The Minnesota Vikings have a rich history. Playing their first season in 1961, many great players and amazing moments have happened involving the purple and gold that have created lifelong memories.
Some of the historical memorabilia and commemorative displays will be showcased when the Vikings Museum opens in Eagan Minnesota right between the Twin Cities Orthopedics building and The Training Haus.
