We are at Training Camp
While the campiness and the tradition of Mankato will be missed..... This place is something else. What a first class facility this is. Just amazing.
If you have any questions throughout the next couple of days ask them here and we will try and get an answer.
Looking forward to doing the interviews, publishing reports and seeing all the fans out here.
Is this thing STILL on? | Skol Vikes! |
YEAH! So looking forward to the updates, interviews and everything you guys do. Rock on!
I posted this in another thread as well, but thought I would also post it here.
I was there with my family last Saturday and took a bunch of pictures (over 200), more so of the facility and the museum than the practice itself, since the players were a decent ways away from us, but I did get a few of those as well.
I've been meaning to post them here but there are a lot of them, especially of the new Vikings museum. Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on posting pictures of the museum?
Also, what would be the best way to post a bunch of pictures? Should I just create a shareable link to a google photos album that people can click on?
i think the question everyone wants to know are how cousins looks and how the OL looks....will hill hill hold up, can oneil play this year etc etc
Mike, are these guys going home after practice - or staying at a hotel??

When the new hotel is finished inside the complex, they will stay there. The vets can drive to practice, but many of the rookies don't have cars yet, so they are shuttled back and forth

We will know more from the afternoon practices

We will ask the Viking officials about that plan, and we AGREE with you. Mankato had a cheesy appeal to it, that brought players closer to the fans. The new complex is MUCH more high-tech, but as very picturesque backdrop that screams Minnesota.

If you want to email them to contact@vikefans.com I can probably do a bulk upload and put them in a gallery. Zip them together and that should be fairly easy.

No problem, except the zipped file is 720 MB lol. I will get a shareable link to the file on Google Drive and message it to you Mike.
720 MB?! ...
That's approaching the fine- "burn it to a CD and send it First Class" -line...
They lie, they film everything in front of a green screen and insert players.
Kidding, was great seeing you guys again!
Thanks for the coverage as always! You’re doing a great job and I’ve really enjoyed the analysis.
