If the Twins finish the regular season tied atop the American League Central, like last season, it could create one doozy of a scheduling conflict at the Metrodome.

The Vikings and Packers are scheduled to play on "Monday Night Football" at the Dome on Oct. 5.

But if the Twins need a tiebreaker and secure home-field advantage for that game, they would take precedence at the Metrodome that night, forcing the Vikings and Packers to make other plans, according to Katy Feeney, Major League Baseball's senior vice president for scheduling and club relations.

"The NFL is fully aware of it," Feeney said Friday. "That's one of the reasons they schedule those as intradivision games, so they can flip [home sites] if they need to."

The Vikings are scheduled to play at Green Bay on Nov. 1, so the teams technically could trade home dates.

However, that would throw quite a wrench into one of the biggest regular-season home games in the Vikings' 49-year history, featuring Brett Favre's first appearance against the team with which he spent 16 seasons.

That means plenty of plans already have been made, including by ESPN, which will air the game, and thus moving the Monday night matchup would be extremely difficult. In fact, an NFL source with knowledge of the lease said there is no chance the Vikings game gets moved. That's because the NFL team's lease states it has priority over the Twins for any game other than a World Series game, a fact that conflicts with MLB's belief that the Twins would have priority in the Dome that night.

Last year, the Twins and White Sox finished the 162-game schedule with 88-74 records. At the time, MLB used coin flips to determine home-field advantage for tiebreakers, and the White Sox won the toss. So the tiebreaker was played Sept. 30 in Chicago. It actually was a Tuesday night game, since the White Sox needed to play a makeup game with the Tigers on the Monday after the season.

NFL says no plans for Packers-Vikings site swap
Associated Press

Last update: September 21, 2009 - 10:18 AM

The NFL is not considering swapping sites for the Packers-Vikings games this year in case baseball gets in the way.


Green Bay plays at Minnesota on Monday night, Oct. 5, pitting Brett Favre against his old team.

The Minnesota Twins trail Detroit by three games in the AL Central with 13 left. If the Twins and Tigers finish tied for first place, the Twins will host a tiebreaker game if they beat Detroit in the season series.

Major League Baseball prefers to play tiebreaker games on the Monday right after the regular season. But NFL spokesman Dan Masonson says there is no site swap under consideration for the Packers-Vikings games.

Green Bay hosts Minnesota on Nov. 1

I am guessing that they are hoping there isn't a tie. 😃

Too bad they're denying it. That would be perfect.
