MINNEAPOLIS -- For those of you Minnesota Vikings fans who like to plan road trips around opportunities to see your favorite team away from home, Monday's news that NFL owners approved the Oakland Raiders' move to Las Vegas might have come as good news.
The Raiders' forthcoming move to Vegas -- a popular warm-weather getaway for Midwesterners -- means another high-profile destination for the jet-setting Vikings crowd (and, depending on how demand shapes up, another possible market where Minnesota fans might be able to score tickets with relative ease).
For Vikings fans looking to pair an NFL game with a weekend in the sunshine, though, the NFL's schedule rotation means at least two trips to Los Angeles will come before Minnesota's first visit to Vegas.
