Vikadontis Rex!  Vike's Children's Charities mascot.

I hated that stupid dinosaur...But now that you remind me its for childrens charities I take back the vitriol 

I will 2nd that. My 1st thought was. What a stupid and childish looking costume. Since it is for children that's different.

arent all mascots are for the children.... does any adult really get revved up watching a mascot?

You're right. I guess if you wanted revved up you'd go with something like this.

he wasnt really a mascot... more like a fur clad fan turned male cheerleader.  want to talk embarrasing.... some of his antics were embarrasing as hell.... not obese fat white guy with a G painted on his shirtless belly embarrasing... but pretty bad.

 I never knew the Chicken hung out at the MetroDome - here is back in 1982. I think the San Diego Chicken was the best back in the day.

How his tenure ended here with the public negativity was sad to see; I meet him once in my teenage years up in Northern MN and he was an incredibly nice guy.

I don't know what qualifies as a mascot. Only someone dressing up like a comic caricature of the nickname is a mascot and not someone actually dressing the part? Both have a place I quess. Is a live animal a mascot or a team pet? I really don't know what he added to or took out the game day experience. I was just going with the angle. Revved up...motorcycle.  Guess nobody got my joke. That's not a 1st.

Except for Halloween, dress up is dumb...Come to think of it, dress up for Halloween is super dumb too.

Should we go with a "real" Viking? One that "cuts" the players who make mistakes in front of the entire crowd - one that "paints the field Red" - effectively scaring the absolute shit out of our opponents? 

...as soon as they hear the Skol chant from the bus they're like, "NOPE no way in hell i'm going in there."

Oh, I beg to differ...
