MINNESOTA – Chants of “Skol!” roared through the Vikings’ state-of-the-art stadium as fans celebrated the “Minneapolis Miracle,” a playoff comeback against the New Orleans Saints.
That was the last time the Vikings played high-stakes football at home. They missed out on truly hosting the Super Bowl there last February.
Entering that intimidating cauldron Sunday is a 49ers team determined to make its own playoff noise this season.
