Top Games of 2010-2011: October 31 at New England Patriots

Former Minnesota Viking Randy Moss On Sunday October 31st, the Minnesota Vikings will travel to Foxboro Stadium to take on the New England Patriots. Every season New England is a championship caliber team and the Minnesota Vikings will be ready for the test against one of the AFC's best. Former Minnesota Viking wide receiver Randy Moss is currently a Patriot and this will the first time he squares off against his old team that drafted him. If Brett Favre returns and Tom Brady plays, that will feature two of the best quarterbacks in history on the field at the same time. You can expect a high scoring game as both offenses can move the football efficiently. I know I can't wait for this matchup.

Metrodome Purple Makeover

HHH Metrodome For the first time this summer since 1981, the Metrodome is not home to the Minnesota Twins. Walking downtown Minneapolis and seeing the stadium still decorated with Minnesota Vikings apparel shows it is just now home to the Vikings. Now, the Metrodome is getting another face lift to make it more of a Vikings look. The Metrodome is getting a purple makeover, with parts of the stadium painted purple and gold. The old red beams on the exterior of the dome are getting a coat of purple paint. The inside is also getting a makeover, with areas that used to be red are now purple or gold, including bathroom walls. Also, new artificial turf will be put in by August 28th.

November 21: Green Bay Packers at Mall of America Field

Former Green Bay Packer and current Minnesota Viking Brett FavreEvery year, the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings square off against eachother two times. There have been countless memories over the years for the rivalry. Last season when quarterback Brett Favre joined the Minnesota Vikings, it upped the ante in economic proportions. Brett Favre had quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers for 16 years and was pretty much the President of the state of Wisconsin.

Last season, Minnesota swept Green Bay winning both games. If Brett does return to the Minnesota Vikings, it will make for another classic showdown between the two rivals. On November 21, you can expect a packed house at Mall of America Field for the Minnesota Vikings.

Can't Wait for Minnesota Vikings vs. Dallas Cowboys October 17th

Dallas Cowboy Tight End Jason Witten Tackled By 2 Viking Players
Already looking forward to the NFL season? Well, that makes two of us. I can't wait to attend the Minnesota Vikings games at the Metrodome this season. The Minnesota Vikings will host the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, and Chicago Bears at the Metrodome. The game I am most looking forward to is the game versus the Dallas Cowboys on October 17th. After destroying the Cowboys last season in the playoffs the Cowboys are going to look for some revenge. The Dallas Cowboys always come with a big target on their back as they are self-titled "America's Team." It always feels good when the Minnesota Vikings defeat the Dallas Cowboys.

Metrodome Light Rail Stop

The Light Rail with Metrodome behind
A convenient mode of transportation to the Metrodome is the Metrodome Light Rail Stop. It's a great way getting to and from the Metrodome in Downtown Minneapolis. The closest stop on Metro Transit Station for the Metrodome is the Downtown East/Metrodome on the Hiawatha Line. It is the fifth stop southbound. It is about 1 block from the Metrodome and is easily accessible. It's a great way to avoid parking and being stuck in traffic following a game. The stop before the Metrodome stop is Government Plaza and the one following it is Cedar-Riverside.
