Vikings Season Opener: One Week from Sunday

I literally can't wait for the Vikings season to start so I just have to write about it right now. The Vikings are one week away from their showdown in San Diego. I like this is as a first game for the Vikings and I'll tell you why: the San Diego Chargers are historically poor starters. This is such excellent news that it is unbelievable. I wouldn't want to face the San Diego Chargers any other time of year because they normally start the year off terribly and then get red hot, just in time for the playoffs. Vikings are catching them at the right time and I'm so pumped.

With Minnesota Vikings Schedule Out, Metrodome on the Hot Seat

With the 2011-2012 Minnesota Vikings schedule released, the Metrodome is now on the hot seat. They will have to make sure to finish their rebuilding schedule by the first game. Of course, this is all barring a lockout since there may not even be a season. Hopefully the Metrodome will be completed in time for the Minnesota Vikings to play their preseason games as well. The first two preseason games are on the road, giving the process two more weeks to complete.

Metrodome Roof Update

The Metrodome Roof Repair will officially begin today. The repairs should take the rest of the spring and a large part of the summer, as three large panels will be replaced before the roof is reinflated. After that part is completed, then comes the cleanup of the field. Slowly but surely the Metrodome roof will be back on, and hopefully games will be played. The hope is that the Minnesota Vikings will be playing there for the 2011-2012 NFL Season. Bookmark my blog for any Metrodome roof updates!

RT Rybak Only Supports New Minnesota Vikings Stadium At or Near Metrodome Location

The Minnesota Vikings are working on a new stadium. The mayor of Minneapolis, RT Rybak, wants to see a new stadium for the fans of the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, RT Rybak voiced his opinion on the ongoing location debate. Rybak only supports a new stadium at or near the current Metrodome location. While Rybak has said he believes the Metrodome is the best site available, he has stopped short of criticizing the Arden Hills location that poses as a possbility for a new stadium. Hopefully RT Rybak can help in the stadium negotations.

Will the Metrodome be Home to the Minnesota Vikings in 2011?

The Metrodome roof is just about clear of snow and ice. The repairing process looks like it is about to officially begin. When the stadium is fixed, a major question looms. Will the Minnesota Vikings be playing at the Metrodome in 2011? Will TCF Bank Stadium be the new home for the team? Will the Metrodome roof collapse trigger a push for a new stadium? Will the reparations be worth fixing the Metrodome or should that money be invested for a new stadium? Offer any comments below.
