3 Blair WalshKicker

In his third season in the NFL, K Blair Walsh is once again show-ing the strong leg that helped him earn Pro Bowl honors in 2012. Walsh has connected on 16-of-19 field goals in 2014, including a game-tying field goal at Tampa Bay that sent the game to overtime.

Walsh has connected on two field goals from 55+ yards this season, more than any other NFL kicker. His 16 field goals are tied for 5th in the NFC. Walsh’s strong leg has helped him kick 75 percent of his kickoffs for touchbacks, tied for fourth-highest average in the NFL.

29 Xavier RhodesCornerback

Second-year CB Xavier Rhodes has made strides after a rookie season that saw him break the Vikings franchise record for most passes defensed by a rookie (23). He’s part of an im-proved secondary that allows the fourth-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL, 72.1 yards fewer per game than at this point last season. Rhodes, along with seven other players,

HEAD COACH MIKE ZIMMER

NFL Head Coach: 1st YearOverall NFL Experience: 21st YearCoaching Experience: 36th YearOverall NFL Record: 4-5 (.444)Regular Season: 4-5 (.444)Postseason: 0-0Record with MIN: 4-5 (.444 )

Mike Zimmer was hired as the 9th Head Coach in Vikings history on January 15, 2014. A veteran defensive coordinator, Zimmer enters his 21st season on an NFL sideline, the past 14 working as defensive coordinator for Cincinnati (2008-13), Atlanta (2007) and Dallas (2000-06).

Zimmer has been a part of 11 playoff teams in his NFL tenure and teams that have won 7 Division titles. He coached the Cowboys DBs when the team won Super Bowl XXX over Pittsburgh after the 1995 season. Since 2009, Zimmer’s Bengals defenses ranked in the NFL’s top 10 in total defense 4 times, climbing to #3 in 2013. Since 2011, the Bengals ranked #2 in the NFL with 139 sacks (46.3 per season) and have allowed 18.8 points per game, ranking #4 in the NFL in points allowed. The 2013 Bengals posted 20 INTs, the 5th-best mark in the NFL.

Zimmer’s arrival in Cincinnati for the 2008 season signaled a franchise turn-around on the defensive side of the ball. The Bengals notched top-10 defensive rankings in 2009, ’11, ’12 and ’13 after only cracking the NFL’s top 10 once in 18 seasons prior to Zimmer joining the team. During his tenure, Zimmer coached Geno Atkins as he became one of the top DTs in the NFL, earning consensus All-Pro honors in 2012 and Pro Bowl berths in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, LB Von-taze Burfict continued his rise from an undrafted rookie free agent in 2012 to a Pro Bowler in 2013. Atkins became the 1st Bengals defensive lineman since Tim Krumrie in 1988 to earn a Pro Bowl trip and Burfict was the 1st Bengals LB to be honored since Jim LeClair in 1976. Over the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the Bengals had 4 different players earn AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors- Michael Johnson, Carlos Dunlap, Atkins and Burfict.

Zimmer led top-10 defenses for Dallas in both a 4-3 and 3-4 scheme. The 2003 Cowboys defense ranked #1 in the NFL with only 253.3 yards per game al-lowed. During Zimmer’s tenure in Dallas as DBs coach (1994-99) and Defensive Coordinator (2000-06) the team ranked in the top 5 of NFL scoring defense a total of 6 times. The 1995 Cowboys hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XXX with a win over Pittsburgh and one of Zimmer’s pupils, CB Larry Brown, won the Super Bowl MVP award with a pair of INTs in the game. Brown is 1 of only 3 DBs to earn Super Bowl MVP honors in the history of the game.

Before moving to the NFL ranks, Zimmer spent 15 seasons coaching at the collegiate level. He spent his final 5 seasons in the college ranks as defensive coordinator at Washington State from 1989-93. Zimmer was at Weber State from 1981-88, serving as defensive coordinator from ’83-88. He entered the

coaching profession at Missouri where he served as an assistant from 1979-80. Zimmer played QB and later LB at Illinois State, earning a degree in physical

education. He has 3 children, son Adam and daughters Corri and Marki. Adam is coaching the Vikings LBs after having spent time with Kansas City, New Or-leans and Cincinnati as an assistant LBs and DBs coach. The father-son duo has both earned Super Bowl titles with Adam’s coming following the 2009 season when the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV over Indianapolis. Coaching is a fam-ily tradition with the Zimmers as Mike’s father, Bill, earned Illinois Hall of Fame honors as a prep football and wrestling coach. Zimmer played football, base-ball and wrestled at Lockport Township High School in suburban Chicago. Both Bill and Mike Zimmer have been inducted into the Lockport Hall of Fame and Bill is also in the Bradley University (Peoria, IL) Hall of Fame.

Vikki Zimmer, Mike’s wife of 27 years, passed away in Cincinnati on October 8, 2009. The Pro Football Writers of America recognized Zimmer overcoming the tragedy and the Bengals #4 ranked defense playing a key role in winning then AFC North title by voting him the winner of the Halas Award for the sea-son, an annual award presented to the individual in the NFL that overcame the most adversity to succeed.

FROM HEAD COACH MIKE ZIMMERNOVEMBER 10, 2014Vikings Head Coach Mike ZimmerWe started preliminary preparations today for Chicago, it’s a great rivalry between the Bears and the Vikings, a lot of history and a lot of tradition. It’ll be fun to get out in the weather again and play. Today, obviously, was a little too rough for us to go out. We’re working on getting a heated field, but it’s still on the boat coming over from Europe, they didn’t expect the snow quite this soon, but we will get it. Regarding Adrian (Peterson), we’ve put out a press release. We support him, but the whole thing is out of our hands, so I respect the questions that I’m sure you’re going to ask, but I’m going to stick to that statement.

Q: Are you worried about the Adrian Peterson situation becoming a distraction?A: More than distractions that we’ve had this season? No. This team has been pretty resilient, pretty focused on everything that we’ve done to this point. We’re going to continue to prepare, just like we always have. We’re going to continue to work. When it comes time to make those decisions, then we will make those.

Q: Has the NFL given you a timetable on their decision?A: No.

Q: Will you prepare as if Adrian Peterson is not going to be there until you hear otherwise?A: Correct, we just prepare like he’s not going to be here, until we hear differently.

Q: Once the NFL comes to their decision, do you expect Peterson to rejoin the team immediately?A: I’m not going to deal with the hypotheticals of what the NFL says, or the League says, it’s regarding the regulations and when those decisions are made, then we can make decisions. Until then, really our hands are tied, there’s really nothing we can do about it, other than what I’ve said all along, we love the kid, he’s done everything I’ve asked him to do and we support him and we want him to get through this for him, then we will worry about all of the other things we have to deal with at that point in time.

Q: How did you spend your bye week, did you watch film in front of a fire?A: I did do that, I watched my iPad in front of the wood-burning stove in my barn, quite a bit of it, yeah. Did a little hunting and just got away a little bit.

Q: What did you see from the guys in today’s practice, was there an issue with memory for them?A: It’s actually what I told the team this morning when I met with them was, I was curious to find out how they were mentally with their techniques, their footwork, their hand placements, the splits, everything that they did, and actually I was impressed today and I don’t get impressed much.

Q: Some teams have trouble out of the bye, some are really good, what’s the difference?A: Sometimes it’s who you play. Sometimes it’s the quarterback. I know it’s a stat that a lot of people like to use coming out of byes, this and that. Usually, the good football teams win more than the others, would be my guess.

Q: What did you see in watching the Chicago game last night?A: I thought Green Bay looked really good. They’re a good football team. I watched it like a fan last night, last night I was actually watching the game and watching some of their things on the iPad last night at home.

Q: Did you do much of a self-scout during the bye week?A: We did, we did quite a bit in areas we need to improve on, different techniques. It’s more about refinement now, I think during this time of the season, making sure that in some cases, I felt like we gave a little bit too much leeway in splits and alignments and things that we’re doing and we need to be a little bit more precise. I think that’s some of it, it’s also evaluating on both sides of the ball what we’re doing on 3rd downs, what we’re doing in the blitz game on both sides of the ball. The running game on both sides of the ball, we did a pretty in-depth study.

Q: When you’re playing a team coming off a big loss is there a concern that they may change things drastically, making for a more difficult scout?A: They’ve had nine games of pretty much what they do. I’m sure they’ll change some, they’ll look at some of the things they did and change. They’ve been working pretty hard from training camp going forward. I’m sure they’ll be angry when they come out. No one likes to get thumped, just like we’ve been thumped a few times, too. That’s what the in-game adjustments are for, when you get things you start talking about those situations that come up.

Q: Can you elaborate on the heated field? A: We’ve got like a bubble that’s going out that’s going to heat the field, keep it from freezing, so we can get out there and practice in the weather. We’ll have heaters like 40 yards of heat vents for the players when they are on the sideline but the field will be heated so it’s not frozen. The Wilfs had purchased that and we just didn’t expect it to be this bad this soon.

Q: Is that something you asked for? A: I did not ask for it but we talked about it. If we were going to get outside this is the way we had to do it.

Q: Where is it coming from? A: Europe.

Q: What country? A: I don’t know. It’s on a ship right now. All I know is it’s on a ship.

Q: Is the goal to be able to practice outside as much as possible? A: Depending on who we are playing. If it’s blizzarding and coming down hard then we’ll probably go in here to get practice done but we want to try and go outside as much as possible when we’re playing in these conditions. When I was in Cincinnati we didn’t have an indoor (facility) so we went outside every day unless it was really bad then we bused up to the University of Cincinnati. I want that to be our mindset. It doesn’t matter what it’s like outside it’s time to go so they aren’t asking, “Are we going outside today? Are we going inside?” They can assume we are going outside unless I tell them differently.

Q: After having the bye week to reflect, how do you judge where this team is at? A: Well we are 4-5. I think we’ve played better recently. You know it’s just so hard to put an evaluation on it because each game is so different. The thing I like the most right now at this point in time if we are looking for positives is the last two ballgames we were able to hang in there in the fourth quarter and win the ballgame and so the resiliency and the tough-minded attitude things like that I think that pleased me so hopefully we can continue it on and our only focus right now is the Bears and what we have to do going forward.

Q: What are your thoughts on Teddy Bridgewater both on and off the field? What do you see for his future going forward? A: You know Teddy off the field is the same as he is on the field. He’s a quality young man who is a terrific person who works extremely hard. His mom raised him great. He’s got great family values, he’s polite, humble with a burning desire inside to be good and not just be a good football player but be a good person. I believe his future is extremely bright. He works so hard and he does so many good things and he’ll continue to do good things.

Q: Do you have a health update on Kyle Rudolph? A: He practiced a little bit today so he ran routes and did a little bit everything, more than individual he did stuff. We’re hopeful but we’ll see as the week goes on.


Q: Do you see the next four games, including three at home, as a stretch for you guys to really get back in the playoff race? A: I look at each game individually, I don’t worry about their records, I don’t worry about three weeks from now or who we play or where we play. What I look at is how we’re playing, how we’re practicing, how we’re studying and trying to get our team to understand that these next seven ballgames are why we’ve worked so hard. That we have to be able to push and be great in this time of the year. The old college saying, “The fans will remember the games in November,” so it’s time for us to try to get remembered.

Q: Why wasn’t Pat Devlin at practice? A: Man, you guys don’t miss a beat. He got hurt in the weight room this morning. I don’t know how bad it is.

Q: Do you expect to keep him on the practice squad? A: I don’t know. I don’t know how bad it is.

Q: What are your thoughts on Orlando Thomas? A: I just remember watching him. I didn’t study defensive guys as much but I know that he played for the Vikings for a long time, he battled a terrible disease and I know that everybody here, myself and our team, our thoughts go out to him and his family.

NFL Head Coach: 2nd YearOverall NFL Experience: 19th YearCoaching Experience: 30th YearOverall NFL Record: 11-14 (.440)Regular Season: 11-14 (.440)Postseason: 0-0 (.000)Record with CHI: 11-14 (.440)Record vs. MIN: 1-1 (.500)College: Minnesota ‘79

Named the fourteenth head coach in Chicago Bears history on January 16, 2013, Marc Trestman led the franchise to an 8-8 record in 2013, the most wins by a head coach in his first season with the Bears in the Super Bowl era and the most since John “Paddy” Driscoll had nine wins in 1956. In its first year under Trestman, Chicago’s offense rewrote the 94-year old franchise record book. In 2013 the Bears offense gained a franchise-best 6,109 net yards. The passing offense set single-season records in gross passing yards (4,450), net passing yards (4,281), completion percentage (64.4), passing touchdowns (32) and passer rating (96.9). The Bears offense also set a franchise mark with 344 first downs and finished second in team history with 445 points. At the quarterback position Jay Cutler and Josh McCown had career years. McCown set the franchise record in passer rating (109.0), completion percentage (66.5) and lowest interception percentage (0.4). Cutler finished second in franchise single-season history with a 63.1 completion percentage and sixth with a career-best 89.2 passer rating. Pro Bowl RB Matt Forte finished second in the NFL with 1,339 rushing yards and third with 1,933 yards from scrimmage, both career-bests ranking ninth and fifth, respectively, in single-season franchise history and most among players other than Hall of Famer Walter Payton. Pro Bowl WRs Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall were sixth and 11th in the NFL, respectively in receiving yards, during the 2013 season. Jeffery’s 1,421 receiving yards were second in franchise annals and Marshall’s 1,295 were fifth. The offensive line allowed just 30 sacks in 2013, tied for fourth fewest in the NFL, after allowing a combined 149 sacks in the three years prior to Trestman’s arrival. Rookie guard Kyle Long was the first Bears offensive lineman to be named to the Pro Bowl since 2006. Trestman joined the Bears with a champion head coaching pedigree and keen offensive expertise. In the five seasons prior to his arrival in Chicago, as a head coach in the Canadian Football League, Trestman led the Montreal Alouettes to back-to-back Grey Cup championships in 2009 and 2010 and was named the CFL’s Coach of the Year in 2009. He also helped tutor quarterback Anthony Calvillo to back-to-back CFL MVP’s in 2008 and 2009. During his time in Montreal, Trestman compiled a 59-31 (.656) regular season record, which included four East Division titles and a 5-3 (.625) record in the playoffs. Overall, in his 29 years coaching, Trestman has been a part of 19 winning seasons, 16 playoff appearances and three championship teams. Trestman has 18 years of coaching experience in the NFL, including eight as an offensive coordinator. During his time in the NFL, Trestman helped his teams to eight playoff appearances, two conference championship games and a Super Bowl appearance (XXXVII as offensive coordinator of the Raiders). Trestman started his coaching career in 1981 at the University of Miami as a volunteer assistant while attending law school. He was named the school’s quarterbacks coach in 1983 and helped direct the Hurricanes to their first-ever National Championship. Under Trestman’s tutelage Hurricanes quarterback Bernie Kosar was selected in the first round of the NFL Supplemental Draft by the Cleveland Browns. In 1985, Trestman got his first coaching experience in the NFL, under Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant as the running backs coach of the Minnesota Vikings, a position he held for two seasons.

2014 VIKINGS COACHING STAFFNORV TURNEROffensive Coordinator

Norv Turner enters his 30th season of NFL coaching in 2014 and his 1st as Offensive Coordinator of the Vikings. A veteran head coach and coordinator, Turner has 15 seasons as an NFL head coach under his belt and as an offensive coordinator for Dallas he helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl XXVII (vs. Buffalo, 1992) and XXVIII (vs. Buffalo, 1993). Turner most recently served as Offensive Coordinator in

Cleveland for the 2013 season and has 8 total seasons as a coordinator- Dallas (1991-93), San Diego (2001), Miami (2002-03), San Francisco (2006) and Cleveland (2013). His 3 stints as a head coach came with Washington (1994-2000), Oakland (2004-05) and San Diego (2007-12). Since 2007, Turner’s teams have ranked in the NFL’s top 5 in offensive points 3 times and the 2010 Chargers notched the #1 offense in the league with a 395.6 yard per game output. Turner’s system has produced the NFL’s leading rusher on 5 different occasions- Emmitt Smith (1991-93), Ricky Williams (2002) and LaDainian Tomlinson (2007). With Cleveland in 2013, Browns WR Josh Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 yards and 9 TDs on 87 catches in only 14 games, doubling his yardage output from the season before. Gordon joined Michael Irvin as WRs under Turner who led the NFL in receiving. Turner honed his coaching skills at USC from 1976-84 under John Robinson, who had been on the Oregon staff when Turner was a QB from 1971-74. His first taste of coaching came as a graduate assistant in 1975 at Oregon before joining Robinson at USC. Turner joined Robinson’s LA Rams staff (1985-90) and was part of a successful program, winning the NFC West in 1985, earning 4 trips to the playoffs in 6 seasons with the club and working closely with pioneering Rams offensive coordinator Ernie Zampese. In 1991, Turner began a 3-season stint as offensive coordinator for Dallas, helping future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman develop into one of the NFL’s greats. In Turner’s 1st season, Smith led the NFL in rushing and Michael Irvin led the NFL in receiving, the 1st time since the 1970 merger that teammates led the league in each category, a feat only achieved one time since (Indianapolis, 1999). Smith led the NFL in rushing each season and in 1993 earned NFL MVP honors, the only Dallas player to win the award. The foundation Turner laid in Dallas helped him earn the head coaching job in Washington from 1994-2000, posting 4 winning seasons, claiming the NFC East in 1999 and advancing to the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Turner went on to serve as head coach in Oakland (2004-05) and most recently San Diego (2007-12) where he won 3 straight AFC West titles (2007-09) and finished 2nd in the Division the other 3 seasons, advancing to face New England in the 2007 AFC Championship game and posting a 56-40 record in regular season action. Turner was honored as USA Today NFL Coach of the Year in 2009. Turner was raised in the Bay Area suburb of Martinez, CA and attended Alhambra High. As a standout QB and DB, Turner earned a scholarship to Oregon where he was a 3-year letterman for the Ducks (1972-74). Turner’s brother, Ron, was an NFL coach with Chicago, Indianapolis and Tampa Bay and currently is head coach at Florida International University, returning to the college ranks where he had been a head coach twice. Turner and wife, Nancy, have 3 children. The eldest, Scott, serves on the Vikings coaching staff working with the QBs after working as an assistant coach with

Carolina (2011-12) and Cleveland (2013). GEORGE EDWARDSDefensive Coordinator

George Edwards makes his Vikings debut in 2014 as the Defensive Coordinator. This will be Edwards’ 3rd stint as an NFL Defensive Coordinator after working in Washington (2003) and Buffalo (2010-2011) in the same capacity. The 2014 season will be Edwards’ 17th season in the NFL and 24th

season as a coach, all spent on the defensive side of the ball. Edwards returned to Miami for his second stint as LBs coach for the 2012 and 2013

seasons. In both seasons, Edwards saw 2 starting LBs with at least 100+ tackles. In 2013, newcomers Philip Wheeler (118) and Dannell Ellerbe (101) finished 1st and 3rd on the team in tackles, respectively.

Edwards served as Defensive Coordinator with the Buffalo Bills in 2010 and 2011. While with the Bills, Edwards led a base 3-4 defense, however the unit was flexible and played out of multiple fronts throughout his tenure. During his time with the Bills, de-fensive tackle Kyle Williams emerged as a defensive presence and was named to his first Pro Bowl and produced career numbers in sacks (5.5) and fumble recoveries (2) in 2010. Also under Edwards’ watch in 2010, the Bills’ pass defense allowed an average of 192.0 passing yards per game to rank 3rd in the AFC, while producing 9 fumble recov-eries to tie for 4th in the AFC and forcing 12 fumbles to tie for 5th in the AFC.

From 2005-2009, Edwards was the LBs coach for the Miami Dolphins. His first 3 years with Miami were spent tutoring the linebackers before focusing on the inside linebackers in 2008. Under Edwards, Zach Thomas was selected to the Pro Bowl fol-lowing both the 2005 and ’06 seasons and was named as the NFL Alumni Linebacker of the Year for the 2006 season.

Edwards spent the 2004 season as the Cleveland Browns Linebackers coach. Before that, Edwards was with the Washington Redskins for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. In 2003, Edwards was named the Defensive Coordinator for the 1st time in his career. Fol-lowing the ’03 season, linebacker LaVar Arrington and cornerback Champ Bailey were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad. In 2002, Edwards served as the Redskins’ assistant defensive coordinator/LBs coach, as Arrington accounted for the most productive sea-son of his NFL career with 107 tackles and 11 sacks and earned his 2nd consecutive Pro Bowl berth.

Edwards entered the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and remained there from 1998-2001. Serving as the LBs coach, Edwards worked under Defensive Coordinator Mike Zimmer who led the Cowboys’ defensive attack. Under Edwards’ guidance, Dexter Coakley, a 3rd-round draft choice in 1997, was selected to the Pro Bowl twice over the 4-year span (1999, 2001), as he was Dallas’ 2nd-leading tackler all 4 years.

Before making the leap to the NFL ranks, Edwards held collegiate assistant posts at Florida (1991), Appalachian State (1992-95), Duke (1996) and Georgia (1997).

A 4-year letterman at Duke University, Edwards was twice named the special teams captain and an honorable mention All-ACC selection at linebacker in 1989.

A native of Siler City, N.C., Edwards and his wife, Jami, have a son, B.J.

MIKE PRIEFERSpecial Teams Coordinator

Mike Priefer enters his 4th year with the Vikings organization as the Special Teams Coordinator. The 13-year NFL coaching veteran has held the same title with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs in years past.Priefer’s special teams units are known for creating big-play opportunities. Since entering the League, Priefer has seen his units account for 18 scores (9 KOR, 6 PR, 1 blocked punt,

1 botched FG and 1 safety). He has also seen his squads block 19 kicks (7 punts, 8 FGs, 4 PATs) since 2002. Since joining the NFL, Priefer has helped David Tyree (ST), Chris Hanson (P), Blair Walsh (K) and Cordarrelle Patterson (RS) earn Pro Bowl nods. Both Walsh and Patterson were named 1st-Team Associated Press All-Pro as rookies, 2 of only 3 Vikings rookies to earn 1st-Team honors in team history. Priefer went to the playoffs with the Giants in 2005 (NFC East Champions), 2006 with Kansas City (Wild Card) and 2012 with the Vikings (Wild Card). In 2012, Priefer was named Special Teams Coach of the Year as voted on by his NFL counterparts and his units ranked #1 in the NFL by the acclaimed Dallas Morning News’ special teams rankings. In 2013, the Vikings showcased the #1 KR man in the NFL, Cordarrelle Patterson, and the #2 PR man in Marcus Sherels. Patterson was named 1st-Team All-Pro and selected to the Pro Bowl after his record-breaking season. Patterson was also named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September and NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his Week 8 performance vs. Green Bay. The rookie broke the Vikings’ single-season kick return record with 1,393 kick return yards, on 43 returns, and a 32.4 return average with 2 KR TDs, leading the NFL in all categories. The 32.4 KR average is 4th-highest in the NFL since the 1970 merger and highest since 1985. Patterson tied the single-season team-record with 2 KR TDs (105t, 109t), also leading the NFL. Patterson’s 109-yard KR TD (10/27/13 vs. GB) was the longest kick return in NFL history. The Vikings average starting position was the 27.2 yard line in 2013. That is the best starting position in the NFL since the NFL moved kickoffs to the 35-yard line in 2010. Not to be outdone, PR Marcus Sherels set the team-record with a 15.2 PR average, good for 2nd in the NFL in 2013. The 2012 season saw the Vikings’ special teams units reach new heights. Priefer’s KOR unit ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 24.6 average start following kickoffs. Rookie kicker Blair Walsh made NFL history going 10-10 on FGs of 50+ yards while being selected to his first Pro Bowl along with being named 1st-Team All-Pro by the AP. Priefer could not have asked for a better start to the 2011 season, his 1st in Minnesota. Harvin took the opening kickoff, Week 1 at San Diego, 103 yards for a TD. Harvin later made NFL history in Week 12 at Atlanta when he returned a kickoff 104 yards before being stopped at the 3-yard line. It was the longest non-scoring play in League history. Prior to joining the Vikings in 2011, Priefer had served as an NFL special teams coach for 9 seasons – Jacksonville (2002), New York Giants (2003-05), Kansas City (2006-08) and Denver (2009-10). From 1994-2001, Priefer coached special teams at the collegiate level, working for Navy (1994-96), Youngstown State (1997-98), VMI (1999) and Northern Illinois (2000-01). Priefer owns a bachelor’s degree from Navy and received a master’s degree from the University of Maryland in 1997. His father, Chuck, was a long-time coach who worked in the NFL (Detroit, Green Bay and San Diego) for 17 seasons and coached at the collegiate level for 12 years. Priefer was born in Cleveland and moved frequently as a coach’s son, graduating from high school in Green Bay. He is married to Debbie, and the couple has four children: Samantha, Michael Jr., Wilson and Katie.

The Vikings bid farewell to Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in the 2013 season finale, a win over Detroit. In the 53-year Vikings history the club has called Met Stadium and MOA Field their homes.

From 1961-81 the Vikings played outdoors at Met Stadium, amassing a 97-59-4 record in 160 all-time regular season and playoff games. The 1st game played at the Met was the preseason finale of the 1961 inaugural season vs. the LA Rams on 9/10/61, a 21-17 Vikings loss. The 1961 regular season opener was a week later when the Vikings upset Chicago 37-13 at the Met. The capacity of the Met was 48,446 during the 1981 season.

For the 1982 season, the Vikings moved downtown and indoors to the Metrodome and went on to play 260 all-time regular season and playoff games, amassing a 168-92 mark. The Vikings played 11 seasons longer at the Metrodome than at Met Stadium- 32 seasons to 21.

The Vikings feature 10 players on the roster who entered the NFL as 1st-round draft choices, all of which were selected by the Vikings.

The Vikings begin a 2-year stint at TCF Bank Stadium hoping to continue the strong home record they have held throughout their history. The Vikings are currently 2-3 in their 5 regular season games at TCF Bank Stadium. The Vikings have amassed the 3rd-most home wins by an NFL team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. The club moved from Metropolitan Stadium following the 1981 season, playing at Mall of America Field at HHH Metrodome starting in 1982. The Vikings played 260 regular season and playoff games indoors, notching a 168-92 record. In 2010 the team endured the loss of the final 2 home games of the season following the collapse of the Dome roof due to heavy snows and blizzard conditions. The Vikings played “host” to the NY Gi-ants at Detroit’s Ford Field and played the regular season home finale at TCF Bank Stadium on the University of Minnesota campus when Chicago visited for a Monday Night Football matchup on 12/20/10. Ironically, the game was 29 years to the day since the last outdoor Vikings game in Minnesota, the fi-nale at Met Stadium on 12/20/81 against Kansas City.

MILLENIUM MAN CAN’T GET AWAY FROM GREENWAY

AYE, AYE CAPTAIN

Vikings 1st-round pick LB Anthony Barr is the 2nd-highest drafed LB in team history, selected #9 overall. Only Hall of Famer Chris Doleman, the #4 pick in the 1985 Draft, was taken higher and he transitioned to play DE early in his career. Barr had the play of the season thus far when he forced, recovered and returned a fumble on the 1st play of OT at Tampa Bay (10/26) to give the Vikings a 19-13 win. The play marked the 1st time in team history an OT game was won on a denfensive TD and only the 4th time in NFL his-tory an OT game was won on a fumble recovery. The win gave the Vikings their 1st victory at Raymond James Stadium and snapped an 0-4-1 streak in OT games on the road.

RAISING THE BARR


SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

Blair Walsh earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his game at Green Bay (11/24/13) when he was 4-of-4 on FGs including an OT kick that tied the game and had 5 touchbacks. A week later, Walsh was in another OT game and came through with the game-tying and game-winning kicks on a 30-yard and 34-yard FG respectively, helping the Vikings erase a 10-point 4th-quarter deficit to get the win. The Bears game marked the 2nd time in Walsh’s career he hit the game-tying kick and game-winner both.

All position coach interviews must be scheduled through the PR department a day in advance. Position coaches are available for questions on specific play-ers and the position group but coordinators will always serve as the primary spokesmen in their areas.

STADIUM & SUPER BOWL LII

VIKINGS NEW STADIUM AND SUPER BOWL LII



Stadium Site:* Downtown East - Minneapolis, MN.* Access from I-35W and Hwy I-94.* Light Rail Transit access.* 33-acres.* Access points to city and stadium on all four sides.* Two-plus acre plaza opening to downtown Minneapolis.* Parking ramps with skyways connected to downtown core.* Expanded tailgating zone in Minneapolis.

Stadium Exterior:* Bold, iconic design unique to Minnesota.* Fixed roof with largest span of transparent ethylene-tetraflouroethylene

(ETFE) in country.* Lightest and most efficient roof structure in nation.* Five of the largest pivoting glass doors in the world that will open to the

fan plaza.* Zinc metal panels, glass and glazed curtain wall.

Stadium Interior:* 65,000 seats, expandable to 72,000 for Super Bowl.* Up to 116 suites and 8,000 club seats, including feld-level suites.* Some of the closest seats and suites to the game action in any NFL

stadium.* Seven levels connected by stairs, ramp, escalators and elevators.* Two concourses with 360-degree circulation and various views into the

bowl.* Highest quality HD video boards located in both east and west end zones;

approximately 118x50 feet.* Nearly 2,000 HD flat screen TVs located throughout.* Large public gathering spaces.* Transparent, open structure connecting fans to outdoors in climate-

controlled environment.* Wide concourses.* More restrooms.* Increased and enhanced concessions.* Accessibility for people with disabilities.* Ample space for pre-game events/activities.* Vikings team store and Hall of Legends.

Following the passage of stadium legislation in both the Minnesota House and Senate on May 10, 2012, the Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) immediately began the design and construction process in order to achieve a 2016 stadium opening. Through a public RFP process, the two parties jointly selected HKS Sports & Entertainment as the stadium architect and Minnesota-based Mortenson Construction as the construction manager. Both have extensive experience in their respective areas with professional sports facilities, with HKS having designed Cowboys Stadium and Lucas Oil Stadium, and Mortenson having built Target Field, TCF Bank Stadium, Xcel Energy Center and Target Center.

With the architect and builder on board, the Vikings and the MSFA unveiled the new stadium design on May 13, 2013, a fitting celebration almost exactly one year after Governor Mark Dayton signed the stadium bill into law on May 14, 2012. The bold, iconic design received high marks from the general public and state leaders for its progressive look and its openness to the surrounding neighborhoods.

Vikings fans also raved about the new design and the stadium’s unique features, including the largest transparent ethylene tetraflouroethylene (ETFE) roof in the nation and five of the largest glass pivoting doors in the world that will open to the downtown skyline. With the stadium’s openness, fans will experience an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment. Vikings fans will also be as close to the action as any NFL stadium in the country, with the closest fans sitting just 41.5 feet from the sideline. Seven levels, including two general admission concourses with 360-degree circulation and various views into the bowl, will be connected with escalators, elevators, stairs and a continuous ramp. Two of the largest and highest-quality HD video boards in the NFL will be located in both the east and west end zones, and approximately 2,000 HD flat screen televisions will be distributed throughout the concourses.

Groundbreaking for the new 65,000-seat stadium took place on December 3, 2013, followed by the demolition of Mall of America Field in the spring of 2014. The Vikings will play the 2014-2015 seasons at the University of Minnesota.

NEW VIKINGS STADIUM SET TO OPEN IN 2016



ETFE Q&AWhat is ETFE?ETFE is a co-polymer resin that is extruded into a thin film. Originally created by the space industry, the plastic-like material is transparent but can be treated to be translucent, is extremely light-weight, very durable and resistant to corrosion.

What is the life/longevity of ETFE?ETFE does not degrade with exposure to UV light, atmospheric pollution, harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures. The material has withstood extensive testing within extreme environments and is expected to have a 30-50 year life expectancy while requiring minimal maintenance.

How does ETFE handle weight/pressure?Despite its weight (1/100 the weight of glass), ETFE handles snow/wind loads very well. In sheet form, it can stretch three times its length without losing elasticity.

How do you clean ETFE?ETFE systems are extremely low maintenance. The surface of the foil is non-stick and non-porous, which allows the natural action of rain to clean the surface. Depos-its of dirt, dust and debris remain unattached and are washed away with moisture, meaning ETFE effectively self-cleans with virtually no need to clean externally.

NEW STADIUM ETFE FACTS* Largest translucent ETFE roof in North America, spanning 240,000 square feet.* Only stadium in the nation with clear ETFE roof.* ETFE will comprise 60% of the entire roof.* ETFE will cover 60% of the field but angle of roof will allow sunlight over entire

field.

NEW VIKINGS STADIUM SET TO OPEN IN 2016



On May 20, 2014, the NFL announced that Minnesota will host Super Bowl LII in February 2018.

After being selected as one of three finalists in October 2013 and submitting the final bid on May 7, the Minnesota Super Bowl Bid Committee delivered a successful presen-tation to all 32 NFL owners during the NFL’s Spring League Meetings in Atlanta. Centered on the theme, “Built for the Bold,” the presentation highlighted the new, iconic and bold stadium as a centerpiece and included the many bold moves Minnesotans have made in creating a destination that is ready to host the world’s biggest game. “We are thrilled to bring the Super Bowl back to Minnesota,” said Richard Davis, chief executive officer of U.S. Bank and bid committee co-chair. “We succeeded in making the best case to the NFL owners by pointing out the many strengths our region offers – a tremendous entertainment and hospitality industry, 19 Fortune 500 companies, great airport and strong connectivity with both our light rail and skyway systems, and perhaps most important, a new, iconic stadium that will be among the best in the country.”

“We appreciate the collaborative effort from Minnesota’s business and community leadership in putting together this winning bid,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. “It was evident to me and my brother Zygi that the other NFL owners were extremely impressed with everything Minnesota has to offer, and we have no doubt they will be even more excited with what the community will deliver in February 2018.”

“The Super Bowl is the most-watched annual event in the world,” said Doug Baker, chief executive officer of Ecolab and bid committee co-chair. “This unprecedented audience, along with the 100,000 people who come to experience it in person, will see this vibrant, engaged community that celebrates all that winter can be when we showcase everything from outdoor activities on Nicollet Mall’s Super Bowl Boulevard to an ice palace at the St. Paul Winter Carnival. We plan to set the bar high for all northern destinations that host the Super Bowl.” “I’m most excited by the opportunity to show the world our community’s remarkable legacy project that will enhance the lives of Minnesota’s children and set a precedent for the future of the game with a $2 million commitment,” said Marilyn Carlson-Nelson, former chair and chief executive officer of Carlson Companies and bid committee co-chair. “It’s also a joy to know that the 29,000 hospitality workers in Minneapolis and many more throughout the region will be able to welcome the world to our state once again in 2018. The innovation, hospitality and boldness that are Minnesota will leave a mark on the NFL and the Super Bowl for many years to come.”

The game will be held in the new Minnesota Multi-Purpose Stadium, currently under construction and set to open in July 2016. The stadium, which will typically seat 65,400, will be expandable to 70,000+ seats for the 2018 Super Bowl. With a clear ETFE roof and five of the largest glass pivoting doors in the world, fans will experience an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment.

Lester Bagley, the Vikings Executive Vice President-Public Affairs & Stadium Development, led the Vikings efforts to secure Super Bowl LII. Bagley worked closely with Vikings ownership, Minnesota’s corporate leaders, hospitality industry and the Stadium Authority, and was instrumental in landing the world’s marquee sporting event.

“Attending fans and the world will see the best of Minnesota – from the sunlit view of downtown Minneapolis through the stadium windows to the many activities happen-ing throughout the region,” said Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen. “The new stadium and adjacent two-block park that is being developed are incredible assets that will offer amazing fan experiences.”

By securing the bid, Minnesota beat contenders New Orleans and Indianapolis, both cities that have hosted successful Super Bowls.

MINNESOTA AWARDED SUPER BOWL LII



In February 2014, the Vikings and Van Wagner Sports & Entertainment completed and opened the New Stadium Preview Center adjacent to the stadium’s construction site.

Located on the fifth floor of the 1010 Metrodome Square Building (1010 South 7th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415), the 7,500 square-foot, state-of-the-art Preview Center is designed to give Vikings fans their first look at the future game experience within the new stadium set to open in July 2016. The interactive space, the largest ever built by an NFL team, overlooks the stadium construction site and includes a custom-filmed experiential player tunnel and Vikings locker room experience, two authentic Suite build-outs, a 24-seat Club seating section, 37 high-definition televisions and seven interactive kiosks. The center also contains a 100:1 scale city-scape model and a 25:1 scale detailed architectural stadium model. In picking out their seat locations, fans have the opportu-nity to see 360-degree panaromic views from 275 vantage points within the stadium.

In order to provide fans with all of the latest new stadium infor-mation, the Vikings and Van Wagner Sports & Entertainment launched a new web site - newminnesotastadium.com - earlier this year.

The web site not only gives fans exclusive looks at the stadium’s exterior and interior design through various photos and videos but it also addresses the most commonly asked questions and includes media coverage surrounding the stadium’s design and construction. Fans can also walk step-by-step through the sales process or sign up for the new stadium ticket waitlist.

MSFA STATE OF THE STADIUM



NEW STADIUM NUMBERSThe Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) held its monthly board meeting on Friday, October 10, providing an update on the construction of the new Vikings stadium as well as an equity update, and announcing additions to the stadium budget and a fan recognition program.

As noted in this week’s New Stadium News and Notes, the Vikings have added another $518,000 to the stadium project budget and the total team contribution is now just shy of $527 million. But the MSFA’s update this week included several other encouraging and noteworthy updates.

- The stadium project is 23% complete.

- On average, approximately 620 workers are on site daily.

- $185,000,000 of work has been completed to date.

- 70% of the main concourse has been poured.

- The MSFA will contract with Fund Raisers, Ltd. to provide a fan recognition program that will include commemorative bricks.

- The new stadium project is exceeding equity goals that were established. The goal for the project is to have 32% of all workforce hours performed by minorities; the project is achieving 39%. The goal for the project for hours worked by women is 6%; the project is achieving 9%. The goal for minority owned businesses is 9%; the project is achieving 11%. The goal for women owned business is 11%; the project is achieving 17%.

Lastly, the final piece of the prow, which weighs 400,000 pounds and is 200 feet long and 20 feet deep, was placed on the site on Thursday. The largest piece of steel, the roof ridge truss, weighs 750,000 pounds and will be placed in mid-November.



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - NOVEMBER 1, 2014Ring Beam Installation Begins

This week another construction milestone was reached as installation of the new stadium’s ring beam began. Consisting of con-crete with steel reinforcement running both horizontally and vertically, ring beams are a type of support used in construction to connect walls and columns together to increase the load capacity. In this case, the ring beam creates a structural diaphragm at the top of the stadium’s columns in order to support the roof trusses and transfer the load to the columns.

Clear Stadium Roof Makes First Appearance on Construction Site

Clear is the new retractable.

On Thursday, construction workers spent the afternoon installing an on-site mock-up of the ETFE roof that will ultimately cover 60% of the new Vikings stadium and provide fans with an outdoor feel in a climate-controlled environment.

Placement of ETFE on the stadium’s roof is expected to begin next summer, and the stadium will be fully enclosed by late Fall 2015. Given that the new material is now on site, we thought it might be time for an ETFE refresher course.



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - OCTOBER 24, 2014ICYMI – Media Tour Stadium Site; Construction Nearly 25% Complete

This past Monday, members of the local media were invited by the Vikings, the MSFA and Mortenson Construction to tour the new Vikings stadium construction site for the first time since significant work began nine months ago. Included as part of the tour was an introduction to Mortenson’s 4-D model, which General Superintendent Dave Mansell refers to as his “crystal ball” because it il-lustrates completion and projection of nearly 20,000 activities via a 3-D computer model over time. Mortenson representatives also explained that nearly $185 million of work has been completed and approximately 650 construction workers are currently calling the site home on a daily basis. For complete video and photo coverage of the tour, click here.

Prepare for Congestion During November 2 Home Game; Plan to Arrive Early

With a community march and rally scheduled to take place on the U of M campus and outside of TCF Bank Stadium prior to the Vikings game next Sunday, November 2, Vikings fans and Season Ticket Members should expect increased congestion pregame and are being encouraged to plan accordingly.

Along with leaving home early, fans are being asked to consider alternate routes to the stadium, including State Fairground tailgat-ing lots. Approximately 1,500 spaces are available for tailgating on Lot 108 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. At a cost of $20, fans can park and tailgate in the lot before University buses pick them up, travel down the University’s Transitway and drop fans off directly in front of TCF Bank Stadium for an expected total ride of less than 10 minutes. Fans can purchase season or single-game parking passes for the State Fairgrounds (St. Paul Lot) here.

Fans can also access surface lots north of the old Metrodome/new stadium construction site as a cheap game day parking option. For just $10, fans can enter on the corner of 4th Street and Chicago Avenue, tailgate in the neighborhood in which they are ac-customed, hop on the Green Line at the Downtown East location and arrive in front of TCF Bank Stadium minutes later. Fans can purchase passes for these lots here (Please note due to the heavy use of the Green Line, fans should prepare to leave the lots early in order to ensure arrival prior to kickoff).



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - OCTOBER 17, 2014New Stadium Project Helps Small Businesses

Recently the Star Tribune’s Neal St. Anthony posted a piece discussing the opportunities small minority-owned businesses have to work on the stadium project as a result of loans administered by the Metropolitan Economic Development Authority (MEDA), a veteran nonprofit loan counselor. It’s a great look into the challenges small businesses face, as well as the significant opportunities major projects like the stadium can provide if done properly. Stadium construction is currently exceeding all equity goals related to targeted business and construction workforce and is on pace to set a new equity standard for these projects. Read the full article here.

Another Construction Milestone Reached

The new stadium reached yet another milestone Thursday with the first installation of precast concrete. Fabricated by Hanson Structural Precast of Maple Grove, MN, the concrete delivery is scheduled to continue until January 2016. The precast method allows concrete to be produced under controlled conditions in a reusable form before being transferred to construction sites. Check out the photos of the first installation here.

Media Set to Tour Construction Site

Next Monday, October 20, members of the media will have their first opportunity to tour the entire stadium construction site. Members of the Vikings, the MSFA and Mortenson Construction will provide a construction update before guiding media members through the project site, which through 10 months of construction is already 23% complete. We’ll be sure to share photos and vid-eos from the tour here.



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - OCTOBER 10, 2014Preview Center Crosses 5,000 Appointments

The New Stadium Preview Center, which opened to Vikings Season Ticket Members in early March, remains a popular destina-tion for Season Ticket Members. Through the first seven months, more than 5,000 appointments have been scheduled in the 7,500-square foot interactive space. Van Wagner and the Vikings are currently finishing Zones 9 and 10 in the 16-zone seating priority process. If you haven’t yet seen the Preview Center, take a sneak peek or join the wait list to ensure your spot in line at the new stadium.

Vikings Add $518,000 to New Stadium Budget

The MSFA Board announced today that the Vikings have put another $518,000 into the new stadium. The dollars will go toward items such as mobile beverage carts in the concourses, an additional elevator and other changes to the executive suite level, as well as additional design services for the skyway system connected to the stadium. The stadium budget now sits just over $1.024 billion and includes just shy of $527 million from the Vikings. The original public contribution of $498 million has not changed.

“Who’s Behind That Vikings Stadium Crane?”

Given that at least one piece of structural steel seems to be placed each week lately, now is a good time to revisit who is overseeing the effort. Earlier this summer, when the third-largest crane in the world was placed on the construction site, the Star Tribune’s Rochelle Olson took a peek at who exactly is “raising the roof.”

Nearly 25% of Vikings Fans Riding Light-Rail to TCF Bank Stadium

Metro Transit recently told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that nearly 25% of Vikings fans attending games at the University of Minnesota are utilizing the Green Line, which opened in June 2014. “According to Metro Transit, 12,780 fans took the light-rail line to TCF Bank Stadium for the Vikings vs. New England game on September 14 and 12,737 fans did so on September 28 when the team hosted Atlanta. In both cases, that represented 24 percent of all fans who went to the game.”

Tailgating Options – Come Early, Have Fun, Avoid Parking Issues

While getting to and from Vikings games at TCF Bank Stadium can be challenging, two convenient tailgating options exists that allow fans to avoid some of the game day traffic issues.

Approximately 1,500 spaces are available for tailgating on Lot 108 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. At a cost of $20, fans can park and tailgate in the lot before University buses pick them up, travel down the University’s Transitway and drop fans off directly in front of TCF Bank Stadium for an expected total ride of less than 10 minutes. Fans can purchase season or single-game parking passes for the State Fairgrounds (St. Paul Lot) here.

The Vikings are also offering tailgating opportunities on surface lots just north of the old Metrodome/new stadium construction site. For just $10, fans can enter on the corner of 4th Street and Chicago Avenue, tailgate in the neighborhood to which they are accustomed, hop on the Green Line at the Downtown East location and arrive in front of TCF Bank Stadium minutes later. Fans can purchase passes for these lots here (Please note due to the heavy use of the Green Line, fans should prepare to leave the lots early in order to ensure arrival prior to kickoff.).



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - OCTOBER 3, 2014More Structural Steel Placed

This week two more pieces of structural steel that will ultimately make up the roof truss spanning the entire length of the stadium from east to west were placed on site. Each piece of steel brings the truss structure closer to its connection with the west prow, the highest point of the stadium at approximately 270 feet. Check out this view from the stadium web cam to see the progress.

Connect the Skyway Dots

One of the cool attributes of the new stadium will be its connection via skyway to the Minneapolis downtown core. Essentially fans will be able to park at the ramps on the west side of Minneapolis near Target Field and never step outside as they make their way to the new stadium. Those connections will prove vital for major events like the Super Bowl and the NCAA Final Four. Check out the skyway connections here.



STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - SEPTEMBER 12, 2014Stadium’s Highest Point Now Visible

This week the second piece of structural steel that ultimately makes up the stadium’s west “prow,” was placed on site. At its peak, the prow, which will be the highest point of the stadium, reaches more than 270 feet above grade. Reminder you can watch the stadium construction progress 24 hours a day, seven days a week here.

New Tailgating Options for 2014 Season

With the 2014 Minnesota State Fair behind us, the fairgrounds are now available for Vikings fans’ parking/tailgating needs on game day.

University buses will pick fans up at the lot, travel down the University’s Transitway and drop fans off directly in front of TCF Bank Stadium for an expected total ride of less than 10 minutes. Fans can purchase season or single-game parking passes for the State Fairgrounds (St. Paul Lot) here.

The other half of the prow is scheduled to be placed next week, another major milestone in the project. Watch the first half go up below, and view photos of the piece here.

State Fairgrounds Parking Now Available for Tailgating

With the 2014 Minnesota State Fair behind us, the fairgrounds are now available for Vikings fans’ parking/tailgating needs on game day. Approximately 1,500 spaces will be available for tailgating on Lot 108 at a cost of $20 per game. This is a convenient option for fans who do not want to deal with traffic.

STADIUM NEWS & NOTES - AUGUST 22, 2014Vikings Increase Contribution to New Stadium

On Friday the Minnesota Vikings and the Wilf family agreed to commit an additional private contribution of $46.1 million toward the new stadium, bringing the team’s total increased contributions to the project since last November to nearly $49 million. Com-bined, the additional dollars push the original team/private contribution of $477 million to nearly $526 million (51% of stadium capital costs) and increase the stadium budget from $975 million to approximately $1.024 billion. The public contribution toward the project remains at $498 million. The team has also now absorbed a total of $23.2 million in costs of playing at the University of Minnesota for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

The additional dollars will be directed into the overall stadium budget and will ensure crucial fan amenities such as the five pivoting glass doors, elevators, escalators and acoustical treatments remain in the project. Click here for more information on the additional contribution.

SMG to Operate New Vikings Stadium

Also on Friday, the Vikings and the MSFA chose SMG as the new Vikings stadium operator. SMG has extensive experience in oper-ating major sports venues, managing over 200 facilities worldwide, including four NFL stadiums (Soldier Field in Chicago, Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, NRG Stadium in Houston and Everbank Field in Jacksonville).

SMG facilities have hosted nine Super Bowls over the years. The company’s experience in that regard will be a fantastic asset as the new Vikings stadium prepares to host Super Bowl LII in 2018 and other major events. SMG has also committed to work with the Minnesota State High School League, colleges, and community groups to secure events that were previously held in the Metro-dome.

The 10-year contract includes an annual $6.75 million revenue guarantee to the publicly-owned stadium, which will allow the Min-nesota Sports Facilities Authority to build and maintain its capital and operating reserves to ensure that this stadium remains a world-class facility.

Vikings-MSFA Agree to Business Parameters for Potential MLS Team

The MSFA and the Vikings have reached a business agreement related to the use of the new stadium by a potential future Major League Soccer franchise. The agreement calls for an MLS team to pay $340,000 in annual rent, as well as cover game day expenses.

Reaching this agreement is a significant step forward in the Vikings pursuit of an MLS franchise, as it provides specific business parameters to the MLS and further shows the seriousness of the Vikings effort.

Between the operable doors, the transparent roof and the house reduction system that is currently being designed, the new stadi-um would be an outstanding MLS venue.
