A Vikings Travel Story by Bryan B.
My Vikings story starts with an unexpected phone call. I was traveling to my home town of Detroit Lakes (I now live near Nashville) and had informed an old high school friend that I was coming through the Twin Cities and would like to meet to catch up. He called me a couple of days before I was to leave Tennessee and asked if I could stay a couple extra days on my way back to Tennessee after my trip. I told him I probably could not with my work schedule (I’m a fireman, work 24 hour shifts). He then told me why: “I have two tickets. Up against the press box. 40 yard line. Lambeau Field, Vikings vs. Packers.” I then told him, “I’ll figure something out on this end, count me in!”

This turned out to be my first trip to Lambeau. The Vikings lost on one of the Brett Favre comebacks late in the fourth quarter. But to watch the Vikes play the Pack at storied Lambeau, wearing all my Vikings gear, was a trip of a lifetime for this lifelong Vikings fan.

As our company headquarters is in Minnesota, we are offering a Vikings football travel story contest with the Minnesota Vikings football team. Please share your fun Vikings travel story!
