That is just snow falling, not the entire sky.
Bearstuff, you sound just like Dr. Seuss by spinning your rhymes!

What's next: The Vikings will play next Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Where that game is held is anyone's guess. If the Metrodome roof isn't repaired in time, the game is expected to be moved to the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium -- an outdoor facility that seats about 50,000. An outdoor, prime-time game in Minnesota's late-December weather? Bring your parkas.

I doubt Favre will even play,he may wind up on the IR for the season.
He stated that he wasn't going to play if he coundn't feel his hand,(numbness).
Wherever the Bears play,please don't make Jackson look like a world beater;or let Peterson loose.

Sounds like there is A LOT of work to be done to TCF Bank Stadium, like remove 15+ inches of snow off the field and in the stands, turning the water back on and un-winterizing all the concessions & bathrooms. I got my fingers crossed for another Monday night game in Detroit (so I can drive up & cheer on our beloved), but doubt the Viks or the NFL wants the team/state too loss $$$$ two weeks in a row to an outside venue.

TCF Bank Stadium needs to know today whether it’ll host NFL game
Posted by Mike Florio on December 14, 2010, 9:56 AM EST
Vikings fans have gotten a Ghost-of-Christmas-Future glimpse of what it would be like for the home team to play a home game in a place other than their home of 50 years. In six days, Vikings fans may get a chance to see what it would be like to once again play in a home without a dome.
The folks who run TCF Bank Stadium, the open-air facility in which the University of Minnesota plays its home games, need to know by the end of the day whether the venue needs to be unwinterized in time for a Winter Solstice Eve game to be televised nationally on ESPN. Per the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the powers-that-be need six days to get the place ready for some football.
“It’s not as easy as just throwing a switch or a valve and walking away,” University of Minnesota assistant athletic director Scott Ellison said. “You have to open up the water line and make sure there’s no leaks and make sure everything is running properly.”
Ellison pointed out that the stadium isn’t designed for late-December football. “It wasn’t built for those types of temperatures, so there are some other issues that we have to look at as far as making sure that if we do open a concession stand for a game, we don’t freeze a sprinkler pipe or freeze water lines once they are back in service,” Ellison said.
The biggest challenge? Removing all the snow from the same storm that collapsed the Metrodome.
There’s a chance that the Metrodome also will be ready. If the Vikings want to be sure that they’ll be playing in Minnesota on Monday night, it would be wise (but expensive) to commence aggressive efforts to prepare both places for the game.

"Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak."
"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."

sure they are a better team but if not for the weather I bet those two opportunistic picks we could have had probably would have been picks and would have changed the game a little.

Not on a train! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! Tom! Let me be!
We would not, could not, in a box.
We could not, would not, with a fox.
We will not beat them with a mouse
We will not beat them in our house.
We will not beat them here or there.
We will not beat them anywhere.
We just can't beat them, Tom-I-am.

I hope it's held in Detroit. That would be more a home game for us.
