Training Camp- Come and get the experience of a football lifetime

The month of June is here even though it has not felt like it in Minnesota with rain and cold. The next month on the calendar is July. I know it is a known fact the order of months on a calendar but my point of bringing up July has the focus of Vikings training camp.

I would invite each and every one of you to try out one day and just see how you like it. It is a family atmosphere with a football theme. There is much to do for younger kids set up behind the bleachers.

Practice twice a day with morning and afternoon. I invite you to check out the Vikings website for dates and times.

The morning practice is followed by an autograph session from different groups of players each day. One day might be the linebackers, wide receivers, etc. There will be info coming the closer we get to camp. Once again check the Vikings website for the info.

There is concession stands set up for people to grab a bite to eat or drink or both. There are bathrooms behind Blakeselee Field Stadium.

The one warning I always give people is to make sure you drink plenty before you come in. The late July early August heat can be overwhelming.

The practice itself you can watch from bleachers, but there is no protection from the hot Minnesota sun.

There is plenty of parking but just know there is usually a cost unless you can find something off campus that might be free.

On the campus if you don’t feel like leaving between practices there is such food places as Chipotle, Noodles, and a few more choices. They are right across the street from the stadium.  There is a Kwik Trip down a couple blocks from campus. It is nice to make a day of it and save some gas and just hang out on campus.

 

The one common bond all people attending camp has is the Vikings. I find it easy to talk to people in Mankato regarding the Vikings. It is passion that I cannot describe.

Once again please come and make a day of it. My email is breyerstick@yahoo.com if any questions arise.
