The Vikings and Titans are set to meet for the 14th time in the history of their franchises at noon (CT) Sunday.
While this post usually details all of the goings-on inside and outside of U.S. Bank Stadium on a game day, no fans will be in attendance because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vikings Entertainment Network has launched a new array of programing that will deliver elements to fans/bring them to the stadium virtually before kickoff and after the game is over.
