MINNEAPOLIS - There's no doubt, Minnesota had some fun under the Teflon roof of the Metrodome.
"Lots of good memories," said Mike Beling, of Savage. "I'm getting emotional, actually." Even on a frigid Sunday afternoon, tailgating carried on as stories were told.
From Randy Moss lateralling a pass over his shoulder to Moe Williams for a touchdown to Adrian Peterson's record-breaking 296-yard rushing day to a discouraging playoff loss to Atlanta in 1998, fans came out on Sunday to say goodbye.
"We had to come down for the last game a whole bus of us from the Princeton VFW came down. It's been a great time," said Kimberly Jensen, of Princeton. "I am ready for the next chapter. Always move forward."
The Metrodome has been this state's sports haven for 32 years. The famous bubble-top is part of our sports fabric and even with the tight concourses and few frills, many fans say they miss the Metrodome.
Lauren Nahurski, of St. Paul, said the Dome is home for her. She felt she needed to be cheering on the Vikings under the dome on Sunday -- one last time.
"I have been here since I was a child," she said. "Lots of memories here. I was at the last Twins game, and it's very cool to be at last Vikings game."
The Vikings will move to TCF Bank stadium on the University of Minnesota campus for the next two seasons. That stadium has about 50,000 seats, compared to the 64,000 seats in the Metrodome. The team's $1 billion new home will be built on the site where the Metrodome sits now. It's due to open in July of 2016.
Worried about your tailgating ritual? The team hopes to move the pre-game celebrations to the U campus for games starting next season. "We expect there to be tailgating similar to what you would see at a Gophers football game," said Anderson. "We don't want to take away the tradition, and we hope that we'll be able to continue it for those two years."
The team and the city of Minneapolis are still working out how to accommodate tailgaters when the team moves into its new home, where the Metrodome now stands, he added.

I really doubt there would be a whole lot of folks willing to sit in sub-zero degree weather for 3 plus hours. NFL games cost a premium price. Who wants to shell out big bucks and freeze to death? The Vikes had trouble selling out games when they played at the Met in bad weather. If the Wilf's want to shell out an extra $75 - 100 Million for a retractable roof, that would be one thing. Outdoor games in late December / January in Minny? Not attractive for folks used to creature comforts.
Yup. They did for decades.
man I miss the good old days.Well, they are going to play outdoors the next couple seasons. Be interesting to see how they do attendance wise. Of course that also depends on the kind of product they put on the field. If they put out the dreck that they did this season...
Hope they get a good coach and then address the QB position. Maybe get lucky and draft Johnny Fuckin Football. That might help with attendance.
they are morons to build another indoor stadium because ever since they went to indoors,they have been so spoiled by playing indoors,that they have lost that toughness they always had when they played outdoors.Playing outdoors made them tough and they could stand the elements when they played on the road against Chicago and green bay during the regular season.

yeah I just read that.glad to see that for at LEAST a couple years,we'll get to relive the good old days and see them play outdoors again.
NOW they are so spoiled indoors,they have lost that toughness they had when they played outdoors when they went to four superbowls.

Being conditioned to the elements helped them beat teams in Minnesota, but the Superbowls were all in warm weather settings like Miami or New Orleans. Then they had no such advantage and their undersized defensive fronts got steamrolled.
if they had been playing all their home games outdoors,no way do they lose that game back then because they are conditioned for it liek they were back then.
Yup. They did for decades.
Yup. They did for decades.
And it was a great experience.
Ask Miami, Oakland or Dallas what an advantage cold weather teams have when playing outdoors.
How many Superbowls have the Vikes been since playing indoors?
they want to keep missing the playoffs decade after decade,then go ahead,build that indoor stadium again and STAY non committed to getting back to the superbowl.the closest they have come to making it back since going indoors was when they were lucky enough to get Brett farve. thats something as demonstrated with their organization,only happens once in a great blue moon.
