This was my kids first NFL game, as we watched pre-game warmups, Treadwell tossed the ball into the stands "playing catch" with the Vikes fans there. 

Yesterday my son broke his thumb at football practice. He will pretty much miss the remainder of the season.....he 
has taken it very hard. We both have.

Anway Treadwell saw this kid in a cast and tossed the ball to my son.  Who caught it with one arm wrapped up.
unable to throw a spiral, my shot "shot-put" the ball back to him. We will ALWAYS remember that, so Mr. Treadwell thank you.
My experience with Conrad Dobler when I was a kid was MUCH different. 

Id say HALF the crowd were Vikings fans, but hats off to the Rams fans around us. They cheered, but without gloating. 
In fact a couple of Rams fans first bumped my boy (Wearing a color rush Theilin) on Theilens big plays.

pretty classy fan base

I'm glad to hear you and yours had a good experience,   it can be such a crap shoot these days with most fan bases,  ours included at times.

That is really cool. He is going to remember that forever. Sorry to hear about the injury.

Good to hear. I kept saying to myself, win or lose, this is a helluva fun game to watch. I'm sure it was even better live.

Great story, and now I like Tready a little more because of it.  That's pretty cool.

Yup.  Had they been Raiders fans, it might have been a slightly different experience! ;)

LOL

Not where I was sitting, but I will say this much...

If a Rams fan wanted to pick a fight last night, he better rethink the odds...
On the Vikings side of the field I'd say it was 3/4 purple. I don't know if you could hear us 
on TV, but we did the SKOL chant a few times and the place was rocking!!!

Let me guess.....was there an excessive amount of alcohol involved?
I don't get the whole "beer inspired bravado"....I'm there to watch the game, not get drunk and pick fights.

Oh yeah, you could hear it and see it. Announcers commented on how many Viking fans were there in the stadium several times.

Awesome.  

There was a time in the game our defense started signaling to "our" side of the stands to make noise / get loud......and WE DID....

They didn't care. Alcohol and stupidity don't mix well.

That's great to hear VG, glad you had a good experience despite the loss.
I posted before that I was there too and had a similar good time. Rams fans were mostly very nice and good natured around our group too. Didn't see any fighting or anything. After the game there were a few kooks who had their beer muscles going and were getting a little aggressive with their cheering/heckling but it wasn't too bad. Never felt like someone wanted to fight or anything.
I was bummed out last night by the loss and how bad the defense played but all in all, it was an exciting game. That's all you can ask for.
Last year I went to Lions @ Vikings when Dalvin Cook got hurt so that was MUCH more disheartening. This was just getting beat by a good team. Hopefully next year I can see a win though!
