WCCO will wait until the "11th hour"

WCCO vice president and general manager Susan Adams Loyd said the station will wait until the "11th hour" before making a call on how to handle the unsold tickets for Sunday's Vikings' game against the San Diego Chargers.

As of tonight, there are 1,350 tickets remaining, according to Vikings sales and marketing vice president Steve LaCroix.

"We’re devoted to our viewers, and Sunday is a big football day, and we'd be hard pressed to disappoint them," Adams Loyd said. "But the business realites of this are tough. So we’re going to wait until we see what the final numbers are."

The NFL deadline is noon Thursday, and the team can request an extension up until then.
