CLUB HISTORY
From the 1961 Minnesota Vikings Radio, TV and Press Guide —Twin Cities football enthusiasts began their quest for professional football some 12 years ago, and it was
on January 28, 1960, that their efforts culminated with the announcement – from Miami, Florida, where the
National Football League owners were in session – that Minnesota was being granted a franchise for 1961.
At the same meeting, Dallas was accepted to start play in 1960.
The franchise was granted just 10 days after E. William Boyer,
president of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, had madean official presentation to the league on behalf of statewide
Minnesota interests.
Besides Boyer in the founding group were the following: Max
Winter, promoter and restauranteur, H.P. Skoglund, presidentof North American Life and Casualty Company; Ole Haugsrud,
Duluth businessman, and the Northwest Publications, Inc.,
publishers of the St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press, throughits president, Bernard H. Ridder, Jr.
They decided to start with an original outlay of $1 million dollars,of which the Minneapolis sources would put up $600,000; St.
Paul $300,000, and Duluth, representing the rest of the state$100,000.
Upon acquiring a franchise, the group hired Joe Thomas,
former scout with the Los Angeles Rams, to scout the country
in preparation for the 1961 draft meeting, and went on anationwide search to find a general manager. This ended withthe selection of Bert E. Rose, who was at the time the public
relations director for the Rams.

52023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDECLUBTHEHISTORYHOW
VIKINGS GOT THEIR NAME
From the 1961 Minnesota Vikings Radio, TV and Press Guide —When Bert Rose was selected as General Manager, one of the first steps he took was
to recommend to the Board of Directors that the club be nicknamed the “Vikings.”
A nickname should serve a dual purpose, he said. First, it should represent an
aggressive person or animal imbued with the will to win. Secondly, if possible, it isdesirable to have it connote the region that the particular team represents.
“Vikings” scores well on both points. Certainly, the Nordic Vikings were a fearlessrace. Following many years of victories in the British Isles and France, under Erik
the Red, they sailed in open boats across the North Atlantic seeking new peoples
to conquer. Their entire history is punctuated with the aggressive desire and will towinWhile Minnesota is populated by the descendants of settlers from many nations,the area has a rich Nordic lore, perhaps due to the mythology of Paul Bunyan andhis Blue Ox, perhaps due to the preponderance of the “sons” and “sens” in thephone book. The Vikings, too, were Nordics; hence the name represents in a largepart the solid stock of people who call Minnesota their home.

The expansion Minnesota Vikings took the field in 1961 with a namethat matched the region they would call home. General Manager Bert
Rose (bottom left) helped come up with the name, and the club wasimmediately embraced by the community.

62023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDENFLPA REPORT

Vikings Rank No. 1
During the 2023 offseason, the NFL Players Association released“free agency report cards” for all 32 teams that revealed results ofa player survey on topics ranging from quality of team facilities andprogramming to treatment of player families.
Minnesota came in first among all 32 teams. The Vikings, headquarted
at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, received A-plus gradesin strength coaches, training room, training staff and locker room.
They tied for first place in all four categories. The Vikings were also
given As for team travel, weight room and treatment of families, andthey received an A-minus in food service/nutrition.
The NFLPA wrote the following:“The Minnesota Vikings are ranked as the best team in our guide.
[One hundred percent] of the players feel like [Owner/Chairman] Zygi
Wilf [and Owner/President Mark Wilf are] willing to spend money toupgrade the facilities, and that assessment makes sense since theVikings have gone through three significant upgrades in recent years.
Their facility was [built in 2018] and is considered state-of-the-art.
This past year, they replaced former [Head Coach] Mike Zimmer with
Kevin O’Connell, who through his first year is regarded as one of themost player-friendly head coaches. […] The Minnesota Vikings are ashining example of what is possible when a concerted investment ismade in both staffing and facilities.”
When asked about the results, Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell
called it a “huge priority” to foster a culture and environment that’s
deemed desirable for not only players but also their families.

8“One of the things that I look back on a year ago, and I think about
is using words like connecting with our players and the collaborationthat goes into what pro football should be at this level,” O’Connell
said. “It goes so much beyond those words, and people kind of chuckle
sometimes as you use some of these cliché-like words; well, they’re notcliché when you go to work every day and try to join with a great groupof people and a great support staff at every level of our organization.
It’s not a cliché when people make that our mission statement, toprovide the premier place to go to work and improve both personallyand collectively as a team in our league means a lot to us.”
“I don’t think you can say all of that without thanking our ownership.
Our beautiful facility and both our training facility and [U.S. Bank
Stadium] – in my opinion, one of the best home atmospheres in our
league – and then it’s the people,” he continued. “We talk a lot about
culture. Culture is people, and it’s something we strive to work on
every single day, and I think our players feel that.”“I’m thankful for our players and their communication with us to help
make that happen,” he said. “I like to think we’re only going up fromhere.”
Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf added, “It’s a capstone to a lot of
investment, but it’s also a testament to the people in our building. We
want to make sure we’re a world-class, first-class operation. But we’re
never going to rest on our laurels. We’re always going to make sure tokeep moving.”

2023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDEGLOBAL MARKETS PROGRAM
Minnesota & Beyond
The Global Markets Program, which launched in January 2022, was previously referred to as the International
Home Marketing Areas program. The program grants NFL clubs access to international markets for marketing,fan engagement and commercialization activations as part of an important, long-term strategic effort to enableclubs to build their brands globally while driving NFL fan growth beyond the United States.
Currently, the Minnesota Vikings have IHMA rights in the United Kingdom and Canada through 2026.
“This is an excellent opportunity to directly engage with Vikings fansacross the world, as well as grow our fan base and cultivate interest in
the game of football,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. “Withthe geographic proximity and our already-established Canadian fans,including hundreds of passionate season ticket members, Canada
is a tremendous fit for us. We have also seen the strength of ourinternational Vikings fans during the team’s previous games in London
and with the launch of our UK Vikings social media channels in 2018, soboth of these markets have natural ties.”

Mariota, who is now with Philadelphia but played for

While he admits he was a little nervous at first,
Cousins said he appreciated the support from Vikings
Ownership, Head Coach Kevin O’Connell, and General
Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as the NFL Films crew
mic’d him up for every game as well as at different partsof the work week.
“I think it was a big help that the Vikings allowed them
to be around. I think it was not the easiest thing to do,to let them into a couple different settings here andthere, so the fact that they let them in says a lot about
the organization’s willingness to help,” Cousins said.

102023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDEMINNESOTA VIKINGS SOCIAL JUSTICE
Inspire Change
Following the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, the Minnesota Vikings and the Wilf family announced a $5 million donation to social
justice causes throughout the United States. Owners Zygi and Mark Wilf met with the team’s social justice committee in June 2020 andagreed that $1 million in contributions from the fund would be determined in collaboration with Vikings players and directed toward localorganizations fighting hate, racism and inequality.
“We continue to be inspired by these players as they advocate for transformational change in this very challenging moment,” said Vikings
Owner/President Mark Wilf. “We are proud of their efforts to use their platform in an effort to end deep-seated social injustices. Theirthoughtful approach and our conversations with them have deeply moved us, certainly in large part because of our family’s history andlong-standing commitment to human rights, but also because of their steadfast dedication to not sit idly by when they have the ability tomake a difference.”
The Vikings endowed the George Floyd Legacy Scholarship with a $125,000 initial establishing gift that generates $5,000 annually to benefit
Black graduating seniors in Minneapolis-St. Paul who are pursuing post-secondary education. The players have continued to invest in thisscholarship year over year. The team also expanded its existing commitments to All Square, a local nonprofit that invests in the minds andlives of formerly incarcerated individuals, and to other organizations such as the Link, Page Education Foundation, Northside Boxing and
more.
The 2020 donations built on the Wilf’s previous $500,000 commitment to the Social Justice Committee over the previous two years, dollars that were directed toward scholarships for low-income students, school supplies, legal aid for disadvantaged and underrepresented
populations and law enforcement relations. “Our organization has shown a commitment to these causes over the last several years, but weknow we need to and can do more,” said Vikings Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf. “We want this investment to support the many diverse andmeaningful social justice efforts throughout our country, but it can only be one piece of our overall work toward having a sustainable impact.
Our actions within our communities will be the driving force for creating profound change.”
Following a series of meetings throughout the 2021 season to determine the continuation of active engagement and commitment to various social justice causes, the Minnesota Vikings Social Justice Committee and the Wilf family announced an additional $1 million in contributions toward the expansion and/or launch of multiple initiatives in the following focus areas: 1) reducing socioeconomic disparities; 2)
expanding the adoption of educational curriculum on racial equality and Black history; and 3) advocating for law enforcement reform andcriminal justice reform. With an additional $500,000 commitment in 2022, social justice donations from the team and the Wilfs now total
over $7 million since 2018.
The Vikings delivered a message of unity and change entering the 2020 season as the team came together in a call for justice. The organization believes in creating meaningful dialogue and being agents for positive, transformational and sustainable change.

Inspiring the Next Generation
In May 2022, the Vikings pledged $75,000 and partnered with Minneapolis Public Schools to launch a new MPS
Girls Flag Football program. The inaugural three-week season featured three teams from middle schools in the
Minneapolis area, with each team receiving custom uniforms and equipment donated by Nike and the Vikings.
With the launch of the program, the Vikings joined several NFL teams that had established girls flag footballleagues in their local areas. The original financial contribution was dedicated to travel, coaching stipends, fieldspace and equipment and was intended to ensure the long-term success and expansion of the program. In 2023,
that expansion began, as the program added four districts (St. Paul, Anoka-Hennepin, Rochester, Hopkins) andhad 150 girls participate across the five total districts. At the conclusion of the season, the Vikings hosted a yearend tournament open to all districts, in which eight teams competed at TCO Stadium.
As longstanding partners with the Minnesota State High School League, the Vikings are committed to creating
enriching and inclusive athletic opportunities across the state. The future expansion of girls high school flag
football to a varsity sport in Minnesota is the ultimate goal that aligns with that commitment. Currently, just six
states (Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and New York) sanction girls flag football as a high school sport.

2023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDEU.S. BANK STADIUM SETS THE STANDARD

Following more than a dozen years of discussion at thestate capitol and four years of design and construction, the Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities
Authority officially opened U.S. Bank Stadium on July22, 2016, marking the completion of the largest construction project in state history and the celebrationof a true public-private partnership that has helped
reshape the East Town neighborhood in Minneapolis.
The stadium, from design to completion, was builtwith three key principles in mind: developing an unprecendented design, establishing a true public-private
partnership and guaranteeing a best-in-class fan experience.
Unprecedented Design - Featuring the first ethylenetetrafluoro-ethylene (ETFE) roof on a sports facility in
the United States and the world’s largest pivoting glass
doors, U.S. Bank Stadium exemplifies an unprecedented
design. The 60% transparent roof combined with nearly
200,000 square feet of glass throughout the building
provides a true indoor-outdoor experience, giving fansthe best of both worlds. The use of ETFE is now being
replicated around the country (Atlanta, Los Angeles,
Las Vegas), changing the game for sports facilities in
the United States. With its slanted roof to shed snow,
the authentic design also responds to the climate like atrue Nordic structure.

20

Public-Private Partnership – U.S. Bank Stadium serves
as a prime example of a public-private partnershipthat has helped reshape a community. The team/private contribution of $609 million, a $132 million
increase from the original $477 million commitment,
covered 55% of the total $1.1 billion cost of the publiclyowned, multi-use stadium. More than 300 Minnesota
businesses contributed to the design and constructionof the stadium with approximately 90% of theconstruction dollars going back to Minnesotans. The
stadium has spurred more than $1 billion in surrounding
development in Minneapolis’ East Town neighborhood,and nearly 1,000 non-Vikings events and community
programs were held within the first two years.
Best-in-Class Fan Experience – The Vikings consistentfocus has been on creating an unforgettable stadium
experience for all fans. U.S. Bank Stadium boasts someof the closest seats and suites in the NFL amid a variety
of seating options, including six clubs, four group cabins
and two membership bars. Two of the NFL’s highestquality and best-positioned LED video boards flank theend zones, and the stadium has 2,000 televisions. A
robust art collection, an interactive Vikings Voyage fan
space and 1,300 Wi-Fi access points are just a few ofthe overall fan amenities. The stadium was also thefirst to open with LED sports lighting, allowing for color
temperature adjustment and providing natural andmore uniform light.

The Eagan City Council unanimously approved the Minnesota Vikings plan to move the team
headquarters and training facility to a 200-acre site located off I-494 at the intersection of
Dodd Road and Vikings Parkway.
The Vikings, along with partners Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO), the City of Eagan, Crawford
Architects and Kraus-Anderson Construction Company, broke ground on the Twin Cities 		
Orthopedics Performance Center and TCO Stadium.
The team’s future home began to take shape above ground as the first steel was installed at
the TCO Performance Center.
With just over a year before the anticipated move-in date, the team’s new headquarters 		began to form as walls were installed.
Construction crews hoisted the final piece of steel into position. More than 3,500 tons of 		steel were used in the project, including 2,200 tons for the indoor practice facility alone.
Just weeks after U.S. Bank Stadium and the Twin Cities hosted Super Bowl LII, the Vikings
officially opened the doors to their new practice facility and headquarters, the Twin Cities 		
Orthopedics Performance Center. The team held a family night event to show off its new 		home later that week.
The most highly sought after free agent in the 2018 market, QB Kirk Cousins, signed with theVikings and was introduced at a press conference in TCO Performance Center.
The Vikings conducted the first draft from TCO Performance Center over three days in April.
The club selected UCF defensive back Mike Hughes with its first-round pick, No. 30 overall.
The Vikings welcomed business partners, state and local leaders and NFL Commissioner 		Roger Goodell for a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at TCO Performance Center.
For the first time in the history of the Vikings franchise, the club held training camp at its 		
facility rather than conducting camp on a college campus. The team called Bemidji State 		home from 1961-65 and Minnesota State, Mankato, hosted the team from 1966-2017.
TCO Stadium was built with the intention of being a focal point of the TCO Performance 		
Center complex and as a community resource with high school football as one of the 		
key elements to that cause. Five high school football games were hosted at TCO Performance
Center during its inaugural year, including a trio of state quarterfinal playoff games.

On Thursday, Jan. 27, the Vikings introduced Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as the team’s new generalmanager and on Thursday, Feb. 17, the club introduced Kevin O’Connell as the Vikings 		
10th head coach in franchise history.

the club in 2005. During that time, Wilf and his brother Mark,
have focused on creating a world-class organization thatconsistently competes for championships, provides the best fan
experience in the NFL, has a positive impact on the communityand grows the game of football.
Since taking ownership of the club, the Wilfs have invested
heavily in building a culture that gives players and staff the best
environment to succeed and emphasizes each individual's value.
During the 2023 offseason, ownership's efforts received aresounding stamp of approval when the NFL Players Association
released the results of its first version of "free agency reportcards" for all 32 teams and the Vikings finished ranked number
one. The player survey focused on topics ranging from thequality of team facilities and programming to the treatment ofplayers families, and the Vikings received four A-plus grades,
three As and one A-minus in the eight categories. The reportsaid, "The Minnesota Vikings are a shining example of what is
possible when a concerted investment is made in both staffing
and facilities."

Philanthropy has long been a key point of emphasis for the
Wilfs, which was most recently evident throughout the COVID-19
pandemic. The Wilf Family Foundations and the Vikings gaveover $5 million in donations and commitments to support healthcare workers, the elderly, food banks social service organizations
and Jewish causes in Minnesota, New York, New Jersey andIsrael. Zygi and Mark have also been actively engaged with theteam’s player-led Social Justice Committee. Since 2018, the Wilf
family and the Vikings have donated more than $7 million tosocial justice causes throughout the United States, including $5
million in June 2020. Their continued work with players focuseson three areas: 1) reducing socioeconomic disparities; 2)
expanding educational curriculum on racism and Black history;
and 3) advocating for law enforcement and criminal justicereform.

Two of the biggest organizational achievements – opening U.S.
Bank Stadium in 2016 and hosting Super Bowl LII in 2018 – havecome under the Wilfs’ leadership. As the largest construction
project in state history, the new stadium employed nearly 8,000
construction workers and has had a significant economic impact
on the region. Wilf served as Honorary Co-Chair of the Minnesota
Super Bowl Bid Committee and was successful in bringing Super
Bowl LII to Minnesota in 2018. The facility is capable of hosting
hundreds of community, national, and international events eachyear.

Throughout their heavy involvement in business and civic
endeavors, the Wilfs have been particularly dedicated tochildren’s health issues. In 2015, Zygi and Mark donated $5
million to the University of Minnesota to create the Wilf Family
Center. Designed to be the intellectual center of children’s healthcare in the Midwest, the center has an impact extending far
beyond the region’s borders. In 2017, under the Wilfs’ leadership,
the Vikings launched the new Vikings Foundation with themission of advancing the well-being of youth through engaging
health and education initiatives. In 2019, the Foundation
unveiled Vikings Table, a food truck that provides free meals tounderserved children in Minneapolis-St. Paul and surrounding
communities. In its first six months of operation, Vikings Table
served more than 4,500 meals and to date has provided over
27,000 meals to families in need.

Wilf and his brother Mark also led the development of theVikings new headquarters, Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance
Center, which opened in March 2018 in Eagan, Minnesota. As the
day-to-day and training camp home of the team, TCO
Performance Center serves as the centerpiece of Viking Lakes, a
200-acre, mixed-use development that will ultimately
encompass three million square feet of corporate office, medical,
retail, entertainment and multi-family housing. Over the past
two years, the growing campus has added four esports teams,
the national headquarters of USA Curling, the northern office of
the United States Tennis Association, the Omni Viking Lakes
Hotel and the Viking Lakes Residences to go alongside the

The journey for Wilf from avid New York Giants fan sitting in thebleachers of Yankee Stadium in the 1960s to taking over theleadership of one of the NFL’s proudest franchises has beenmarked by bold and well-founded business decisions,commitment to family and employees, and appreciation for NFL
history. Wilf was recognized in 2013 with the Fritz Pollard
Alliance’s Tank Younger Award in honor of his commitment tohiring and promoting minority candidates on the football andbusiness side of the Vikings franchise. In spring 2019 the Wilf
Family Foundations made a $1 million donation to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame to help the development of a Founders

on the community and the state. The multi-use U.S. Bank
Stadium opened in July 2016 and is considered to be in the upperechelon of stadiums throughout the world, having won several
awards for its construction and design, operations, andsustainability initiatives. The stadium also provides one of thebest fan experiences in all of sports and entertainment. As thelargest construction project in state history, U.S. Bank Stadium
created thousands of jobs with tremendous economic impact on
the region and helped spur more than $1 billion in surrounding
development in the east side of downtown Minneapolis. The

Quarterback Kirk Cousins orchestrated eight fourth quarter
comebacks this season, tied with Matthew Stafford (2016) for
the NFL record. He also recorded eight game-winning drives on
the season, which led the NFL. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson set
the Vikings new single-season record for receiving yards (1,809)
and receptions (128), passing Hall of Fame WRs Cris Carter (122in 1994 and 1995) and Randy Moss (1,632 in 2003). In a midseason trade with the Detroit Lions, Nov. 1, 2022, the Vikings
acquired tight end T.J. Hockenson, who set the NFL record formost receptions (25) in a player's first four games with a newteam. According to Pro Football Focus, center Garrett Bradbury
improved from a 60.2 grade in 2021 to a 70.2 grade this season,
including a career-high 68.1 pass block grade, and tackle
Christian Darrisaw (90.3) had the second-highest grade of any
tackle in the NFL this season, trailing only Trent Williams.
The Vikings had two players combine for 10 interceptions in 2022
- cornerback Patrick Peterson (five) and safety Harrison Smith(five) - marking the most by two Vikings teammates in a season
since Antoine Winfield (four) and Darren Sharper (nine)
combined for 13 in 2005. Both Peterson and Smith's fiveinterceptions were tied for the fifth-most in 2022. Peterson andSmith each have tallied 34 interceptions in their careers, thesecond-most among active players in the NFL. Peterson was tied
for sixth in the NFL in passes defensed (15) and ranked fourth in
the NFL in PFF coverage grade despite having the second-mostcoverage snaps this season.
O’Connell was named the 10th head coach in franchise history
Feb. 16, 2022, after serving as the offensive coordinator for theLos Angeles Rams.
In 2021, he led the Rams to finish ninth in total offense (372.1
yards per game), helped his unit rank second in plays of 50-plus

55

yards (10), fourth in yards per play (5.98) and eighth in offensive
touchdowns (51). Under the guidance of O’Connell, Rams QB
Matthew Stafford and WR Cooper Kupp both had career years in
2021. Stafford set the single-season team record for passing
yards (4,886) and tied Kurt Warner from his 1999 MVP season forthe most passing touchdowns in a season by a Rams
quarterback with 41, while also winning his first playoff game inhis 13th season in the NFL. Kupp, who was named 2021 NFL
Offensive Player of the Year by The Associated Press and Super
Bowl LVI MVP, had one of the best receiving seasons in NFL
history, leading the NFL in receptions (145), receiving yards(1,947) and receiving touchdowns (16), earning AP First-Team AllPro and Pro Bowl honors.
During the 2021 season, O’Connell’s lone season with Stafford,
the signal caller threw for the third-most passing yards (4,886)
and second-most touchdowns (41) in the NFL, all while achieving
his career-best 102.9 passer rating (in seasons with more thaneight starts), the sixth-best in the NFL. Kupp’s wide receiver
Triple Crown in 2021, which he won after leading the NFL inreceptions (145), receiving yards (1,947) and touchdowns (16),joined him with WR Jerry Rice (San Francisco 49ers, 1990), WR
Sterling Sharpe (Green Bay Packers, 1992) and WR Steve Smith(Carolina Panthers, 2005) as the only players since the 1970
merger to achieve this feat. Kupp’s 145 receptions and 1,947
receiving yards both ranked as the second-highest single-season
totals in NFL history, trailing only Michael Thomas’s 149
receptions in 2019 and Calvin Johnson’s 1,964 receiving yards in
2012.
O’Connell was instrumental in aiding mid-season free agent
signee WR Odell Beckham, Jr., to five receiving touchdowns ineight games played with the team, the most since his 2018season with the New York Giants. O’Connell also helped theRams offense tie for seventh in scoring offense (27.1 points pergame) and score on 45.9% of their offensive drives, which ranked
third in the NFL behind the Kansas City Chiefs (48.2) and New
England Patriots (48.0).
The 2020 Rams offense featured the 10th-ranked rushingattack, posting 126.1 yards per game on the ground, behind two
600-plus rushing seasons from running backs Cam Akers andDarrell Henderson. Anchored by T Andrew Whitworth, the oldest
offensive lineman in the NFL, the Rams offensive line only
allowed 56 sacks in the two years O’Connell was in Los Angeles,
which was good for the seventh-fewest among NFL clubs. The
offensive line’s sack rate, 4.5%, was the fifth-lowest in the NFLover the past two years. In addition to helping QB Jared Goff to
his fourth consecutive season with at least 3,800 passing yards
and 20 touchdowns in 2020, O’Connell prepared QB John Wolford
for a win-and-in game against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17,
helping him pass for 231 yards and rush for 56 more in his NFL
debut, while leading the Rams to a 18-7 victory and a playoff

Under O’Connell, Rams quarterbacks threw for 1,517 passing
yards (third in NFL), 11 touchdowns (fourth in NFL) and a 106.4
passer rating in playoff games (second in NFL). He coached
Stafford to a Super Bowl win, helping him post a 4-0 record in
the postseason and 108.3 passer rating, which trailed only QBs
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Furthermore, the Rams’ 1,186
passing yards in the 2021 playoffs were the most in NFL history,
surpassing the 2011 New York Giants (1,144). O’Connell helped
Kupp (478) and Beckham, Jr., (288) post a combined 766

become the 11th quarterback in NFL history to accomplish thisfeat. During the 2018 season, O’Connell was tasked with getting
three different quarterbacks (Josh Johnson, Colt McCoy and MarkSanchez) up to speed following a devastating injury to starting
QB Alex Smith.
In 2019, O’Connell helped guide rookie WR Terry McLaurin to 58
receptions, 919 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, thesecond-most receptions and third-most receiving yards andtouchdowns among rookies in franchise history. O’Connell
oversaw the production of three quarterbacks in 2019,
specifically rookie QB Dwayne Haskins, Jr. Once Haskins, Jr.,
became the full-time starter in Week 9, he passed for 1,225
yards, seven touchdowns, three interceptions and an 85.5 passer
rating. O’Connell also helped Vikings all-time leading rusher

Adrian Peterson eclipse 1,000 scrimmage yards (1,040) at theage of 34.

Brandon Scherff and Kupp), one All-Pro (Kupp) and one PFWA
All-Rookie Team member (McLaurin).
O’Connell worked on special projects with the San Francisco
49ers in 2016, where he overlapped with Vikings General
Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Prior to his one year in San
Francisco, O’Connell was the quarterbacks coach in Cleveland
during the 2015 season, assisting QB Josh McCown to becoming
the only player in team history to throw for 300 or more passing
yards in three consecutive games. McCown also broke the singlegame passing record in 2015, throwing for 457 yards against theBaltimore Ravens.
As a player, O’Connell was drafted in the third round (94th pick)of the 2008 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots out of San
Diego State. He played one season for the Patriots behind QB
Matt Cassel following a season-ending injury to QB Tom Brady.
During the 2009 preseason, O’Connell was claimed by the Detroit
Lions and was then later traded to the New York Jets for aseventh-round pick. Before his NFL career ended in 2012,

The game was broadcast on NBC with Curt Gowdy, Al DeRogatis and Don Meredith on the call for an

1976 - Super Bowl XI vs. Oakland at Rose Bowl, Pasadena
The Vikings celebrated America’s Bicentennial with the 3rd Super Bowl appearance in 4 seasons, advancing
to Super Bowl XI against Oakland, playing the 1st Super Bowl at the venerable Rose Bowl. The ‘76 NFC title
made the Vikings the 1st team to play in 4 Super Bowls and the berth was the 4th in 8 seasons for the club.
The Vikings 24-13 NFC title game win included one of the most memorable plays in team history when
Bobby Bryant returned a blocked Rams FG 90 yards to open the scoring. The Rams cut the lead to 17-13
before a Sammy Johnson TD run put the game away in the 4th quarter of what would be the last home NFC
Championship game for the Vikings until the 1998 season.
The offense gained a pair of valuable playmakers that set the tone for the season by trading for Ahmad
Rashad and drafting Sammy White, who went on to be the NFL’s Rookie of the Year.
The crowd of 103,438 remains the biggest audience the Vikings have played in front of and was the 1st Super
Bowl crowd over 100,000, a mark that still stands 3rd in the history of the game, all 3 crowds coming at theRose Bowl. An estimated TV audience of 44.4 million heard Curt Gowdy and Don Meredith relay the action
on NBC. A Disney production entertained at halftime with a program called It’s a Small World, including a
stadium-wide card stunt.

2023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDEHOMES OF THE VIKINGS

The Vikings played their home games for 21 seasons (1961-81) at Metropolitan Stadium and for 32 seasons (1982-2013) at Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey
Metrodome. The Vikings then moved outdoors to the campus of the University of Minnesota for 2 seasons (2014-15) while U.S. Bank Stadium was being constructed. Ground breaking for the new facility took place in December 2013 and the Vikings played the 1st game there in the 2016 preseason opener on August 28 vs. San Diego. U.S. Bank Stadium hosted
Super Bowl LII and the 2019 NCAA Men’s Final Four.

The Vikings have called four stadiums “home” in their 62-season history: Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in
Minneapolis, TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota and U.S. Bank Stadium, located on the same site as the Metrodme in Minneapolis. On Sept. 10, 1961,
the Vikings played their first-ever home game, a 21-17 preseason loss to the L.A. Rams at Metropolitan Stadium. Over 21 seasons the Vikings compiled a 97-59-4 record, including
playoffs, at Met Stadium and possessed one of the most dominant home field advantages in professional football. On Dec. 20, 1981, the Vikings played the last game at
the Met, a 10-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Capacity of the Met was 48,446 in the stadium’s final year. The Vikings played their last season in the Metrodome in 2013
after the passage of a new stadium bill. The new Vikings stadium, U.S. Bank Stadium, was built on the Metrodome site with the Vikings playing their home games on
the University of Minnesota’s campus at TCF Bank Stadium from 2014-15.
The Vikings moved indoors in 1982 to the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. Seating capacity for the Metrodome was 64,134. In 32 seasons at the Metrodome theVikings owned a 168-92 record, which includes a 6-4 mark in NFL playoff action. The 2013 season marked 32nd campaign in the Metrodome, 11 seasons longer than theVikings played at Metropolitan Stadium. The Metrodome had been host to many marquee sporting events, including Super Bowl XXVI, the 1987 and 1991 World Series,
the 1985 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, the 1992 and 2001 NCAA Final Four basketball tournaments and the 1998 NFC Championship Game. The Metrodome also
hosted NCAA Men’s Basketball Regionals in 2000, 2003 and 2005.
During their two-year stay at TCF Bank Stadium, which has a capacity of 54,000, the Vikings had an 11-5 regular season record, giving them the highest win percentage
all-time among teams in a temporary stadium and became the only team to secure a playoff berth while playing in a temporary stadium. The final game played at TCF
Bank Stadium, a Wild Card Playoff game vs. Seattle (1/10/16) was the coldest game in Vikings history and the 3rd-coldest game in NFL history with a kickoff temperatureof minus-6 Fahrenheit.
U.S. Bank Stadium hosted the first regular season game on Sept. 18, 2016 in prime time matchup vs. Green Bay, a 17-14 Vikings win. Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph scoredthe 1st TD for the club in their new home on a pass from Sam Bradford against the Packers. The 1st playoff game in the stadium was one for the ages, a 29-24 win over
New Orleans in the Divisional Round with the winning TD coming on a 61-yard pass to Stefon Diggs on the final play of the game. The Packers game on 12/23/19 drew a
record home crowd of 67,157.

VIKINGS TRAINING CAMP TRADITION
Training Camp at TCO Performance Center
Since 2018, the Minnesota Vikings have held their summer training camp at Twin Cities
Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan, Minn. Prior to that, the Vikings spent 52
years on the campus of Minnesota State Mankato after hosting camp at Bemidji State
from 1961-65.

The state-of-the art TCO Performance Center features four grass outdoor fields, an indoor field and an artificial
surface field at TCO Stadium. The new facility and camp can accommodate 5,000 fans daily. The 2023 campmarked the beginning of the team’s 63rd season.

radio morning personality Paul Allen. Joining Allen as the color commentator isformer Vikings LB and coach Pete Bercich.
Allen’s run started when he became the Vikings Internet webcast play-by-playvoice during the 2000 season, and called one Vikings game during the 2001
season. Since that game, he has become the “Voice of the Vikings.”
Bercich returns for his 18th season with the broadcast in 2023 and brings a decade of NFL experience from thefield and sideline. A seventh-round draft pick by the Vikings in 1994, Bercich overcame the odds and played
for the team from 1995-2000. A standout special teamer, Bercich parlayed his knowledge of the game into acoaching job with the team from 2002-05.
Entering his eighth season as part of the Vikings Radio Network broadcast, former Vikings LB Ben Leber reports
from the sideline and joins the head coach and players in the postgame segment. Leber played for the Vikingsfrom 2006-10 and has been a regular contributor to KFAN and VEN.

VIKINGS ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK
Keeping Fans in the Game
Vikings Entertainment Network (VEN) is the umbrella for all Vikings content and entertainment initiatives,
including preseason TV, team TV shows, Vikings.com, social media, in-stadium programming as well as the
Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders (MVC), Skol Line Drum Team and Viktor the Viking.
The VEN move into Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center and the TCO Studios enabled the Vikings toconnect with fans like never before, including through a live studio show.
The prime space inside TCO Performance Center provides various settings for different types of content, an
expansion of the already robust lineup of offerings from VEN and new content.
“Vikings fans have consistently engaged with the inside access that VEN strives to provide, and we have a
responsibility to continue to meet or exceed their programming demands,” said Vikings Vice President ofContent and Production Bryan Harper. “TCO Studios has provided tremendous opportunities to deliver on thosedemands with meaningful content for our fans.”
The TCO Studios 1,750-square-foot main studio space features four scenic arrangements.
1. The main desk is positioned in front of a 3X3 video wall for traditional broadcasts.
2. An informal area for more relaxed content is positioned in front of a 2X2 video wall.
3. A social/interactive area features an 86-inch touchscreen.
4. A stand-up area features three vertical screens that can be combined.
TCO Studios’ main space can connect with the auditorium that is used by the Vikings for team meetings byraising an operable acoustic wall. This versatility creates an incredible set-up for the live show and allows TCO
Studios to operate as a stage for other special events.

2023 MINNESOTA VIKINGS MEDIA GUIDEGJALLARHORN SOUNDERSTHE VIKINGS GJALLARHORN TRADITION -In Norse myth, the god Heimdallr serves as watchman for the other gods. He sits by the bridge over the river Gjoll at the end of the world. If hostile giants approach the bridge, Heimdallr
sounds his horn. At the final battle in Norse mythology, the Ragnarok, Heimdallr will sound a mighty blast on the Gjallarhorn to awaken the other gods. It is from this the Minnesota Vikings
have found use of the Gjallarhorn prior to their battles on the football field.
