Crisis Averted
The Minnesota Vikings narrowly avoided a television blackout for Sunday's opening game. Our local Fox affiliate was gracious enough to buy the remaining tickets. I wonder what's in it for them?
Despite the last minute ticket sales, don't look for big crowds at the Dome this weekend. Aside from the 35W bridge situation, we have about a thousand road construction projects that will form the ultimate convergence of pain for anyone driving to the game. Let us review the damage:
1. 35W (left) from downtown to Highway 62 (locally known as the Crosstown), will be closed over the weekend - both northbound and southbound.
2. Streets around the Metrodome will be closed for most of the day Sunday.
3. Highway 62 (Crosstown) will be closed from Cedar Ave (Highway 77) to Lyndale Avenue - westbound only. Eastbound will remain open.
These projects present the perfect storm for anyone travelling down to the Metrodome for the game. I say good luck to all who will brave the mean streets and represent the rest of us on opening day. Have a dome dog for me.
