MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The beleaguered public agency overseeing the Minnesota Vikings stadium has named a new CEO.
Rick Evans was approved as CEO and executive director by the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority on Friday. His duties will start on Monday.
Evans was a Minnesota assistant attorney general for 10 years and also the first executive director of the Minnesota Racing Commission. He has more than 20 years of private-sector experience as a business executive and general counsel.
MSFA chairwoman Michele Kelm-Helgen resigned under criticism last month after ethical questions about the use of luxury suites by agency officials for family and friends.
