Vikes have 20,000 tickets for sale

The Vikings have put out the word:

They need you!

Well, maybe not you, but they need warm bodies to fill the Metrodome. The team has announced that it has 20,000 tickets available for Sunday afternoon's playoff game against the Eagles. That's right -- 20,000.

“We appreciate our loyal fans and want to ensure they understand tickets are still available at all price levels for this game,” said Vikings Vice President of Sales and Marketing/Chief Marketing Officer Steve LaCroix. “We’re encouraging fans to experience the atmosphere of the team’s first home playoff game since 2000 and give the Vikings the continued home field advantage we enjoyed throughout the regular season.”

They say prices range from $30 to $160, and that more information is at ticketmaster.com.
