  1961 I with my little 7 year old brother crawled under the fence at Minneapolis Parade Stadium to watch the 1st Vikings team practice in a scrimmage game with St. Louis Cards.  Walked around the end of the field to the Cards sideline and sat on an empty bench. St Louis Coach shouted OFFENCE and the entire on-field defense came over and sat around us.  1 guy put his helmet on little brother's head.   Yep absolute true. Lived about a mile away. Was there for 3 hours, mother was not happy.

  I’ve been a Viking Fan since 1976 . Since Fran Tarkenton &amp; the Purple People Eaters. <br>The last time I was this excited for the Vikings was in 1998 . <br>That season , they went 15-1 in the regular season . Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter &amp; Randy Moss . I’m 55 , and I remember the heartbreaks of the NFC Championship Game losses of 1978 , 1987, 1998 , 2000, 2009, 2017 . I think this Vikings Team can win the # 1 seed in the NFC , make it into the Super Bowl &amp; finally win it !! We’ve been waiting a long time , to get back to another Super Bowl . I’ve been waiting a lifetime .

  We may not have all the Super Bowls but we’ve always been a family kind of franchise. The Wilfs are a blessing. Let’s win this one for Vikings Nation. KJ31 rest in power.

  The Vikings had some of the greatest players ever play for them and many wins and playoff appearances. They’re just unlucky. Definitely the best team to never win the big one

  The 98&apos; Vikings are who we thought they were, one of the greatest teams to not win a SB in history

  I always loved watching Bud Grant. He ( At least on the field ), showed little or no emotion and I always characterized him as &quot; Fifty points ahead or fifty points behind, he always looked the same &quot;. He would just chew his gum and watch the game.

  The Minnesota Vikings may be 0-4 in Super Bowls, yet statistically they have to be the winningest professional sports team to not win a championship.<br><br>They never had a true franchise QB since Fran Tarkenton, yet they have been able to remain consistent winners throughout the decades by drafting and signing great players at other positions and by finding decent to great coaches (some of which would even go on to make distinguished names for themselves after being on the team as assistants and coordinators, just look at Tony Dungy and Mike Tomlin).<br><br>If the Vikings can ever find a true, consistent franchise QB again, WATCH OUT!

  I admire the Vikings because they had what we should’ve in the 1970’s. Fran Tarkenton
