Those tickets, apparently, won’t sell themselves.

If you live in within 75 miles of the metro area and want to see the Vikings game on television this Sunday, you might be out of luck. The team still needs to sell more than 3,500 tickets or the game will be blacked-out to local audiences.

The Vikings haven’t had a game blacked-out since 1997. Why can't General Mills buy up all of those tickets the way they did back in the good old days? Some corporation needs to step up and do the right thing because driving to Minneapolis this weekend isn't an option for us here at Cold Omaha.

Please, please, please Mr. or Ms. Corporation muckity mucks: buy those tickets and give the fans the game they so richly deserve. Or, maybe the Vikings could find some offensive talent by Friday and then the fans will buy the tickets on their own. Either way, just get the game on TV.
