Vikings Plan Celebration for 52nd & Final Camp in Mankato

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — It’s the ending of an era for the Minnesota Vikings and the beginning of another.

The organization announced Tuesday that it intends to hold Verizon Vikings Training Camp at the team’s new practice facility, Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, in Eagan in 2018 and beyond.

That means this year’s camp will be the 52nd and final hosted by Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Vikings Chief Operating Officer Kevin Warren said the franchise’s move away from Mankato is bittersweet because of the strong relationships the Vikings have enjoyed with the college and community.
