In October, Vikings V.P. of business affairs and stadium development Lester Bagley told PFT Live that “more than one community” has approached the team regarding a possible move after the team’s Metrodome lease expires in January.

Bagley has now narrowed the universe to Los Angeles and another unidentified city.

The disclosure came during Tuesday’s Senate committee meeting regarding financing options for a Vikings stadium in Minnesota. Bagley wasn’t pressed by Senators to identify the other city. After the hearing, he opted not to elaborate.

We would let that city speak for themselves,” Bagley told the Minneapolis Star Tribune (via NFL.com). “I don’t think it’s our place to say who it is.”

Other potential candidates to woo the franchise include Toronto, London, and San Antonio.

There’s also a chance that, with the Vikings declining to identify the mystery city, there is no mystery city.
