The Loss of Vikings Tickets in The Metrodome
I am sure that every fan that has season vikings tickets has watched the scene of the Metrodome roof collapse over and over. When you have your seat memorized and have a group of people that you spend 8 or more Sundays together every year it is a little disconcerting to not have any clue what is going to happen. In addition having bought vikings tickets to all the home games how disappointing is it to have two of the home games moved. The move to Ford Field in Detroit was necessary but disturbing to see people lined up to get free vikings tickets to see the game that was mine and then have no home field advantage was heart breaking. Then you try to make the most of having your vikings tickets now translated to some strange seat at the Gophers Stadium. You help Shovel the snow and get the stadium ready and love the end of half time when Bud Grant leaves the stadium in his shirt sleeves like a real man. But it was the loss of another experience that was promised you when those vikings tickets arrived in the mail months ago and now it is gone.
Where will the vikings tickets have me sitting next year
I know that without the Collective Bargaining Agreement there is no guarantee of a national football league season next year. I just keep my fingers crossed that the NFL and the players union know that they can’t afford to let a season be lost again. Come on Rodger Goodell. Then I convince myself it is all going to be okay and I realize even if there is a season, I have no idea where my vikings tickets are going to send me. Will it be back to the University of Minnesota campus or will they get the roof repaired. There really aren’t any options for the next two years but I hate the thought of sinking so much money into a sinkhole that should have never been built. My relationship with the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome is one of love hate. I love the game days but I can’t stand that ugly thing and can’t wait for the Vikings Tickets to take me somewhere as beautiful as the Minnesota Twins new ballpark.
Vikings Tickets Ten Years From Now
Every Minnesota Vikings fan who bleeds purple and gold has a dread that like the other purple and gold team (NBA Lakers) the Vikings tix will soon be printed for a brand new stadium in Los Angeles and will have a new name and new colors. I hope against hope that I am wrong but in the tough economic times people of Minnesota tighten their belts and do without. People of California spend more money even though they are almost bankrupt as a state. My dream of a beautiful new indoor/outdoor stadium seems to be slipping through my proverbial fingers. I hope that my grandson will be enjoying vikings tickets with me in two decades but it might be the end of an era.
