Can you imagine living in Minnesota without the Vikings? It's might become reality sooner than you think. Now imagine if Vikings country were really Packer land. That could happen too. That's the message one YouTube video is getting across.

When was the last time the Vikings and Gophers won on the same weekend? Two weeks ago! It's sudden fortune for two football teams mired in misery the past few years, and fans can't get enough...

The Vikings are changing the way it checks fans coming into Mall of America Field. Instead of getting a patdown, ticket holders will now be checked with a metal-detecting wand. The change starts this Sunday before the Oakland Raiders game, and will be fully implemented before the Dec. 4 home game against the Denver Broncos.

Gov. Mark Dayton along with Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf are at the Capitol to announce an agreement to construct a new stadium.

Vikings defensive end Jared Allen is sticking his neck out on the stadium issue. He says fans deserve a new place to cheer the Purple simply because the addition of tailgating would create a better game-day atmosphere for the paying customers. He also says the Metrodome is beyond outdated, joking that the Vikings' locker room has four showers with hot water

So what did bored Vikings fans do while Oakland Raiders reciever Darrius Heyward-Bey was being put on a stretcher -- the extent of his injury unknown? The wave, naturally. The Daily Norseman puts it like this: "Dumb move, folks."

The Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority aren't dragging their feet in their effort to keep the new stadium project on track. It's possible that this week they could narrow a field of five architectural firms bidding on the $975 million project. Two or three of the recently submitted bids really stood out, a team spokesman told KSTP.

Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier says he'll decide Sunday if he'll start linebacker E.J. Henderson, who has missed the last two practices with a sore knee. Henderson tells the Star Tribune he's "pretty confident" he'll be ready to play, but Frazier says he wants to be cautious with the injury.
