Vikings need to sell tickets

The Minnesota Vikings still need to sell 3,500 Vikings tickets by noon on Thursday or else the team’s season opener vs. the Atlanta Falcons will face a blackout. A blackout would keep the game off TV screens in the Twin Cities, Rochester, Mankato, Austin, Alexandria and other areas in the region. The number of available tickets is down from 5,800 remaining last week, but there are only two days left to help keep the Vikings on their run of 96 consecutive sellouts at the Metrodome. The last Vikings blackout was in 1997. The NFL requires the Vikings to sell 62,000 tickets to consider the HHH Metrodome a sell-out so Vikings fans buy Vikings tickets now!
