Vikings | Team has potential scheduling problem with Twins
Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:07:29 -0700
Paul Domowitch, of the Philadelphia Daily News, reports the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Twins are having a dispute over the use of the Metrodome. The Vikings are scheduled to host the Detroit Lions Oct. 8, but the Twins could be hosting Game 5 of the AL Division Series that day if they win the AL Central. The Twins' lease agreement with the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission gives them postseason scheduling priority with the stadium. However, that agreement expired in 2004. The Vikings could decide to switch home games with the Lions and play in Detroit Dec. 10, but the Vikings don't want to switch because it would mean four of their final five games are on the road. Another option is to move the game to Monday, Oct. 9, but the Vikings are not happy with that idea either. The NFL is saying they are exploring all of their options.
