Many talk about the 1st reg season game in Viking history vs the Bears in 1961. But, the actual 1st time the purple took an NFL field was on Aug 5, 1961 in Sioux Falls vs the 2nd year Cowboys. The Vikes would lose 38-13 in front of 4,954 fans. This is a rare ticket from that game pic.twitter.com/Eyp1TBSg7S
