In the old days, the Minnesota Vikings played in some of the coldest games in the NFL. In 2008, the Vikings may not have to break out any of their cold weather gear at all.
Of course, the Minnesota Vikings play all of their home games in the HHH Metrodome ... meaning those eight games will be climate controlled. They also play at Detroit every year and they play indoors at Ford Field.
The Vikes have two more dome games scheduled: at Arizona and at New Orleans. That means Minnesota has just five outdoor games this year. So, that means just limited time in the wind and snow, right?
Well, two of those outdoor games are in Florida (at Tampa, at Jacksonville). Conditions will probably be ideal then.
So, three games left and we know that trips to Chicago and Green Bay are on that list. There's gotta be one of them late in the season, right?
Wrong. Minnesota opens the season in Green Bay on September 8th. The trip to Chicago is on October 9th. It won't be Daytona Beach on that day in the Windy City ... but it won't be Siberia, either. The only other outdoor game is on September 28th in Nashville.
It's just hard to believe that an NFL team called the Minnesota Vikings could miss out on a cold game all season long.
