Vikings Announce 97th Consecutive Sellout

The Minnesota Vikings today announced the 2007 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons will be the team’s 97th consecutive sellout. The game, dedicated as “Heroes Day” in honor of the victims and their families, the first responders and those injured in the 35W bridge collapse, will be televised locally on KMSP FOX 9.“This was a team effort by our fans, our local broadcast partner, KMSP FOX 9, and other corporate programs” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Steve LaCroix. “In addition, we also have the privilege of donating tickets to our heroes who will be honored at Sunday’s game. As a result of the sellout, not only will we have the home field advantage that our loud and passionate fans provide, but we’re also thrilled that Vikings fans will be able to watch the game on local television.”As with all home games, limited tickets are still available through Ticketmaster and the Vikings ticket office due to visiting team returns.
