Some details for the Vikings' first training camp at new Eagan facility
You’ll have to act fast to attend Vikings training camp this summer, the team’s first outside of Mankato at the new Eagan facility.
Attendance is expected to be limited to 5,000 per day, but the Vikings say that number is “to be determined.”
For the first time, fans must reserve tickets at Vikings.com starting in June. Admission is free. Season-ticket holders will get the first crack at reserving a ticket.
Last year, about 5,230 fans per day attended training camp practices in Mankato. Attendance for 13 walkthroughs and practices totaled roughly 68,000 fans.
The Vikings are also considering reserved seating and upgraded experiences at a cost. Shuttles, daily autograph sessions and previous staples of Vikings camps will continue.
The team will release the full camp schedule in June.
July 24: Rookies, quarterbacks and rehabbing players can report.
July 27: Veterans report.
July 28: First full-team practice.
Aug. 11: Preseason week 1 at Denver
Aug. 18: Camp ends prior to preseason week 2 vs. Jacksonville

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
TTT,
This was pushed quickly off the front page with the draft - big shift in TC. Glad we had some of the Vikefan get togethers in Fankato while we could....

yep, getting to know everybody at TC was great and sadly it appears that will not be likely with this new format. Although kato was only a short drive from the cities, I think it did limit the number of people that were willing to take time from work to make the journey. this new arrangement and location will make it much much harder for a group to get together and have the time like we did in the past. oh well, maybe we could all just camp out in Mikes back yard, I am sure his wife wouldnt mind.
Aaaaaaand I almost thought this would make my drive from Duluth MORE convenient...
