Vikings Extend Sellout Streak To 3 More Games

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The next three Minnesota Vikings home games are assured to be televised locally.

The Vikings play three weeks in a row at the Metrodome, starting Sunday against the Detroit Lions. They also host the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 22 and the Chicago Bears on Nov. 29.

Vikings chief marketing officer Steve LaCroix says there are less than 1,000 tickets remaining for the the Lions and Seahawks games as of Tuesday afternoon. The Bears game has "very limited" availability.

The Vikings haven't had a game blacked out since 1997, but several times in the last few years they barely beat the deadline to establish a virtual sellout. With Brett Favre at quarterback this season and a 7-1 record, sales have naturally picked up.

The Minnesota Vikings played its first season in 1961.
