If you don't get enough Vikings action at today's game, check out the second annual After-Game Season Kick Off Party at Aqua in downtown Minneapolis. Superstar running back Adrian Peterson will host the night, with proceeds benefiting his All Day Foundation. Other Vikings should be there, too. Might we see Brett Favre? Hmm, not sure he's the club-going type.
