Game time: 7 PM Central
Where: Some dome in Minneapolis
T.V.: It's on KCTV in Kansas City and I doubt it's broadcast many other places. I seem to recall last year heading to a bar to watch the first preseason game and they said DirectTV's Sunday Ticket didn't carry all of the preseason games. I'm not sure if that's true or not though.
Radio: 101 The Fox
I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the Friday night Kansas City Chiefs games, or NFL games for that matter. I always enjoyed filling up my final weekend day with football, not the last day of the work week.
This morning, to get you primed, I've got a few tidbits of info from the media guide released for this week's game. You can follow Vikings news over at the Daily Norseman.
