Vikings Host Bears Tonight Outdoors

The Minnesota Vikings host the Chicago Bears tonight at 7:30pm, pregame on WJON at 6:30.  The game will be played outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus.  This will be the first outdoor home game for the Vikings in 29 years.  Not everyone is excited about playing at TCF Bank Stadium.  Viking punter Chris Kluwe calls the field "unplayable" after going through a walk-through Sunday.  University of Minnesota officials are confident the field will be safe for the players.  Gates open tonight at 5pm for those with lower level tickets and those with upper level tickets the gates open at 5:30.
