I am a
Vikings fan who is counting down the days to the draft and although I do not
know an exact date for training camp I know the end of July early August is
when it usually begins. It is on that basis I am counting down for camp as
well.
It will be
my 20th year making the trip to Mankato. The memories each year as
well as the people I meet each year are just a part of the experience.
The Vikings
organization already has me pumped with the signing of Greg Jennings and Matt
Cassel. I envision this year’s border battle with the Packers as just that much
better. The signing of a veteran quarterback I support 100 percent and look forward
to Ponder and Cassel. The resigning of the team’s keys free agents is good news
as well.
The draft
party will be Thursday April 25th at Mall of America Field. I hope
you can join me along with thousands of purple crazed fans.
The recent announcement
made by the organization about Saturday April 27th called Vikings
day I look forward to being part of this as a fan.
The next announcement
made on Thursday March 28th was the Vikings will be unveiling their
new jersey at the draft party at Mall of America Field on Thursday April 25th.
It will be a
historic season with this being the last time the Vikings will play at MOA
field. There are memories to be made as each game played inches closer to
playing in TCF Bank Stadium followed by the brand new stadium due to open in
2016.
I never want
to rush life away but would be lying if I did not admit I cannot wait to April
25th and the NFL draft.
Thanks for
reading
