THE LATEST (UN-OFFICIAL) WORD IS THAT TEMPORARY SEATS WILL BE INSTALLED IN  
THE OPEN SIDE OF THE STADIUM.

Not a  lot of other Big Ten related news today, so I thought it might be 
worth  mentioning that the Vikings have decided the Metrodome roof 
cannot be  repaired in time to host the Bears on the 20th, so they're 
planning to  move the game to TCF Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota 
Gophers.

The  current forecast for Monday night is for single-digit temperatures.
Frozen  tundra, anybody?  

They've put out a call for volunteers to come  help shovel the snow from 
the stadium seating area, and they still haven't  announced how they're
going to handle the ticket issue, complicated by the  fact that TCF Bank
only seats 50,000 and there are 54,000 Vikings season  ticket holders.
(Whether beer sales will be permitted has also not been  announced, I don't
know if the NCAA or the Big Ten has any rules covering  that.)
