What If the Minnesota Vikings had played the NFC Championship at the HHH Metrodome instead?

I know that there is a certain danger in playing the What If game... What If we hadn't dropped that pass, What If we would have gone for a field goal, What if they wouldn't have slammed Favre repeatedly.... you could go crazy thinking of what if's that might have effected Sunday's NFC Championship vs. the New Orleans Saints.

However, in true Obsessed Vikings Fan Fashion I would like to throw out one more What if. What if the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints had played the NFC Championship Game at the HHH Metrodome instead of the SuperDome? Here is what I think might have been different.

Both the Minnesota Vikings D-Line and O-Line for whatever reason stick to the game plan a lot better within the HHH Metrodome. If that would have been the case than perhaps, Farve would not have been totally smashed into the turf time and time again and then perhaps some of the late in the game passes might have been a little cleaner.

What If's aside, the Minnesota Vikings Clearly play better when they are at home in the HHH Metrodome, the Purple Pride and Skol Vikings Cheers are louder, the players are more rested and everything just works better. So, for this season there is very little we can do... but I'd like to suggest that next season the Minnesota Vikings do EVERYTHING they can so that they get to play the Super Bowl playoff game at home in the Dome. Just think, then you could be buying Minnesota Vikings Tickets for playoff games!!

HHH Metrodome staff gets a break as the Dome sits quiet until August 2010

Famous Dome Dog and Jumbo Drink inside the HHH Metrodome

With the Minnesota Vikings season officially over as of last night (what a loss)... the HHH Metrdome and the HHH Metrodome staff will have an extended break until August 2010 when the Minnesota Vikings start the 2010 Vikings Preseason.

Although private events can be held in the Metrodome, and several on the schedule, the Dome itself for the most part will sit empty and quiet all summer, something that Minneapolis Natives have not seen in years.

With the Minnesota Twins moving out of the Dome and onto Target Field, the Metrodome that once was the home of all Minnesota Professional Sports is going to be a sad site for the summer. Without Minnesota Twins Home Games, this spring and summer there will be no Dome Dogs, no Jumbo Beers, No Nachos and No Metrodome Magic....

So for now, enjoy the rest HHH Metrodome Staff, because as the next Minnesota Vikings Season creeps around you better believe that people will be aching to get back inside one of the biggest sports legends in Minnnesota.

WHAT? HUH? Sound from inside the HHH Metrodome at the Vikings Cowboys was great!

Minnesota Vikings Game Day from inside the HHH Metrodome
Although the Minnesota Vikings had a disappointing loss yesterday that took them out of the running for the SuperBowl, they spent the Sunday before that inside the HHH Metrodome playing in front of fans that were insanely loud.

Minnesota Vikings Players, fans and coaches all noticed the sound that echoed from the HHH Metrodome as the Minnesota Vikings Roster took on and trampled the Dallas Cowboys. Though to their credit, the Cowboys fans in attednece at the Vikings Dome were loud and proud.... screaming for the Cowboys just about as much as the Vikings Fans could scream "Skol Vikings". What a way to end the Vikings Home Season.

Minnesota Vikings Playoff Game just days away..

The events staff at the HHH Metrodome are certainly working overtime this week getting ready for the NFL Playoff Game that will take place on Sunday at the Dome. The Minnesota Vikings will take on the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at the Metrodome, for the chance to play in the NFC Championship.

Both teams have an extremely loyal following and the game is expected to be a total sell out. Vikings Fans are saying that they want the Cowboys to walk into the Dome to a sea of purple... though Cowboys fans are known for traveling, so I'm guessing the Metrodome will be a mix of Cowboys and Vikings Fans on Sunday.

There are still some great seats left on the secondary market for the Vikings Playoff Game but these seats are selling quickly and the prices are only going to continue to go up the closer and closer the game gets.

SKOL VIKINGS!

Minnesota Vikings Playoff Mania makes the HHH Metrodome the place to be!

MN Vikings Defense
The Minnesota Vikings made the playoffs... not new news, but with the blowout win against the New York Giants this past weekend at the Metrodome, the Minnesota Vikings sealed the deal on playing their first playoff game in the Metrodome.


Very similar to the end of the Minnesota Twins season, the Metrodome has pulled out some of its magic and is getting ready for one of the biggest Minnesota Vikings Playoff Games ever. Minnesota Vikings fans know that they have to win not only on January 17th but also several other stars need to align if the Vikings have a chance of taking on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship. But fast-forward to that game (if it happens) and just imagine... the Metrodome Mania will be even crazier!


Scoop up Minnesota Vikings Playoff Tickets and don't miss your chance to cheer on the Vikes from the seats of the Metrodome.
