yes, for real. Met Zygi, Mark, Lester Bagley, and Kevin Warren IIRC. A group of us from the old boards went together and rented one of those big tailgate tents outside of Arrowhead, and then a few of us called or sent emails to Winter Park in care of the Wilfs assistants letting them know where we would be and suggested that it would be pretty cool for the new owners to come meet some of their franchises faithful. about an hour before the game I saw a bunch of cops circled around some other men coming towards our tent, of course I was thinking it must be Burt Reynolds, but nope, it was the Vikings brass. I was pretty cool of them to come hang out, I would guess they were with us for 15 to 20 minutes visiting on the new stadium prospects and other parts of fandom.

Yup, I was there too. Even back then the subject of a new Viking stadium came up. I can't remember if it was Zygi or Bagley, but I told one of them that a billion dollar stadium came out to $200 a person and they could just bill me for it 😏
