Minnesota Vikings Tickets
Minnesota Vikings tickets quickly sell as one of the oldest NFC teams with a strong start. With such a rick history, the Vikings football team has become one of the most watch football teams in the north.
Pro football in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area (the "Twin Cities") began with the Minneapolis Marines/Red Jackets, an NFL team that played intermittently in the 1920s-30s. However, a new professional team in the area did not surface again until August 1959, when three Minneapolis businessmen Bill Boyer, H. P. Skoglund and Max Winter were awarded a franchise in the new American Football League. Five months later in January 1960, the ownership group along with Bernie Ridder forfeited its AFL membership and then was awarded the National Football League's 14th franchise with play to begin in 1961.
The team was officially named the Minnesota Vikings on September 27, 1960; the name is partly meant to reflect Minnesota's place as a center of Scandinavian American culture. The team continued to succeed in 1970 and 1971 reaching the playoffs due to the effort of a stubborn defense that gave the team the nickname "The Purple People Eaters".
On May 15, 1981, the Vikings moved into a new facility in suburban Eden Prairie that houses the team's offices, locker room and practice fields. The complex was named "Winter Park" after Max Winter, one of the Vikings' founders, who served as the team's president from 1965 to 1987. The Vikings played their final game at Metropolitan Stadium on December 20 to conclude the 1981 NFL season by losing to the Kansas City Chiefs, 10–6.
On August 18, 2009, after months of speculation and negotiations, often retired Quarterback Brett Favre, who, until 2007 played for division rival Green Bay Packers, signed a two-year, $25 million deal with the Vikings. Favre is universally acknowledged to be a future hall of fame player, holding the NFL all-time record for most touchdown passes. Coincidentally, he took the record from Dan Marino (420 TD passes) in 2007 while playing for the Green Bay Packers against the Vikings.
The divisional schedule this season includes the November 15 game at12:00 pm with the Detroit Lions at home in the Mall of America Field, November 29 at 12:00 pm with the Chicago Bears at home in Mall of America Field, and December 28 at 7:30 pm at Chicago Bears Soldier Field.
