Dec 6th Vikings v. Cardinals

by ArizonaVikingsFan on Nov 24, 2009 10:47 AM CST

There is talk on local sports radio (AZ) that the game on the 6th may be 'flexed' to Sunday Night Football. The commentators are looking at the other match-ups available and agree that the Vikings v. Cardinals game is about the best candidate for the flex. I believe they said the others were Pats v. Fins and Giants v. somebody...

In any case, the announcement for flex is supposed to come out 12 days before the game, which means we should know by the end of the day one way or another.

On a related note... Are any of the DN members making the trip to Arizona to take in the game? Any other locals have plans? Let me know.

I will be attending with some Card fans, they party on the 'lawn'. Would love to meet up with some other DNr's if you are going to be there. I've been thinking about making a placard and including a DN 'shout out'. Any suggestions? Would love to get some DN 'love' on the TV.

I will be in my Purple #4 (Favre) Jersey and will be sporting my horns!

My wife and I are coming up from Tucson (with some friends) for the VIKES and Wild games. We’re super excited about the Sunday night announcement! Where is the lawn located, we’ll be staying @ The Rennaissance next to the stadium and would also like to tailgate with some fellow DNr’s! Let me know when you get a chance please! SKOL

You can't miss the lawn!

It’s on the west side of the stadium (Your hotel is to the North). It’s a huge tailgating grassy area in between the parking lots.
There will be live music and much ‘festivities’

Be sure to hit ‘Margaritaville’ during your stay and have a cheeseburger in paradise for me.

I BELIEVE...

ESPN has the game already in the 8:30 spot. This is good because it will give me time to get home from Dallas after covering the Big 12 championship game.

I thought so

Thank you, I will also be sporting the #4 jersey and will keep an eye out for you; I think the DN placard would be a good idea so I can find you in the sea of purple (if it’s anything like last year!!) Looking forward to it!!

Wish I could be there...

but Oregon is just a bit too much of a drive – looking forward to the next Oakland, SF, or Seattle appearance…

Sounds like a great time!

I wish I could but I’m a bit too far away for this one. Love the DN Shout-out idea too! :)))

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!

I’ll be heading up from Tucson also. Last year was a blast seeing the vikes have homefield advantage pretty much on the road.

i've got a better suggestion
