I'm a few hours from several SEC and ACC venues. Cautiously optimistic might be able to take in a game or two in the late Fall.

They're all good, night games the VERY BEST...

Watch the schedule, see if the Vikes get any prime time this year. The home schedule has some marquee teams including Seahawks, Cowboys, Brownies...

Actually, now that I think about it, i don't think I've ever been to a night game. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Was in Minneapolis this past weekend and booked a hotel a couple of blocks away just so I could stare at the outside of the stadium. Really looking forward to visiting soon

the tailgating is better,  but I hate dealing with the uber wasted all day party crowd at the night games,  just seems that there is more dumb shit at those games....and then after the game its usually way more exciting/entertaining/disturbing....

Football makes one truly appreciate the joys of day drinking.

This is so true. My wife asks my why I'm day drinking for the Wells Fargo Championship (Golf) and I can only respond that I am a creature of habit. Oops

Sunday night games are the best. I bring a 65" TV to the tailgate lot. We watch the Sunday games, cook, eat and drink. 

And once inside the stadium, it's a light show and so much fun. I take the next day off  :3

Oh and @MaroonBells - Definitely let us all know if you plan to make it into town for a game. I need to check the schedule as I have a trip planned in October. Even if I'm not around you're still welcome to join the tailgate. Or maybe I can sell you my seats!

Hey, I'm in, let me know! Already booked the Normandy for the Detroit game on 10/10, but I might also book it for the week before--10/3 against Cleveland--and then just cancel the one I don't make. Let me know which works best and how many tickets you have in case you can't make it. I'm definitely bringing the kids. They LOVE Mpls and can't wait to go.
