They say “home is where the heart is,” and for the Minnesota Vikings, TCF Bank Stadium has been their home for 17 games. From the single 2010 game (Dec. 20) after the Metrodome’s roof collapsed to the full 2014 and 2015 seasons and now heading into the playoffs, the interim home turf has witnessed the heart of 53 players each and every time they took the field.
With help from hearty Vikings fans, Minnesota has gone 11-5 at home games in the past two seasons, posting the best win percentage (.687) of any team in a temporary home and becoming the first to make the playoffs after playing a season in a temporary home.
