Minnesota Vikings vs Wells Fargo: Judge Donovan Frank denies injunction request by Vikings regarding sign ups near stadium

Federal Judge Donovan Frank has issued a rejection statement in the wake of Minnesota Viking's request to force the Wells Fargo in removing their rooftop signs near the newly built Vikings stadium. The request was to have a preliminary injunction that would have made the Wells Fargo to cover up two sign ups on their 17-story towers.

According to Fox Sports, after a motion was filed on Thursday, Judge Donovan Frank has denied the Viking's request and ordered the case to be scheduled for a trial and possible settlement talks. This is before the judge stated that the group handling the Viking stadium's construction hasn't provided a legal statements. Judge Frank is looking for a report that the rooftop signs will cause damages to the construction process if the injunction wasn't granted.

However, despite of this ruling on the bank's side, the judge also sees that the two titans would clash more in the future. In the reports of Star Tribune, Frank determined that both sides would have "viable" arguments. He didn't specifically stated that Vikings' argument will prevail but gave subtle comment that team's breach of contract can improve their talks. Moreover, his ruling on Thursday ordered that these signs shouldn't be elevated by 18 inches more.

In light of these talks, Ktar News wrote that it was in December when the legal actions took place. According to the article, Vikings sued Wells Fargo & Co. after their intent to "photobomb" the facility. They added that the bank has issued illuminated rooftop signs toward the Vikings stadium since it was named after a rival U.S. bank. With this, Wells Fargo said that their signs are within contract and do not need to be removed.

Jude Donovan Frank has denied the Minnesota Vikings their preliminary injunction to force the bank, Wells Fargo & Co., to remove the illuminated rooftop signs attached to their two 17-story buildings. The motion wasn't granted since the judge don't see any probable argument that could cause an irreparable harm to the group. However, Judge Frank didn't ruled all the way with the bank's lawyers as he's seeing a fair chance for both group to prevail in the future clash.
