Just kinda curious as to why they moved the Vikings VS Giants game 11 hours away from the Metrodome? And will it be able to accomadate all people with reserved tickets?

It had to be a dome and it was between Detroit and New Orleans because Fox already had their cameras set up in Detroit and New Orleans. If they went somewhere else, the game would have been delayed by another day so Fox can set up their equipment to televise it.

There was no other NFC Team (Fox Games) that plays in a dome that played a home game yesterday with Fox cameras already set up where Minn/NY could have the game.

ETA: Arizona is an NFC dome team that played at home yesterday but it was a CBS game.

I don't know if anyone knows or cares, but this game will be televised on the NFL Sunday Ticket on channel 710 for those have the package and care to watch. I haven't seen anywhere else that the game will be televised, including NFL Network.
