Vikings @ Rams 1/16/00  Vikings 37  Rams 49

My one and only visit to the TWA dome to see the divisional round of the playoffs. I returned from the Vikings Wildcard game Cowboys @ Vikings 1/9/2000 , bought a ticket and then drove to St. Louis. Another long drive back to the Springs as my Vikings got dismantled by the eventual Super Bowl XXXIV champs.
