The Minnesota Vikings are scheduled to play the Eagles tonight in Philadelphia. It will be the first NFL game to be played on a Tuesday since 1946. The game was originally scheduled for Sunday night, but was moved because of the big snowstorm on the east coast.
This is the third straight Vikings game in which the date, the location or both had to be changed because of weather-related problems.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Brian Murphy, who covers the Vikings for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He's been cooling his heels in Philadelphia for the last couple of days.
