Also, the Vikings' 10/5/69 home game against Green Bay was moved to Memorial Stadium at the University of Minnesota due to the Twins using the Met for their ALCS game against the Orioles.

I did some research a while back (mpls tribune newspapers of that time) on the 1969 green bay game. the game was schedule at memorial stadium as early as august 1969 due to the possibility of the twins making the playoffs. I understand from the newspapers that even if the twins had not made the playoffs. the Viking game would have stayed at memorial stadium. It may have been a test run at a possible move to memorial stadium due to the nfl rule of having a stadium with at least 50, 000 seats.
