Minnesota Vikings

In 2013, the NFL’s Vikings and the The Minnesota Metropolitan Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) agreed to construction guidelines for the new Vikings stadium. Replacing the eyesore of the Hubert H.

I have been a Minnesota Vikings fan as long as I can remember. After beginning my education at the Carlson School of Management and learning about the potential careers my degree could lead to, I decided upon my dream career, to be the CFO of the Minnesota Vikings. When I was presented this assignment I viewed it as both an opportunity to connect the concepts discussed in class to a business-setting and to learn about the organization I want to work for. I found Lisa Larson’s information on the Minnesota

A very recent example we can see of stadium bargaining is with the Los Angles Rams. It has been a popular practice to threaten to move an NFL team to Los Angles ever since they lost their team in 1994. Since 1994, there have been twenty proposals by NFL teams threatening to move in order to get stadiums publically financed (Wickersham, Natta, 2016).

On the eve of what should be a national holiday, I ponder my predictions on the upcoming NFL season. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, football is back.

made my way to the bathroom down the hall. As I was finishing with brushing my teeth, I spit in the sink, looked at myself in the mirror with a stern glance and said, “You made it”. After all, I was only 2 short hours from making my way to the Minnesota Vikings first training camp practice of the 2001 NFL season, located near the hotel I was staying in, in Mankato. Although, that wasn’t the only reason why I credited myself. I have been known to struggle with my weight in the past, but I felt good

adrian only needed 208 yards to surpass erik dickerson's 28 year old record of 2105 rushing yards. But at the end of the game peterson would finish with 199 yards just short of the record. On the bright side of things peterson single handedly led the vikings to the playoffs. After the season adrian was named the nfl's MVP.

Firstly, their past is one of the most storied in the National Football League. They've had many notable teams such as the 1970, ‘74, ‘75, and ‘77 Vikings.

From 1974-1976, O.J. Simpson and Chuck Foreman were considered the 2 best runners in the NFL. From 1974-1977, Chuck scored 60 touchdowns. He had 6 productive seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and didn't play much his last season in Minnesota and New England. Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
