Metro Dome

[jjtweeks]

Talk to cousin in MN today and there are rumors up there that there may be damage to the metrodome. Big blizzard up there. Also the Giants' team flight had to be re-routed to Kansas City. Officials have not changed the start time of game but stay on top of this if you have players there.

More snow will be on its way. The Pineapple Express from Hawaii is drenching us in rain right now. Flood watches in every Western Washington county. That rain system will become snow once it crosses the Cascades and Rockies.

The Vikes have one option if the Metrodome is unplayable, but it isn't a great one. They can play at the University of Minnesota's field if necessary. Its an outdoor facility that would need to be cleared and cleaned up.

Wow. Doubt Favre could stand up long outdoors.

So at what point would the choice be made to move the game OR cancel it? Doesnt sound like the Giants have a good shot of getting in.

 

[catman]

If they can't get in, what happens? Do the Vikes win by forfeit and Favre gets a QB rating of 200?

Gophers

Your right that that would be the option is to play where the Gophers play

 

[Miller]

If the dome is still usable, you could see them push it to Monday as well.....

 

[Sgt John]

I hadnt thought about that. I guess the choice comes down to whether or not the Dome is safe to use.

 

[catman]

That would be interesting for the TV people. Which games will they televise in which markets?

 

[jjtweeks]

Game moved to Monday night

Game has been moved to monday night folks

Good choice. We wouldnt want Brett to get cold.

 

[Miller]

smart move.

I'm assuming that game will only be available on Minny and NY local TV?

Gotta keep the "talent" comfortable.

That should increase the playoff anticipation having to wait for the Purple Jesus o run on MNF!

 

[Cerberus]

smart move.

NY/Minny is being shown on fox and the other one is still on espn. An extra day still won't help Favre, he's thru. He'll start to keep the streak alive but by 2nd/3rd possession TJ is playing. And the Favre drama continues. :xpopcorn:

It should be clear by now, that God is buying Brett time.
Be very careful about what you say about Favre.

:shh:

WOW, what the hell now? Does the game to to NY now? Or do they just play on the Gophers feild? What about all the fans that came from out of town to see the game and are staying in hotels and have to work on monday?
