The Minnesota Vikings are an NFL team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings play their games out of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome Minneapolis. The Minnesota Vikings are the first team to both play in and lose four Super Bowls. Before the Minnesota Vikings moved to the Metrodome, they played their home games at Metropolitan Stadium. In the early days of the Vikings, Minnesota Vikings tickets were a hot ticket, with first-year Viking season ticket sales of nearly 26,000 and an average home attendance of 34,586.
The Minnesota Vikings went to four Super Bowls from 1969 to 1976, but were unable to win one of them. The Vikings lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders in their chronological Super Bowl appearances.
Perhaps the greatest Minnesota Vikings club of all time came in the year 1998, when the Vikings drafted Randy Moss to team up with outstanding possession receiver Cris Carter. Carter ran underneath routes and killed teams if they played a cover 2 defense against the deep threat of Randy Moss. The '98 Vikings finished a franchise best 15-1 but failed to win the NFC Championship game against the Atlanta Falcons, becoming the first 15-1 team to not reach the Super Bowl.
The purple and gold Minnesota Vikings returned to the NFC Championship game in 2000 under quarterback Daunte Culpepper. But the Minnesota Vikings were humiliated in that game, losing 41-0, the worst loss in franchise history. The Vikings are now coached by former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brad Childress. The Vikings went 8-8 in the 2007 season, just missing the NFL playoffs.
With the drafting of Adrian Peterson with the seventh overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, Minnesota Vikings fans have hope for the future. Peterson broke the NFL record set by Jamal Lewis in 2003 for most rushing yards in one game when Peterson went for 296 yards against the San Diego Chargers in the Metrodome. The mere presence of Adrian Peterson on the Minnesota Vikings roster will sell many Minnesota Vikings tickets. Don't miss out on your chance to see Peterson rip off a huge touchdown run at the Metrodome. Get Minnesota Vikings tickets now.
