EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP)
The Minnesota Vikings have decided to take advantage of a new NFL policy that makes it easier to keep home games on local television.
The Vikings announced Thursday they'll reduce their target number by about 6,000 seats to 90 percent of Mall of America Field's capacity. The stadium fits in roughly 64,000 fans, and the same number of tickets will still be available for sale. But now a game would only be blacked out if fewer than 90 percent of tickets were sold.
The Vikings have a blackout-free streak of 144 straight games at the Metrodome since 1998. But after a 3-13 season, keeping that up will be a challenge. The downside of opting for the lower target is the Vikings must forgo more of their revenue to visiting teams.
Taking advantage of the new NFL blackout rule will have it's good and bad points. Bad for Packer fans who will likely see fewer games locally, but look on the bright side; we'll get to see the Vikings lose more often.

watching the first half against the chargers tonight i am inclined to revise my estimate of the 2012 season to 3 wins & 13 losses! they look just lousy in the first half the only thing that stands out is the kicking game! it was announced that san deigo had 18 players sidelined, so where is the vikes offense?

I must admit, they looked like contenders against the Texans. Maybe the Texans were to consumed with leaving the Union, that they forgot how to play.  I hope Adrian can get his record against the Packers.

I honestly picked them at 5-11 this year. Over achievers this bunch is. Much like the 2000 Ravens they are winning despite of, not because of, the QB play. I fear for AP's future though. History has shown to not be kind to RB that get used this heavily...

Haven't watched in a while. I did catch the Texans game, though. I must say it was a pretty impressive short-yardage ground game, the kind da Bears used to crush the Vikes with. Back then, with the Vikes, it was either big plays or no plays, and no red zone offense.
It was interesting to note that Ponder had one of the longest carries of the day. The Texans defense looked like they'd been practicing on how to shut AP down, and little else.
Expect no such mercy from Green Bay this weekend.

i had picked them for a 6 win & 10 lost season ! the green bay game is going to an interesting match up. it is to the vikes advantage as to be indoors as well as a home game. ponder has indeed turned his game around, let's just hope it continues! it seems the defense is getting tougher so just hope they can get the pressure on rogers. field goals might just win the game & right now the vikes have the edge in that department.
