFA's interest in acquiring Downtown East, and took the initial steps required fbr an eminent domain proceeding
under Minn. Stat.

I17.036. A true and correct copy of Mondale's letter is attached hereto

as

Exhibit A and incorporated herein by ret'erence.

5.

On May 30, 20'13, as discussions about a possible acquisition of Downtown East

by the MSFA continued, Mondale again wrote to Minneapolis Venture. In the May 30 letter, the

MSFA claimed that Minneapolis Venture was obligated to extend the term of
and Right of [:ntry dated September
17

a Use Agreement

,2003 (the "Use Agreement") beyond the termination

date expressly stated in the Use Agreement. A true and correct copy of Mondale's letter is attached hereto as Exhibil B and incorporated herein by reference.

6.

'fhe Use Agreement is

written agreement originally between the Minneapolis

Community Development Agency ("MCDA"), as the then-owner of Downtown East, and the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission (the "Commission"), as the owner of the Metrodome.
The Use Agreement permitted the Commission to "hold Metrodome related events, from time to time. on the Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement." A true and correct copy ofthe Use Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference.

7.

Pursuant to Section 2 of the Use Agreement, the Commission's right to use

3

Downtown East lbr approved Metrodome events will end as of "October

l,

2013, after which

time the right of the Commission to use the Concession Facilities and schedule and hold
Metrodome Events on the Premises shall terminate."

8.

The MCDA and the Commission agreed to "negotiate in good faith the right to

extend" the Use Agreement "so long as the Metrodome continues to be operated as a sports arena."

9.

ln response to Mondale's May 30,2013 letter, Minneapolis Venture informed the

MSFA that the Use Agreement would, according to its express terms, terminate on October 31, 2013. Minneapolis Venture offered to consider any proposal that the MSFA may choose to
make for a new use agreement. To date, the MSFA has not made any proposal for extending its
use

of Downtown East beyond October 3l

10.

At

a meeting between representatives

of Minneapolis Venture, the MSFA and the

Minnesota Vikings Footbalt Club, LLC ("Vikings") on April 18, 201 3, the Vikings and the

MSFA said they were considering whether Downtown East would be needed for the new
stadium development, and that Minneapolis Venture would be informed of the decision within
30 days. 'l'hat deadline was missed. The promise to make a decision "soon" was repeated on

numerous occasions over the fbllowing months, including at another lace-to-face meeting between Minneapolis Venture, the MSFA and the Vikings on June 19,2013.
I

l.

Throughout the spring and summer of 2013, while the MSFA was telling

Minneapolis Venture that it did not krow whether it wanted to acquire Downtown East, the

MSFA was communicating to the public that Downtown East was within its control. This
communication was accomplished by images and renderings, including those displayed at the
new stadium design unveiling on May I 3, 201 3, that depict Downtown East as a part of the stadium site. True and correct copies of some ofthose published images are attached hereto as

Exhibit D.

12.

On JuI1 29,2013, the MSFA issued its Final Environmental Impact Statement
East as a part

("EIS"). The EIS includes many references to Downtown

ofthe stadium project.

The EIS presents two altemative plaza configurarions both of which include Downtown East. The EIS also includes two altemative reserve parking plans both of which include Downtown

East. Throughout the EIS, Downtown East is treated as an integral part ofthe stadium
development, not as the private property owned by Minneapolis Venture.

13.

In addition, upon infbrmation and belief, the negotiations and discussions between

the MSFA, Ryan Companies and the City of Minneapolis regarding a proposed mixed-use

development and adjacent park have included negotiations over the right to operate and receive
revenues tiom the Downtown East parking ramp owned by Minneapolis Venture. These

discussions and negotiations proceeded as if Downtown East were owned by the MSFA.

14.

Alier the MSFA repeatedly told Minneapolis Venture that it would make

decision with respect to Downtown East no later than July 31, another meeting took place on

August 6, 2013. At that meeting, Michelle Kelm Helgen, the Chair of the MSFA, told Minneapolis Venture that a determination would be made no later than Friday, August 9.
I

5.

On Friday, August 9, 2013, Minneapolis Venture received a letter from Ted

Mondale as the CE0/Executive Director of the MSFA. In that letter, the MSFA once again

lailed to state whether it is going to acquire the property belonging to Minneapolis Venture,
stating instead that MSFA "is considering whether to acquire" Downtown East.

16.

On Monday, August 12,2013, Minneapolis Venture gave the MSFA formal

notice ofthe termination oi the Use Agreement as ofOctober 31,2013. A true and correct copy

of the termination notice provided to the MSFA is attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated
herein by retbrence.

Re:
Dear Mr. Lux:

Use A8reement and Ritht of Entry for Stadium Plaza

The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (the "Authorit/,l requests that Alatus extend the Use Agreement and Right of Entry (the "Agreement") for the plaza (the "plaza") located on the property at 701 Fourth Srreet South and 424 Kirby Puckett Place, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "property") subject to the same terms for a 30-year period as may be extended. Alatus, as the owner of the Property, is subject to the obligation to extend the Agreement because the Agreement runs with the land and was identified as burdening the Property in Alatus's purchase agreement with the City of Minneapolis. The Agreement was recorded against the Property by the Memorandum of Use Agreement and Right of Entry dated October 25, 2007. Correspondingly, the Authority is the successor to Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission's rithts and obligations under the Agreement pursuant to Minnesota statute s 473J.25.
As you are aware, the Authority is buildinB a new stadium on the Metrodome site to provide a sports

arena for the Minnesota Vikings and other sportlnt activities. ln conjunction with the new stadium, the Authority Intends to continue to use the Plaza as provided for in the Agreement. The Plaza was built with state and federal funds to serve the Hiawatha Line's Downtown EasVMetrodome Station during sporting events at the Metrodome site. The purpose and intent of the Agreement is that the Plaza will continue to serve these uses so long as the Metrodome site is used as a sportin8 arena. Specifically, section 2 of the Agreement provides "[Alatus] and the [Authority] agree to negotiate in good faith the right to extend this Agreement to use the [Plaza] so long as the Metrodome continues to be operated as a sports arena." Because the new stadium will occupy the same location and serve the same sports arena function as the Metrodome, the Authority is entitled to extend its use of the Plaza under the Agreement. Accordintly, the Authority expects Alatus will honor its obligations to extend the Agreement subiect to the same or similar terms as the Plaza is now used by the Authority.
Please contact me to discuss the extension of the Use Agreement and Right of Entry.

Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority Minnesota Spons Facilities Commission 900 South Fifth Street Minneapolis, MN 55415 Attn: Ted Mondale

Re: Use Agreement and Right of Entry

Dear Ted:

Notice of Termination

I am writing on behalf of Minneapolis Venture LLC, the fee owner of the real estate known as Downtown East and the "Plaza" located on that real estate. This letter provides formal notification to the Minnesota Sports Facilities Commission ('MSFC') of the termination of the Use Agreement and Right of Entry dated September 17,2003 ('1he Agreement!'). This is the Agreement tlat was the subject ofa May 30, 2013 letter from you to me and the June 7 response to that letter which was sent fiom Norman Baer to David Trevor.
The Agreement was effectively terminated when the MSFC was abolished in 2012 pursuant to Minn. Stat. 5473J.25. We understand that the MiDnesota Sports Facilities Authority ('MSFA') disagrees and claims thar il stepped into the shoes of the MSFC witl rcsPect to the rights and obligations under the A$eement. For purposes of this notice of termination onlY, we are not debating the MSFA contention which is why this notice is addressed to both the MSFC
and the MSFA.

Pursuant to Section l(a) ofthe Agreement, the MSFC is required to provide an advance list/schedule of "Mstrodome Events" for wh.ich it plans to use the Plaza. Please provide such a Iist so that Minneapolis Venture may exercise its right of approval. As specified in the Agreemenl, please recognize that MSFC is prohibited from conducting any Metrodome Events without the prior written approval of Minneapolis Venture.
