Lifelong Vikings fan Kevin Nyberg was given the opportunity in August to relive a Vikings photography experience he enjoyed 40 years ago as a child.
Nyberg vividly remembers accompanying his father to the Vikings-Packers game at Metropolitan Stadium on Dec. 5, 1976. Already finding a love for photography, he brought his camera along to the game and snapped photos of icons such as Fran Tarkenton and Head Coach Bud Grant.
“I remember it started snowing around halftime,” Nyberg said. “Classic 1970s Vikings football.”
Nyberg continued taking photos throughout his adult life, mainly as a hobby. He enjoyed bringing his camera along to his kids’ basketball and football games and has always loved spending time outdoors capturing wildlife photos.
