Viking Heading Outdoors

With the status of the Metrodome in the air, with the tears in the roof. It was decided that the dome would not be ready in time for the last home game of the season. The Vikes will be hosting the Bears in the state of Minnesota at least for this "home game."

As of right now, the game is to be played at TCF Stadium the new home of University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. It is said that there has to be plenty of work to be done before the Monday Night Contest to take place. This will be the first outdoor NFL game to be played in Minnesota since December 20, 1981 and is sure to conjure fond memories of the gridiron of old for many Vikings fans.

The main problem with the venue that people would see is that TCF Stagium hold 13,000 less people than the Metrodome does. So here begs the question: Who will be allowed to enter the stadium with tickets to the game in hand?

It would be interesting to see the Vikes play an outdoor home game, it will be the first time to see in my lifetime.
