MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Millie Wall, the Minnesota Vikings superfan affectionately known as “Grandma Millie,” has died, her family said Thursday. She was 102 years old.
Wall went viral at the age of 99 during the Vikings’ run to the NFC Championship game after the 2017-18 season. That postseason, the Vikings gifted her tickets to their game against the New Orleans Saints, the “Minneapolis Miracle” game in which Case Keenum threw a last-second game-winning touchdown to Stefon Diggs.
When the Vikings lost to the Philadelphia Eagles a week later, Wall said she was still “a huge fan” of the team.
