The time is
coming fast as Thursday is the day the Vikings players move into Mankato. The
Gage Towers were imploded on Saturday June 29th. The new housing to
the team will be the Julia Sears Residence which opened in 2008.
I am so excited
for the start of camp. I have my oil change done and the tank is full. My car
window flags are flying proudly as I have one on each side of the car. I am
ready to make my journey.
I had
written in an earlier blog about all my experiences with the team. One item I
left out and it is important is I remain on the media emails and updates on the
day to day happenings. When there is an announcement I get the email.
Tuesday I
was informed by way of email that the Vikings organization has comes to an
agreement with Minnesota State University and extended the team coming for 3 more
seasons. This will put the team at 50 straight years to come to Mankato. This
is awesome news knowing I am so close to Mankato and will be able to keep
making my yearly journey.
I have
written over 270 articles and I know I have posted a bunch but if you want to
go to my website and read about anything from last year’s events including
training camp and the season you can find them at Purplestick.blogspot.com
Thanks for
