Vikings' Starting QB Still Unknown for Outdoor Monday Night Game

Filed under: Vikings, NFC North

The Minnesota Vikings know where they'll be playing Monday night's home finale against the Chicago Bears. Now they need to figure out who their quarterback is.

With the snow-damaged Metrodome roof unable to be repaired in time, the Vikings have announced that they'll play at the University of Minnesota's outdoor stadium instead. That could result in one of the coldest games in NFL history Monday night, and it will also make the Vikings, along with the 2005 New Orleans Saints, one of just two teams in recent NFL history to play "home" games at three different NFL stadiums.

"We have been in close contact with the University and the NFL office since last weekend," the team said in a statement. "Preparation of the stadium is fully underway and University officials have told us they will make every reasonable effort to ensure the stadium will be ready for Monday night. The league office is assisting our staff and the University to ensure the stadium is safe for our fans and meets the primary technical requirements for an NFL game.
