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!!

IF the NFC Championship game had been at the Metrodom, I know we would have won. Plain and simple.
