The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most snake-bitten franchises of all time. From the four Super Bowl losses, the 1998 Gary Anderson miss and the 2009 Brett Favre interception to the Blair Walsh missed chip shot last year, Vikings fans have endured one of the worst droughts in the history of the NFL. After getting so close so many times, the losses keep stinging worse. Yet, even after one of the franchise’s most iconic losses, the Minnesota Vikings sold out the 2016 season before it began to their loyal fans.
Plus, the Minnesota Vikings and their fans fit together both in ironic and literal fashion. The famously high Scandinavian population in Minnesota is best represented by their ancestor Vikings. At the same time, pillaging and plundering Vikings don’t exactly fit the mold of Minnesota Nice.
