Stadium Review - The Ultimate Minnesota Vikings Fan Experience In my attempt to better understand what it’s actually like to be a fan of this proud and regal franchise, I was in search of the Ultimate Minnesota Viking Fan Experience. An experience that would take me to a small town located two and a half hours northwest of the twin cities, a place called Crosby, Minnesota. Nestled near the downtown area of this little town, visitors will find the Nordic Inn, a Viking themed bed and breakfast owned an operated by Steinarr the Krazee Viking. For most of the evening, guests are entertained by Steinarr and Lady Amber in Asgard, the main drinking hall which includes an impressive bar, a cozy fireplace, and a host of Viking weaponry and armaments which adorn the walls. At dinner time, we retired to the banquet Steinarr himself is a master craftsman who hand crafts all of the implements and decorum in the Nordic Inn in traditional Viking fashion. He even outfits many of the Viking fans who appear at the HHH Metrodome in realistic looking period clothing and accessories. At the end of night guests retire to one of five themed rooms for a pleasant slumber. If you aspire to be a true Viking warrior or are looking for that unique Viking experience, plan a stay at this Medieval Brew and Bed to accentuate your NFL Gameday Weekend, mention the "Quest for 31" when you make your reservation and you may even get a special deal. Viking fans are incredible tailgaters and they are known for their tailgate vehicles. As one walks along the Purple Lots adjacent to the Metrodome it’s astounding the see the collection of customized purple and gold tailgate cruisers, the best of which is the BattleWagon. Doug, Terry and the boys still maintain the crown for the best modified tailgate cruiser in the National Football League. The BattleWagon is a converted delivery truck with a set of horns on the hood and a great purple and gold paint job, but what sets the BattleWagon Gametime was upon us before we knew it and after emptying my Viking drinking horn several times with a selection of locally brewed refreshments, including some Summit Ale and Grain Belt Beer, I decided it was time to head into the Metrodome. It’s always refreshing to see a fanbase that knows how to use the dome to its advantage, and Viking fans are rather adept at creating a hostile environment for opposing offenses to work in. Typically they lead the league with Seattle Seahawks fans for the most opponent false start penalties, the For our matchup this weekend, the 0-2 Vikings were pitted against a resurgent 0-2 Detroit Lions team. This was a must-win for the purple and gold and they played that way. From the opening kickoff, energy levels within the dome were high and although Detroit drew first blood it wasn’t long before Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson led the charge to beat up on a longtime rival. In the end, with some strong runs by AP including an electrifying 80-yard touchdown, the Vikings prevailed 24-10 in an effort to right the ship as they seek to claim 2010 for the purple and gold.
