The 14,000-square-foot facility is something the Wilf family owners have sought since buying the team in 2005. There initially was some consideration of putting the museum at U.S. Bank Stadium, which opened in 2016, but ownership decided the team’s new practice was the better option.
Admission is $20 for adults, $5 for children 14 and under, and free to those under 2. During training camp, which runs through Aug. 16, only those with camp tickets can visit. After that, the museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
“I was very impressed by the scale of it,” said Page, a defensive tackle who played for the Vikings from 1967-78. “This is no small undertaking. The entire museum is tastefully done.”
Page’s momentos, including the 1971 NFL MVP Trophy he donated, are on display alongside cases honoring former stars Fran Tarkenton, Jim Marshall, Mick Tingelhoff, Cris Carter and Korey Stringer, who also wore numbers that have been retired. The exhibit is called “Frozen in Time,” and the cases are made to look like they’re encased in ice.
Nearby are kiosks honoring Vikings hall of famers, with Tarkenton, Page, Tingelhoff and Carter also in that group. They include a handprint of each hall of famer, which when touched activates an information display.
