My first game as a kid was at the Dome, so my only outdoor Vikings experience before TCF Bank was at Arrowhead against the Chiefs in December 1999.  I made it to 3 games at TCF and loved the outdoor experience.  However, this game was something completely different.  Like BlackMagic7 stated above, this was a bucket list type of game for me.  I always wanted to get a feel for what those old games at the Met were like in December and January and this one definitely fit the bill.  I believe it was the 3rd coldest NFL game of all-time if I remember correctly.  I also remember the great atmosphere and partly because of their passion, but probably mostly because it was too cold to sit, everyone in the stadium stood for the entire game and the place was extremely loud.

Here's one of the few pics I took of the game.  We actually scalped our tickets outside the stadium before the game for $100/each and luckily our seats were on the sunny side of the field.



And yes, the FG post to the right is where the infamous FG was missed.  From our vantage point, the fans in our area actually cheered for a second or two because you couldn't really tell (or couldn't believe your eyes) that Walsh had missed it.

I was opposite corner of stadium, corner end-zone, row 2, second deck. I saw it miss from the get go

I as at this game also with friends. Sectipn 242 Row 11 I believe.  Shade side at about the 30 yd line looking down. Great game. Bad outcome. We were cold even dressing for it. We did enjoy a schaudenfreude moment watching a young couple (Seattle fans out of towners) physically shaking from the cold. They were wearing light clothing for the temps encountered. Watching that missed fg still pisses me off. Was with same buddy who was with me at the 1998 NFC Championship game and said "Wouldn't it be great if it came down to a fg in overtime? "  I said next time stfu John. Oh well. 

The football god's owe us one.
