Nearly 3,000 tickets remaining for Vikings' game versus Tebow, Broncos

The Minnesota Vikings' sellout streak could be in jeopardy.

Steve LaCroix, the Vikings' vice president of sales and marketing, said on Monday morning there are a little more than 3,000 tickets remaining for Sunday's game against Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos.

The Vikings have until noon Thursday to sell out the game or risk their first local TV blackout since 1997.

The NFL last week changed the game from a 3:15 p.m. kickoff to noon and moved it from CBS to Fox to ensure a larger audience.

The Broncos (6-5) have won four consecutive games with Tebow at quarterback and are one game back of first-place Oakland in the AFC West Division standings.
