Dear Minnesota Vikings players and coaches:
There are literally 100s of thousands of very loyal fans who would love to be at the Metrodome watching our favorite team! The problem is that we simply cannot afford to go to the games. For me to take my family of four to the game, parking and/or transportation, food and beverages amounts to $400-$500. For me, that is half of my pay for a week. I simply cannot do it. I'd love to, but economically, I can't. Most of the players earn in a game, what I make in a year. And more power to you. You deserve it! So don't be upset at us. We love our Vikings!
Where are all the big Minnesota Corporations who have been cutting our pay and reaping stock benefits. Have them buy the tickets and share them with their employees. Heck, we'll even pay for the tix out of our paychecks over time.
Just remember this is no reflection of our loyalty to our team, we just have to take care of our families first. That's where I am at! Go Vikes!!!!
i also cannot afford 500 to take my family to the game. joeyb what kind of job do you have that pays 1000 a week, thats more than i make in 2 weeks!
