No blackout deadline extension needed this time; Sunday’s Cardinals-Vikings NFL game a sellout

Cardinals say NFL game vs Vikings is sold out

TEMPE, Ariz. — There was no need for another 24-hour extension on the television blackout deadline this time.

The Arizona Cardinals say their game Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings has sold out.

Arizona has needed a blackout deadline extension from the NFL four times already this season before it got sellouts.

League rules require that games be sold out 72 hours prior to kickoff in order for them to air live on local TV.

The Cardinals now have sold out all 40 games at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, which opened in 2006.
