I hear mixed things about Vikings tailgating. I love going to other stadiums, so here's my tips:

 

1. Most important, drink socially but do not get drunk. Don't get buzzed if you can help it. A few people are going to try and bait you and you just have to smile and disarm them.

 

2. Make sure people know you traveled to support your team. Most people can respect that.

 

3. Cheer for your team. No need to stand up on Defense every play, it's not helping the team and just annoying people around you. When its 3rd down, cheering loud should be fine, although you will still get some lip about it.

 

4. Never lower yourself to the drunk guys argument. Make sure you take the time to say hi to the people around you and be friendly so when that douche starts trying to call you out, you might get support from the other teams fans around you.

 

5. Tell people how much you like Adrian Petersen and that old Purple People Eater defense. And that you hate the Packers.

 

6. Win or lose, enjoy the experience.

1. Tell them that a true Minnesotan would know the names of at least 5,000 of their 10,000 lakes or so. Give them 5 minutes to name as many as they can.

 

2. Ask them who the idiot was that designed the dome. After all, doesn't everyone know it snows in Minnesota and how do they not know the roof probably shouldn't collapse when it does snow.

 

3. Remind them that Duante Culpepper's career essentially ended in Carolina one Sunday afternoon in 2005 when his LCL, MCL and ACL in one knee were shredded. The line, "I was there for that..." will always win you friends.

I did something like that in 2007 for the season opener, won a charity bid for a charter trip with a lot of the team sponsors though, not a fan trip - to St Louis. Great time, the charter flight was great, the flight attendants were serving free alcohol and snacks en route, there was a bus waiting for us at the ramp..have a blast and take some pictures to share!

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
