Consider these essentials to throw the best party for the big game, from CBS Local's Eat See Play.
The cheapest seats for this Sunday's Super Bowl are going for $1,500 a piece. That's down from nearly $2,500 last week due to fears of cold and rainy weather at the outdoor MetLife Stadium. According to Ticket King, the Minnesota-based ticket reseller, there are about 4,000 available tickets left on the secondary market for the 82,000-seat venue. Andrew Baydala, executive director of business operations for Ticket King, says a 50-yard line club seat ticket is now going for nearly $9,000 on the secondary market.
Minnesota political and business leaders say the cold-weather state would be ideally suited to host the 2018 Super Bowl in the Vikings' new climate-controlled indoor stadium. Gov. Mark Dayton and a team of business and community leaders launched Minnesota's bid on Monday while area temperatures were below zero.
The third Monday of every January is one of ten national holidays that government employees get every year. Most children have no school and every state and federal employee receives a paid day off. The first official observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a federal holiday was on January 20, 1986 – 18 years after the Civil Rights leader was shot. But David Chang, a professor of U.S. history at the University of Minnesota, says the idea for the holiday came just four days after the assassination in 1968.

On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will take the field at the Metrodome for the last time.

"I've been a Vikings fan since I was a kid so it was fun," said Jay Siebel. "It's going to be bittersweet tomorrow."
Sunday marks the end of an era in Minnesota sports history. The Vikings last regular-season game will be the final event at the Metrodome before demolition begins, making way for a new stadium. For the past month, concession workers have been sharing their memories on a growing message board. The tunnels underneath the Metrodome are a place where few fans have ever traveled, but near the loading elevator, history is on display.
Former NFL supervisor of officials Jerry Seeman, who worked as the chief referee in two Super Bowls, has died after a long bout with cancer at age 77. Seeman died Sunday at his home in Blaine, Minn., league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Monday. The St. Paul Pioneer Press first reported the death of Seeman, who was an NFL game official from 1975 to 1990, including 12 seasons as a lead referee. Seeman moved to the league office in 1991 and served 10 years as the supervisor of officials until his retirement. "Jerry modernized and improved NFL officiating during his 10 seasons leading the department," Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement distributed by the league. "He was very proud of being a football official, and he always made the NFL proud through his skill, integrity, and professionalism."
A local egg company has been named one of four finalists competing to have their ad played at this year's Super Bowl in February. Locally Laid Egg Company has already beat out thousands of others to get this far and now they need your help to get more votes.
Sometimes, that old adage about making lemonade from lemons is more than a little true. Although in the case of Wrenshall's Locally Laid, maybe it's a case of making omelets from—well—eggs.
According to the owners of Locally Laid Eggs, their chickens are known as athletes. Oh, and they're all named 'Lola.' The egg company is one of the finalists in a competition to win free ad time during the Super Bowl. The family farmers were in the Twin Cities Monday in an effort to get out the vote for the contest, which is sponsored by the software company Intuit. Owners Lucy and Jason Amundsen, along with their kids and the Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson, were celebrating the announcement at the Seward Co-Op in south Minneapolis.
Most businesses would jump at the chance for a Super Bowl ad. But with a price tag at around $4 million for just 30 seconds, it's a cost many companies can't afford. This February, we could see one Minnesota company featured on that national stage.
