Trying to decide if I should fly or drive from Chicago. I'd like to fly, but need to be at work on Monday and the latest flight out of MSP on Sunday is at 9:10. As long as there's no over time, the game should be over by 7:00.
Does anyone know when I would get to the airport by? Google Maps tells me it's only a 15 minute drive, but not sure how much that would be impacted by gameday traffic. Would I make it by 7:30, and if so, would that be early enough to get through security? Or say it goes to over time and I can't make it to the airport till 8:00. Is an hour early enough?

Re: Flying out of MSP after Divisional Game
Have you considered taking the Light Rail?
It's only roughly 20 minutes from the stadium to the airport, and no major risk of delays (which is a huge risk if you drive).
Can't imagine that there will be very long security lines on a Sunday night so an hour should be fine, especially if you're not checking any bags.
Just keep in mind that the gate probably closes ~10-20 minutes prior to departure so that hour might in fact not be an hour, but you should still make it imho.
