Look at this serendipitous row of dominoes in front of you:
The Vikings' win at Lambeau Field last week gave them a home playoff game, which was slotted for noon Sunday against Seattle. In response to that, the Timberwolves moved their home game Sunday against Phoenix from a 2:30 p.m. start time to a 4 p.m. start time. The Wild already was scheduled to host New Jersey at 7 p.m.
That gives Minnesota sports fans a very real and very rare chance at a sports triple-header Sunday. Once those fans stop worrying about the possibility of losing all three games, they should consider these five options when it comes to how to handle the day:
• The deluxe: If you are a fan of Minnesota sports in general, this is your dream day.
Buy great seats to all three games. (Nice lower level tickets for the Vikings and Wild are going for about $150 apiece on Stubhub.com, while good Wolves tickets will set you back about $100.
Take the fanciest Ubers back and forth across town, with no regard for surge pricing, to give you the best chance of seeing every second of every game.
Tailgate before the Vikings. Go out after the Wild game. Call in sick Monday. Quit your job. Write that novel. Live your best life. (Or at least take a half-day).
• The deluxe on a budget: You can get in the door at the Vikings game for $50, the Wild game for $65 and the Wolves game for $25.
