Updated list: Places to watch Vikings
HJH6511
reportedly show every Vikings game. Many of these watering holes,
restaurants and sports bars are places where groups of Vikings fans (and
occasionally organized fan clubs) gather. No guarantees, of course -- let
me know if any places on this list don't work out (These things happen: I
was one of the many victims of the sudden, shocking loss of Casey's in the
District of Columbia as a Vikings bar). Let me know if there are other
places where you congregate to watch games.
Special thanks to Ajit Balakrishna, who started this list, and to Scott
Woyak, keeper of an awesome unofficial Vikings home page on the World Wide
Web.
