The Minnesota @Vikings are the 20th most valuable NFL Franchise according to @Sportico
worth an estimated 6.28 Billion dollars.  An 18% increase over last year.

I remember a few years ago, Minnesota was around the 29th or 30th range, now 20th. Wowzer. Not bad when your multi-billion dollar organization jumps up almost 20% in overall worth.

The Wilfs bought the team in 2005 for $600M. It's now worth $6.3B. That's $5.7B in growth, a 950% increase in value over 20 years. Sure wish I could get that kind of return on my investments!

You can't deny the infrastructure they've built in Eagan + USB has made it comparable to the top franchises in the biggest league.

Its an amazing corporate and stadium environment, Minneapolis/St. Paul is an underrated market, I think its like 17th best TV market in the U.S. The whole state's #1 pro sports team by a mile are the Vikings.

It's not even close. The Vikings run this state with the Wild a ways back.
