(Pioneer Press: Sherri LaRose-Chiglo)Black Lives Matter St. Paul is planning a "Shut Down Action" along the light-rail line in St. Paul before the Minnesota Vikings home opener in Minneapolis on Sunday.
The group announced on Facebook Thursday that it plans to interrupt light-rail service at a gathering beginning at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at the TCF Bank location at Lexington Parkway and University Avenue.
Green Line trains run along University Avenue and stop on the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus, where the Vikings will be playing at TCF Bank Stadium. Game time is noon.
