I tried the chrome dev channel (19.0.1061.1) with the extjs 4.1 2012-03-11 nightly build and the problem with the toolbar buttons randomly disappearing is still present... it seems to happen less frequently though...
I'll try to find some time around the end of the week and try to dig in to see what could be going on...
The charts legends are rendered correctly though....

So it started happening to me and when it did I inspected the DOM. The elements are still there and still laid our properly but they are just hidden. No CSS style hidden but just oddly hidden. Since they are still there and not CSS hidden, Ext JS has no involvement for what I am seeing.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I've also experienced this issue. When I run my project using 4.0.7 in Chrome 19 I have never seen this issue come up. I have only seen it when using 4.1 and Chrome 19. However, I haven't given it any thought considering neither is final at this point...

Here is the same. Randomly, components disappear. What happens is that after some layout calculations, the width of the container element is changed to 0.
With some time I will try figure out from where the wrong width come - if it was some wrong calc, some ordering issue, a chrome error, etc...
I'm using Chrome Canary 19.0.xxx.0.

I don't know why yet, but I think I can reproduce the problem.
I've noted that it was happening when my app is changing some text after the page is fully rendered.
Workflow of my app:
1 - render viewport and a lot of views
2 - load some stores
3 - change some labels with the store content <<---- here the things disappear...
So, I created a little test case. I took some code of my app and I changed it to be simple, but kept some components. And just put a delayed callback to change the same label..... And I still couldn't reproduce the problem... But when I duplicate the code to change the label, voilá - the tab bar were gone!!!
I've attached my test case. The tab bar disappears after 1 sec (setTimeout callback...).
I will try others test cases. Maybe my code is just plain wrong.

This problem is happening in the new chrome stable released today - version 18...
30 Mar 2012 4:36 AM #18
Chrome on Mac
Seems to be ok on PC but on Mac version 18.0.1025.142, widgets start disappearing almost immediately.
30 Mar 2012 8:05 AM #19
Here we have mac, windows 7 and vista, all with the same problem.
30 Mar 2012 8:42 AM #20
I thought it was only on Chrome 19
Now the best browser has the worst support.

GENESEO, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo is observing National Hazing Prevention Week Sept. 23 – 27 with a number of events focusing on how to recognize hazing and ways to prevent it in the first place. The national theme this year is "Know. Decide. Act." All events on the Geneseo campus are free and open to the public.
"This week allows all of us as community members to educate students, administrators, parents, members of the faculty and staff, coaches, residence hall leaders, community members, local and campus police officers and others about the importance of this issue," said Wendi Kinney, co-chair of the college's hazing prevention workgroup.
Keynote speaker is Amanda Berg, who will speak about her relationship with alcohol during her college years through her award-winning 2011 student photo documentary, "Keg Stand Queens." The project shows the effects of binge drinking among college-aged women. Her address is scheduled Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. in the MacVittie Union Ballroom.
The college is conducting "Party SMART" risk-reduction training Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. in Newton Hall Room 214. Among other events during the week is Gordie Day Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the MacVittie Union Ballroom lobby, where information will be available about hazing prevention.
Among hazing prevention resources available on campus is the award-winning "Stand Up for One Another" program, which encourages students to intercede and act on their concern for their fellow students' well-being.

"These giants, averaged 23 to 27 millimeters in length, nearly double the size of crickets used in Mainland China."
Is "averaged" used correctly here?
"These giants, averaged 23 to 27 millimeters in length, nearly double the size of crickets used in Mainland China."
Is "averaged" used correctly here?
All that Richard says is true, but the problem is not so much with the arithmetic meaning of average, as it is the punctuation or grammar.
Here are two possible alternatives, (which are both grammatical, unlike your sentence):
Agree with Jim, but I think a more fitting usage without the comma would be
Your sample's form is
where X, Y are noun phrases and P, Q are numbers. The only verb in the sample is averaged. It occurs in a phrase that is punctuated like an appositive in the sense of a noun phrase "placed with another as an explanatory equivalent ... having the same syntactic function in the sentence." But "averaged P to Q" is not a noun phrase, so cannot be an appositive in this sense. Some rewritings to deal with that problem (with verbs in bold italics) were suggested in previous answers:
Note that these sentences are of muddled meaning because an average is a single number, not a range. Of course that single number may lie within some stated range. When an average is given in a form like "25 mm ± 2 mm", conventionally it represents a claim that at some previously-stated level of confidence (eg 95%) the population mean is within specified limits, for example 23 to 27 mm. The convention does not extend to treating the gauche "averaged 23 to 27 mm" the same as the proper "an average of 25 mm ± 2 mm".
No, but it is a common usage.
It combines the actual meaning of average (aka arithmetic mean) with the domain of the set of values, with the outliers ignored.
So I would infer from your example that 99% of the crickets are between 23 and 27 mm.

Dr. Cliff Karnes began the February NCOE Board of Education meeting discussing the financial status of the district. If Governor Quinn passes his proposals, NCOE would lose $1.1 million over a three-year period.
The General State Aid (GSA) fund is the entitlement due the schools based upon student enrollment, average daily attendance, poverty count, as well as other factors. Last year, instead of 100 percent funding, the legislature cut funding to the school to 89%. Currently the Governor is proposing funding the GSA at 80% or equal to what the district received in the 1999-2000 school year.
Karnes gave the Board members a copy of the General State Aid losses that will occur for all the schools in the Egyptian Division of the Illinois Association of School Administrators. He told the Board "the Governor is holding schools and kids hostage wanting his pension reform bill to pass."
In regard to security issues, Dr. Karnes told the board that access doors in the three buildings are being completed. These access systems will require visitors to the buildings to be "buzzed in" during school hours. Money for this project will come from the Health/Life Safety funds.
The staff is continuing training for safety issues. On Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, a team from NCOE attended a conference provided by the Regional Office of Education on crisis management training. The team included staff from each building and the focus of the training was preparing them to deal with any type of crises or tragedy that students and staff could face.
The NCO cooks held their popular "Bring Your Sweetie to Lunch" on Valentine's Day. Over 275 guests ate in the cafeteria while some came to just sit with students. The PTO also held a bake sale and sold paper flowers to the fifth through eight grade students.
NCO also participated in the White County Soil and Water Conservation poster contest. Principal Sandy Burke announced there were six first place awards, seven second place awards and seven third place winners from NCO.
The Pre-K program at Booth under the direction of Mrs. Angela Nelson received high marks during a recent state visit.
High School Principal Matt Vollman commended the WYSE team that finished second in the 300 Division during the Feb. 2 competition at SIC and will advance to compete at SIU-C.
Individual WYSE winners include Drake Carter, second in Biology; Tyler Lamb, second in Chemistry and third in Math; Dominique Feuquay, third in Computer Science; Stephanie Johns, second in Computer Science; Richie Brinkley, third in Engineering Graphics; Caleb Brown, first in Math; Brady Webb, first in Physics; and Luke Marsh, third in Physics.
The Board then voted to renew the contracts of administrators for the 2013-14 school year. Mrs. Burke will be in the final year as NCO Principal as she will be retiring at the end of the 2013-2014 school year. David Flechs, Booth Principal, submitted his letter of intent to retire at the January meeting. He was given a four-year contract, through the end of the 2016-2017 school year.
Page 2 of 2 - Karnes and Vollman each received a one-year contract, and they will receive the same salary increase that will be stated in the teachers' collective bargaining agreement. The teachers are in the final year of their contract and negotiations will soon begin.
The Board also accepted the letter of intent to retire from Denita Evans at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. The board also accepted the letter from Kay Turner to retire at the end of this school year.
In other business, the Board-
--Passed a resolution to convey ownership of the old NCO building to WOVSED.
--Accepted the Booth Trust report as presented.
--Had a report on the Operation Teen Safe Driving program held Feb. 8. Vollman thanked Illinois State Police; ambulance and Life Flight teams; and Cherry Street Automotive for the donation of a car to this event.

Turning a challenge into an opportunity
[centrifuge plants]
Oily wastes are a normal byproduct of many operations
carried out by the oil industry between well and pump. The path
starts at production and continues on through transport and refining. Although the waste
quantity is small compared to the industrys overall
output, the size of the industry means that these oily wastes
can add up to a considerable problem. One concern with these
wastes is the loss of useable volume in crude oil tanks or
emergency lagoons due to the volume taken up by the waste.
Another concern is the environmental hazards that the waste
may pose. Direct disposal of these wastes without prior
treatment is normally not possible, but, apart from the
requirement for some form of treatment, todays crude oil
prices often provide an additional incentive for treatment, as
oil wastes are a valuable resource that can be recovered if
In this context the decanter, or solid-bowl centrifuge, is a
very versatile instrument and key component of most advanced
oil waste treatment plants.
Due to the variability of the oily waste as feed product
(because of different crude properties, different histories and
the origin of the waste), treatment systems should be tailored
to each projects needs, rather than
being a standard unit put to work under all kinds of
conditions. The decanter centrifuge along with ancillary and
additional equipment, can easily be adapted to such varying
technical requirements.
Oil waste is not a precisely defined product, but it varies
over a wide range with regard to its composition and
properties. The hydrocarbon content is typically at the
heavier end of the spectrum, but this will depend on the oil
field where the crude was produced. The waste may also include
light hydrocarbons, or it may represent only a certain fraction
of the range. Water is often present, but not always. To offer
a common example, the solids could be sand, rust or organic
matter. There is also often an emulsion present as a fourth
component that comprises hydrocarbons, water and captured fine
solids. Some examples illustrate the variety of products that
are collectively addressed as oil sludge:
Waste oil drilling mud
Oilfield pit sludge waste
Storage tank bottom sludge
Emergency lagoon sludge
Refinery slop
Oily sludge from refinery effluent treatment.
Similarly diverse are the primary treatment targets,
depending on the project specific background. While, in one
case, the only target may be to achieve a product that can
safely be disposed in a landfill, another project may require a
final product that is good for incineration. Then there might
be a project that requires good quality oil for recycling into
the refining process, or needs a good
water phase for re-use in the process. Naturally, the product
properties, together with the primary treatment targets, will
determine the basic process steps, as shown in a few examples
in Table 1 and Table 2.
Due to this vast diversity, laboratory analyses and tests
are extremely important in order to determine the
products properties, the results that a particular
treatment method is likely to achieve in full scale and the
respective process requirements to run the treatment process
Other parameters that are required as input into the
treatment plant design include product and site data (including
customer regulations) relevant for explosion protection,
available heat sources and general installation
The solid-bowl or decanter centrifuge is the machine of
choice for treatment of oil wastes. While other products often
leave the option to use belt-filter presses or plate-and-frame
presses instead, those types of machines are not suitable for
oil waste treatment. Even at low oil contents, the sludge will
stick to the filter cloth and will eventually blind it.
Similarly, three-phase separation, where the solids are
separated from the liquid phase and the liquid phase is split
into oil and water, is impossible to achieve with presses.
Contrary to presses, which work on the principle of
filtration, decanter centrifuges are separating via the
principle of sedimentation by making use of the different
specific gravity of the oil sludges components. The
decanters operating principle is analogous to a
continuously fed sedimentation tank with a bottom scraper. In
such a tank, solids will settle on the bottom and oil will
float on top of the water under natural gravity, provided the
hydraulic retention time in the tank is long enough for the
separation to take place. This simple principle is also often
used in various places in the petroleum industry.
For fine solids and/or viscous hydrocarbons, the time
required to achieve separation under natural gravity may be too
long to be economical, or the separation result may be less
than desired. This is typically the case with oil sludges, and,
therefore, sedimentation is enhanced in the decanter centrifuge
by increasing the driving force by three orders of magnitude,
spinning the product so fast that centrifugal accelerations of
up to several thousand times g (= gravitational acceleration;
average = 9.81 m/s2) are created.
Using the analogy of the sedimentation tank again, the tank
may be rolled into a cylinder with the tank bottom becoming the
cylinder wall, and the water body and scraper being located
inside the cylinder. This cylinder, called the cylindrical
bowl, is rotated with several thousand rpm around its
longitudinal axis to create the required centrifugal
acceleration. Feed into this system is continuous via a fixed
pipe extending from the outside into the center of the
cylinder. In this system, the solids will move radialy outward
and settle on the inner surface of the cylinders wall.
Water will form a layer sitting on top of this sediment layer,
and oil (if present) will form a third layer further inward
(toward the center) on top of the water layer. The shape
of the bottom scraper will be changed to that of a screw
conveyor, also called the scroll, which will rotate with a
slightly different speed to the cylinder in order to convey the
sediment toward the outlet.
To one end of the cylinder, a truncated cone (also called
the beach) is added in order to block this end for the liquids.
It is over this beach that the solids are conveyed and
discharged out of the bowl. The other end of the cylindrical
bowl is closed with a head wall that has outlet openings with
adjustable weirs for discharge of the liquid. Further devices
can be added to the decanter centrifuge to separately extract a
second liquid phase if present. Fig. 1 shows a schematic
drawing of a two-phase decanter centrifuge.
Fig. 1. Schematic
drawing of a two-phase
decanter centrifuge.
In order to be able to perform most efficiently and
economically under site conditions, tailoring the decanter
centrifuge to the project specific requirements is
required. This includes:
Materials of construction for wetted parts,
taking into account corrosion, abrasion, operating temperatures
and operating/maintenance regime
Wear-protection level and system, taking into
account abrasiveness of the product, the size and nature of the
solid particles contained in the product, the operating and maintenance regime and available
repair capabilities
Liquid-phase extraction devices, in the case of
three-phase separation, taking into account the variability of
the content of both liquid phases, quality requirements for the
separated liquid phases and downstream plant/equipment
Explosion protection measures, taking into
account ambient conditions and product properties at operating
conditions and national and/or customer specific
Drive system for bowl and scroll, taking into
account product and process requirements and site
While these choices will only marginally affect the capital
expenditure for the decanter centrifuge compared to the cost of
the entire treatment plant, their effect on the operability,
availability and efficiency of the decanter centrifuge as the
core piece of the plant can be considerable. Therefore, special
care has to be taken that these options in all their breadth
are indeed available and considered in depth, and eventually
the right choice is made and implemented. Two examples for
decanter centrifuges are shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 to
demonstrate some of the differences in design.
Fig. 2.
Explosion-proof (ATEX) two-phase
decanter with hydraulic scroll drive.
Fig. 3.
Explosion-proof (ATEX) three-phase
decanter with electro-mechanical
regenerative backdrive.
The following two examples of oil waste treatment systems
are discussed in order to illustrate the aspects outlined above
and thus provide the link between theory and practice.
Example 1. A treatment system for lagoon
sludge in Siberia was installed in several containers to be
placed onsite outdoors (Fig. 4). The core piece is a
three-phase decanter for separation of oil, water and solids in
one device. The oil is fed back into the refinerys crude stock, while
the water phase receives further treatment in the
refinerys effluent treatment plant.
Fig. 4. Containerized
treatment system with
three-phase decanter getting prepared
Explosion protection was designed in accordance with
potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) Directive 94/9/EC.
Explosion protection required that all high voltage electrical
equipment be installed onsite in a separate container placed
outside the hazardous area. The electrical container also
included basic laboratory facilities in order to allow the
plant operators to assess the properties of the feed and
treated products and carry out adjustments as required.
Example 2. A skid-mounted treatment system
for oilfield waste in China was placed indoors and connected to
an extensive mechanical pretreatment system delivered
separately (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5. Skid-mounted
treatment system with
two-phase decanter plus three-phase
separator before shipment to China.
In view of these requirements, the separation process was
split into two steps. The first step featured a two-phase
decanter centrifuge with the sole task of removing solids. The
next step utilized a three-phase high speed disc stack
separator to separate and clean the oil and water phases.
Similar to the decanter centrifuge, a disc stack separator also
uses differences in specific gravity for separation. However,
it provides even higher centrifugal acceleration and a higher
settling area, with the 1xg equivalent being a
lamella settler.
As the treatment facility is situated in a remote location,
no steam was readily available and a thermal oil heating system
was used instead to provide heat to all parts of the plant.
Similar to Example 1, explosion protection is based on ATEX,
and all high voltage equipment is installed outside the
hazardous area, in the central electrical room of the
The large quantities of oily waste produced by the oil
industry worldwide are a significant economical burden. In
order to treat this waste in the most economical way, a
detailed study of the product and of the external factors
surrounding the project is required. Advanced treatment methods
are centered around decanter centrifuges for liquid-solid
separation. These machines have proven to be the most reliable
and flexible to separate these complex oil-water-solids
mixtures under the harsh conditions typically met onsite.
Decanter centrifuges and the treatment plants in which they
are operating should be designed to the specific requirements
of each project in order to make the best
use of the versatility of the decanter and thus achieve optimal
performance. By following this groundwork, a refiner can turn a
challenge into an opportunity. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

While watching the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II events going on recently, I noticed that the Queen's husband is referred to as 'Prince'-- not 'King'. Upon researching further, I found that Queen Victoria and Mary III's husbands were both referred to as Prince, and not King. Is there a reason that a male marrying a Queen would not receive the title 'King', while a woman marrying a King would be elevated to the title of 'Queen'?
While Queen may refer to both Queen regnant (sovereign) or Queen consort, the King has always been the sovereign. There are historical reasons for this hierarchy --in a long line of English monarchs you will find more Kings than you would find Queens. In fact, if you do not recognize Matilda's and Lady Jane's claim to the throne of England then Queen Mary I of England becomes the first female sovereign of England --and that happened in 1553, when the institution was already about 800 years old (recognzing kings before 1066).
This [long absence of a female sovereign] obviously led to the general belief that the King was the highest authority in England (hence a Kingdom and not a Queendom). And since historically Kings had declared their wives as Queens, the Queen had come to signify a lower rank in the hierarchy. Thus, Queens never bestowed the generous title of King on their husbands.
There are two exceptions of which I am aware:
There are two types of queens. A Queen Consort is the wife of a King. A Queen Regnant is a ruler in her own right, a "female king" of you will.
The husband of a Queen Consort is just the King, per the above. But the husband of a Queen Regnant is a Prince Consort. "Prince" is one level below King, and the Consort's title is held at a level below the Queen's.
Queen Elizabeth II is a Queen Regnant, having inherited the title from her father King George VI, and that's why her husband Philip is a Prince Consort.
There are instances when the King of country A marries the Queen Regnant of country B. (E.g King Philip of Spain and Queen Mary of England.) Then the husband is generally referred to as "King," because that's what he is in his own country (A). But he's really a "Prince Consort" in country B.
There is also something called the Crown Matrimonial, whereby a Queen Regnant will give "equal" (kingly) powers to her husband through her marriage (matrimony). Sweden's Queen Ulrike Eleonora did this in the 18th century. But that's rare, and is a form of de facto "abdication."
There is a very good reason not to refer to the Queen's spouse as "King" - because they aren't the King. King is a job title in the government (like President or Prime Minister, or Mayor, or Senator), not a role in a marriage.
The monarch/sovreign of a country acquires the title "King" based on their role in the governance relationship.
The spouse of the sovreign does not share the role of monarch any more than the First Lady aquires the title President, or the wife of a policeman gets a badge.
Interesting, if less than completely relevant note; if the Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to a female child, that would be the first woman in history who would have full and unchallenged right to the title of Queen of England. (Prior to this, a female child would be supplanted by a subsequent male heir). In that case, her husband would also be "Prince".
One reason, certainly in the UK, is that a woman has historically, and still, taken her title/status from her husband not the other way round. So, if Miss Jane Smith marries the Duke of Basingstoke, she becomes the Duchess of Basingstoke. But when Countess Mountbatten succeeded her father in default of male heirs, her husband did not become an Earl.
Medieval practice was different, and if men married the last female heir to a title, he assumed her father's title sui uxoris. I am not sure when this practice died out. Whilst not related to the UK, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's husband is merely "Prince" not Crown Prince.
I suspect as more females inherit under gender blind primogeniture, this may well change.

There's something about voicing a goal out loud that makes me feel that much more accountable to it. Such is the case with my plans for Saturday, October 5th, when I line up for the Run for a Reason half marathon, benefiting the YWCA's Girls on the Run program.
I spent a along time hedging on this one. I've been pretty regular about training this summer and have steadily built distance. But I never actually registered, hence, giving myself an out.
No more! The form is submitted and I now say I AM running a half marathon this fall! Not only that, I signed my husband up for it, since I've been dragging him out early Sunday mornings for the long runs!
I am excited about the prospect of pushing myself in order to reach the finish line. It's not just the physical aspect of running 13.1 mile, but also the mental challenge of not letting doubt creep into your mind, of feeling like you can't take another step but persevering to reach the goal.
It's what makes Girls on the Run the perfect beneficiary of this endeavor. The program is a simple enough concept in that it is a running program for girls in grades 3 through 7. But, through running, the girls build confidence and recognize their inner strength.
The Run for a Reason also has a 5k option, and many of the girls in the program will participate. It is one of many finish lines they'll strive to reach in their lives. For those who've never run three blocks, much less three miles, they'll find themselves realizing that, "hey, if I made it through this, imagine what else I can do!"
If you aren't able to run, come on out and hang around the finish line or along the route to cheer and provide encouragement as runners work toward their goals, one step at a time.
Run for a Reason is Saturday, Oct. 5. The run begins and ends near the YWCA, SW 12th and Van Buren. Find details and a course map at www.ywcatopeka.org

Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings Tickets
Last year was the second year the Minnesota Vikings were under the direction of head coach, Mike Zimmer. He has seemed to make an impact on the team, leading them to the playoffs for the first time since 2012 and taking the NFC North title, which hadn't happened since 2009. This year the Vikings will be returning to the field with the most coveted running back in the league, Adrien Peterson. The Vikings played their last home game in the TCF Bank Stadium last season and are looking forward to moving into the new U.S. Bank Stadium that will be up and ready in July 2016. There's nothing like NFL football live—get your Minnesota Vikings tickets today and experience the energy and excitement firsthand!

Minnesota Vikings News and Updates
Like the rest of the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings are making some changes during the offseason to create a stronger, better team for the 2016 season. The latest news out of the Vikings during the second round of Organized Team Activities is that B.J. Dubose is being moved to the injured reserve list, thanks to a torn ACL that occurred last week. Bruce Gaston has been signed to take his place. There is still plenty of time before the season begins, with the first preseason game schedule for August 10 in Cincinnati against the Bengals. Fans still have time to get tickets to catch the Vikings in action all season long. Prices start at $13.
… more
The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers on January 3, ending their regular season with a three game winning streak. Adrian Peterson had a rushing touchdown and a total of 19 carries for 67 yards. Captain Munnerlyn also helped the team by returning a fumble for 55 yards to score. Teddy Bridgewater completed 10 of 19 passes for a total of 99 yards. With the win, the Vikings ended the season with an 11-5 record and took the NFC North title, the first time the franchise has had one since 2009. They Vikings next play in the wild-card playoff game on January 10 at home. You can still get tickets for prices starting at $40.
12/30/15 - The Minnesota Vikings should be pleased with how the last two weeks have gone. The team scored 30 or more points in both games and they are looking the best they have all season. On December 27, the Vikings took on the New York Giants for a game that was expected to be close. However, thanks to Eli Manning throwing numerous interceptions and struggling no matter where he threw the ball, the Vikings were able to take home the 49-17 victory. Watch the Vikings play live again for their final regulation game on January 3 against the Green Bay Packers. A lot is on the line for both teams, so don't miss your chance to catch an exciting game.
12/25/15 - This long series of home games did not turn out how the Minnesota Vikings had hoped it would. They do still have a chance at playing in the postseason, but their losses in the first two matches, against the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals, may cost them this spot. The good news is that the Vikings beat out the Chicago Bears on December 20th with a final score of 17-38. The Vikings will face the New York Giants, then hit the road for their final match of the season, which means this game will be your last chance to see the Vikings in action in the regular season. Tickets for the December 27th matchup start at $42.
12/16/15 - The Minnesota Vikings had a strong ending to the month of October, which flowed over into the first couple of weeks in November. The team was able to bring home five wins in a row, to boost their overall record. Unfortunately, the team hasn't been able to stay on the winning train after being beat by the Green Bay Packers on November 22. Last week against the Arizona Cardinals, the two teams were neck and neck during most of the game. It all came down to the fourth and final quarter when the Cardinals successfully held off the Vikings for a 23-20 win. See the Vikings play live again on December 20 against the Chicago Bears.
12/9/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have, unfortunately, lost their last two matchups, most recently against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite the Cardinals being one of the top teams in the league, the Vikings came within three points of beating them. With the Vikings earning four more points than their opponents in the last quarter, the final score came to 20-23. Unfortunately, these few losses have cost the Vikings their position as the top team in the NFC Northern Division. However, they are tied for wins and losses with the Green Bay Packers, who are the new leaders. The Vikings may manage to reclaim their title as the division leader yet. It all comes down to the four remaining matches.
12/2/15 - Last week, the Minnesota Vikings ended their five-game winning streak, but they are back this week and dominated the field once again. Despite playing a talented team in an away game, the Vikings managed to score more than double what the Atlanta Falcons did during November 29th's match. The final score was 20-10. With this win, the Vikings have a season record of 8-3 and have further cemented their position at the top of their division. They are now heading back to Minnesota to have the first of their three remaining home games. They will be hosting the Seattle Seahawks, which means this will be an exciting game. Tickets start as low as $47.
11/25/15 - The momentum came grinding to a halt for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, as they ran into the wall known as the Green Bay Packers. Teddy Bridgewater continued his development into what many people expect will be a legitimate superstar QB. He complete 25 of 37 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown, leading scoring drives in the first and third. The decision pulls GB even with Minny for the division lead in the NFC North and with six games remaining on the season slate, it's anyone's guess how things will shake out. The Vikes head to Atlanta this weekend to take on the Falcons—get your seats starting at just $21!
11/18/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have added one more win to their recent winning streak. They faced the Oakland Raiders in an away game on November 15th and the Vikings shut them out in three of four quarters. They are heading back to Minnesota to host the Green Bay Packers on November 22nd, which will be the first of only four remaining home games this year. If you are still hoping to catch the Vikings in action, be sure to get your tickets today. You can secure your spot in the stands of November 22nd's match for $146. Afterward, your next opportunity to see them live will be December 6th when they host the Atlanta Falcons.
11/11/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have had a very exciting start to the 2015-2016 season. Right now, the Vikings are happily sitting in first place with the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North division. Both teams have won six times and lost twice, so they will be fighting tooth and nail for the coveted number one spot. The Vikings have won their last five games in a row and seem to be the team to beat. This week the Vikings are hitting the road to face off against the Oakland Raiders in California. They play on November 15 for a nice afternoon football game. Don't miss your chance to catch them live.
11/4/15 - NFC North rivals squared off this past weekend when the Minnesota Vikings bested the Chicago Bears on the road, lifting Minny to a 5-2 season record. The Vikes gained some ground on the division-leading Packers with the victory, setting up an exciting late-November matchup between the two teams. Minnesota will have to contend with Oakland and St. Louis before that date, and who knows—maybe Green Bay will be the team entering that game looking to get out of second place. One thing's for sure: you'll need to act fast to score tickets for this weekend's Rams vs. Vikings matchup. Tickets are on sale now starting at just $31 each!
10/28/15 - Playing in the same division as Green Bay isn't ideal when Aaron Rodgers is feeling healthy, but the Minnesota Vikings are anything but intimidated. They put together consecutive wins over the past two weeks, knocking off the Chiefs and Lions back-to-back in improving their season mark to 4-2. Their .667 winning percentage would be enough for first place if not for the Pack, but Minny is using the motivation to their advantage. They'll do everything they can to build on the momentum when they pay a visit to Chicago's Soldier Field this weekend to face the Bears. Seats are still available if you act quickly, with ticket prices starting at $81!
10/21/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have earned their third victory of the season, which brings their record to 3-2. It was on October 18th when the Vikings hosted the Kansas City Chiefs. They did not score an incredible number of points in any one period, but the Vikings really stood out in defense. They managed to shut the Chiefs out in the first three quarters to bring the final score to 16-10. Hopefully the Vikings will maintain this momentum on the road as they travel to face the Detroit Lions. After back to back away matches, the Vikings will be back in Minnesota on November 8th to host the St. Louis Rams.
10/15/15 - Chances to secure your spot in the stands for this weekend's Minnesota Vikings game are running out. It is nearly time for the Vikings to take their own field again for the first time in October. The Vikings took a break last week, so if you have been itching to see them in action again, you will not want to miss this opportunity. Tickets are still available for $75, but that will be changing very soon as the final tickets are snatched up. Be sure to gets yours today for what is sure to be an exciting matchup this weekend as the Vikings prepare to host the Kansas City Chiefs. br/>
10/7/15 - The Minnesota Vikings are now four games into their season, and they have won half of the matches. So far, they have only won games on their own field, so it seems they are struggling slightly when they do not have the home field advantage. Luckily, they are heading back to Minnesota for their next match. On October 18th, the Vikings will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. After that, their next two games will be away matches, so be sure to take this opportunity to catch them in action. Tickets are still available and start for as little as $71. It is sure to be an exciting game, so come out and show your support.
9/30/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have won their second game in a row this season. They beat the Chargers 31-14 on September 27. Adrian Peterson was impressive, rushing for 126 yards in 20 rushes that included two touchdowns. Chad Greenway also helped out the team when he had a 91-yard interception return. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had 13 of 24 passes completed for a total of 121 yards passing. Xavier Rhodes sat out for the second half due to a concussion after colliding with safety Andrew Sendejo, but coach Mike Zimmer is optimistic he will be back on the field for their next game. The Vikings next head to Denver to play the Broncos on the 4th. Tickets remain available, with prices starting at $34.
9/23/15 - The Minnesota Vikings had a rough loss last week, but it seems all they really needed to come back was to play on their own field. They hosted the Detroit Lions on September 20th, and with their fans behind them, the Vikings managed to rack up a 10-point lead, shut the Lions out in two different quarters, and finish strong with 16-26. The Vikings have one more home game ahead of them before they hit the road again, so now that you know what their matchups look like with the home field advantage, be sure to come out and show your support. They will be taking on the San Diego Chargers this time. Tickets for the September 27th game are still available starting at just $44.
9/16/15 - With no answer for Carlos Hyde and San Francisco's ground attack, the Minnesota Vikings came up short in their inaugural outing for 2015. The Niners prevailed by a score of 20-3 behind 168 yards rushing and a pair of TDs from Hyde, taking their home opener at Levi's Stadium. Minny didn't see the Adrian Peterson they were accustomed to in their season intro, as the Pro-Bowl RB collected just 31 yards on 10 carries. Second-year QB Teddy Bridgewater looked rather crisp on the field, completing 23 of 32 attempts for 231 total yards. His late interception was the only flaw in an otherwise promising performance. Next up on the schedule for the Vikings, it's home games against Detroit followed by the Chargers. Get tickets for each, on sale now from $43 and up!
9/9/15 - As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for their opener on Monday, September 14, they will have to do it without John Sullivan. Unfortunately, this strong center will be out for a few months after having to undergo spinal surgery. He is listed on the injured reserve with a designation to return list, but it will still be Week 9 before he will be healthy enough to play. In other news, the Vikings ensured that wide receiver Jarius Wright isn't going anywhere by agreeing to a four-year contract extensions. The deal is supposedly worth $14.8 million, with $7 million of that guaranteed money. This means he will be part of the team through 2019. You can still get tickets to see the Vikings play the 49ers in San Francisco, with prices starting at $52.
9/3/15 - Only a 24-17 loss could derail the Minnesota Vikings in the 2015 NFL preseason, a defeat suffered at the hands of the Tennessee Titans on the road Thursday night. Minny bested the Steelers, Bucs, Raiders and Cowboys en route to a 4-1 warm-up month before they kick off regular season competition September 14th. The Vikes will open their year on the road, as they tangle with the embattled San Francisco 49ers in a game that's brimming with intrigue for a Week 1 matchup between teams that missed the playoffs the season before. Seats are on sale today for Levis Stadium in Santa Clara! Claim your tickets for Vikings vs. Niners on Monday 9/14 starting at $94 and experience the unique excitement of opening day NFL football!
8/27/15 - Harsh weather is no match for the Minnesota Vikings—and evidently, neither are the Oakland Raiders. Following an hour-long delay brought on by a second-quarter lightning storm, the Vikings bounced back from a 6-0 deficit, marching on to a 20-12 win to jump to 3-0 in the preseason. Second-year QB Teddy Bridgewater hit Charles Johnson with a fluid 10-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring for Minny. Shaun Hill followed it up with a TD pass of his own in the final seconds of the half, hitting Chase Ford to give the Vikes a 13-9 edge. Minnesota wraps up their preseason warm-up games in Tennessee on 9/3, and you can grab your tickets today! Claim your seats at Nissan Stadium starting at just $5 each!
8/20/15 - There have been some changes to the Minnesota Vikings' lineup this week after their victory over Tampa Bay in their first preseason game last weekend. During the game, starting right tackle Phil Loadholt injured his Achilles tendon, so the franchise moved him to the injured reserve list. Loadholt had to end his season early last year due to a torn pec, but worked his way back to the starting position. The Vikings will have to make some adjustments to their starting lineup to replace him. To take his place in the roster, the Vikings have signed tackle Stephen Goodin. Saturday, August 22, the Vikings host the Oakland Raiders for the final preseason game. You can still get tickets to see the teams play in person, with ticket prices starting at $12.
8/7/15 - Legendary Minnesota Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this past weekend, introduced by his longtime friend and quarterback Fran Tarkenton. At Tingelhoff's request, Tarkenton provided a speech on his behalf, giving a warm welcome to a man who was famous for starting in 240 straight games without missing a single practice during his 17 years with Minnesota. The speech and induction drew a thunderous ovation from the audience, including Mick and his wife Phyllis, both who'd waited many years for the moment to finally arrive. Today's Vikings, meanwhile, are gearing up for the start of the 2015 season. Preseason game tickets are on sale now, including the 8/15 home opener versus Tampa Bay. Get your tickets now starting at just $4 each!
7/29/15 - The Minnesota Vikings started their training camp this last week. By all accounts, MVP Adrian Peterson is playing as well as ever. He certainly seems to be one of the Vikings' best players that may carry the team. The rest of the Vikings are a little rusty, but that is to be expected when returning to the field after the offseason. They still have time to prepare, but the season is quickly approaching. The first couple preseason games will begin in just about two weeks and the Vikings are lucky enough to start with a home game. They will be hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 15th. You can still secure your spot in the stands to be there when it all starts. Tickets are available for $4.
7/14/15 - As the NFL offseason comes to a close, each team is being looked at and analyzed to see who will be in their starting lineup. The Minnesota Vikings are no exception to the scrutiny. They have one of the most talented running backs in the league, Adrian Peterson. However, with his mishap off of the field in 2014, the Vikings struggled offensively without the star player. Peterson is going to be starting again this season, but the Vikings want to ensure they have a solid backup because each year they have needed one. Names that have been talked about for Peterson's backup are McKinnon, Asiata, and possibly Banyard. Watch the Vikings live when they take on Tampa Bay on August 15. Tickets are still available starting at an affordable $4 a piece.
7/1/15 - With Training Camp just around the corner, the Minnesota Vikings still have some potential open spaces in their roster. Last month, they released Taylor Mays, which leaves them with only one solid safety: Harrison Smith. There are several candidates, including Robert Blanton, Antone Exum, Anthony Harris, and Andrew Sendejo. However, they may look to bring someone in, such as George Wilson and Bernard Pollard. One person likely to make the official roster is Brian Peters, who was once a safety but now plays in the linebacker position. With several injuries in the linebacker position and good work from Peters during the OTAs, he may just make the cut. While the coaches figure out the roster and prepare for Training Camp, fans can go ahead and get tickets for the 2015 season, with prices starting at $5.
6/16/15 - The Minnesota Vikings have made some changes to their roster this week. After only three months, the Vikings have released Taylor Mays, who may still have a chance to play in the NFL with the Bengals or Redskins. The Vikings may also consider the recently released Evan Mathis, but they most likely will pass due to the high cost of signing him. In other news, the anticipated new stadium which will be ready for the 2016 season now has a name: U.S. Bank Stadium. The team signed a 20-year exclusive naming rights agreement with U.S. Bank. The 2015 season will still take place in the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium, and tickets for all games are now available. The home opener is against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on August 15, with prices starting at $4.
6/3/15 - An old face returned to the Minnesota Vikings during this week's OTA voluntary practice: Adrian Peterson. He missed nine months, including the final 15 games of last season, due to child abuse charges. The relationship between him and the team has not been smooth since the allegations began, but Peterson was well received at the practice. In other news from the OTA, it looks as though the Vikings will have some decent speed with way receiver Charles Johnson and the rest of the receivers. The team may also be moving Brandon Fusco from right to left guard. The team also experienced its first indoor practice due to inclement weather. The first game for the Vikings will be the NFL Hall of Fame Game against the Steelers on August 9. Tickets are available, starting at $147.
5/19/15 - The Minnesota Vikings are getting ready to start their 55th season as a franchise under coach Mike Zimmer, who has only been with the Vikings for one season. They are looking to make it into post season play, unlike last year. One of the year's biggest excitements for the organization is the acquisition of tight end MyCole Pruitt, who they picked up in the fifth round of the draft. Pruitt has definitely shown up during the Vikings mini-camps and already has a lot of offensive responsibility. He clocked in at 4.58 seconds for the 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical jump and has a lot of athletic characteristics that the Vikings need on the field. See them live on August 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Get tickets now starting at $3 a piece.
5/7/15 - With the 2015 NFL draft over, experts have weighed in on the team's picks and placed the Minnesota Vikings' at the top of the class. For example, Jamie Newberg from Scout.com gave the team the only A- for the draft due to the team filling their needs and picking players with a lot of potential. The Vikings picked up 10 players during the draft, choosing several players who can play well in multiple positions. They also picked up Trae Waynes, who will probably just stick to left cornerback. In addition to the rookie additions to the team, the Vikings have also recently exercised the fifth-year options on contracts for Matt Kalil and Harrison Smith. As the team works during the offseason, fans can already buy tickets for games, with prices as low as $6.
4/23/15 - New head coach Mike Zimmer will be tasked with turning around a Minnesota Vikings team that finished with a 7-9 record in 2014, as the squad looks to return to the playoffs for the first time losing to the Packers in the 2012 Wild Card Game. It won't be an easy road at the beginning, as the Vikings open the upcoming season on the road in San Francisco where they will take on Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers. They'll tangle with the Lions and Chargers in Weeks 3 and 4 respectively, both in Minnesota, before taking to the road for a clash with the Broncos at Mile High Stadium in Denver. Get your tickets for all of the live excitement of NFL action—2015 games are on sale now!
2014-2015 Season
12/25/14 - The Minnesota Vikings host the Chicago Bears in the final game of the NFL regular playing season. While neither one has a chance to make the playoffs, fans understand the importance of the game between these two rivals. Since 1971, Chicago and Minnesota have been battling on the field, with the Vikings taking the first game. The home team generally wins, but not always. Many games between the two have been thrillers with wide point swings and overtime games. You never know what to expect when these two teams take the field together. Enjoy some great football when you come out to Sunday's game. Tickets start at just $15, so it's easy to get a group together to have a great afternoon without the phone or computer, just cheering for your favorite team over beer and your favorite stadium food.
12/17/14 - Following a heartbreaking 14-16 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to regain their traction as they face the Miami Dolphins this week. The loss to the Lions was a close one at 14-16, but Minnesota seems to thrive on close games. If they find themselves in a similar situation with the Dolphins this week, they're likely to come out on top. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has improved immensely since the beginning of the season, limiting his interceptions and increasing his touchdown passes, and tight end Kyle Rudolph has been racking up both the receiving yards and receptions. With the Ravens on a two-game winning streak, the Vikings will need to be on top of their game. See the match in person, with tickets still available starting at just $26.
12/12/14 - The third best team right now in the NFC North division is the Minnesota Vikings, sporting a 6-7 record. Their last game against the New York Jets went according to plan, and they ended up winning with a final score of 30-24 in overtime. In their clutch win, Teddy Bridgewater went on to throw for 309 yards and tacked on 2 touchdowns. He was also dynamic scrambling the ball, something he's been very successful at doing this season. They will need him to continue efforts like this if the Vikings want to end their season on a good note. Their next game is against the Detroit Lions, which is a great game on paper. They will need to contain Mathew Stafford if they want to come away with the win. Tickets can be bought right now for $46.
12/3/14 - The Minnesota Vikings lost 24-21 to the Green Bay Packers on November 23, but bounced back to easily defeat the Carolina Panther this past Sunday, 31-13. Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw two touchdown passes and had no turnovers, and Minnesota's special teams came up big with two blocked punts that were returned for touchdowns, the first time in 24 years one team had two in the same game. With four games to go, 5-7 Minnesota faces long odds in their quest to make the playoffs this season, but aren't out of it yet. They host the New York Jets this Sunday, December 7, and are at home for the final game of the regular season on December 28, as the Chicago Bears come to town. Tickets start at an amazing $6-come out and support your Minnesota Vikings!
11/24/14 - Playing the Green Bay Packers at home this Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings are aiming for an eye-opening upset of the Green and Gold. Running back Jerick McKinnon has been the primary carrier for the Vikings, and with the recent addition of RB Ben Tate just this week, Minnesota is hoping to reconfigure their running game and put more points on the board when they take on Green Bay. Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has exceeded expectations with his ability to limit turnovers and extend plays, and the Viking defense, with standouts such as safety Harrison Smith and outside linebacker Anthony Barr, should prove to be daunting foes for the Packers. Tickets are still available to witness the NFC North rivals meet this Sunday, with seats starting at $55.
11/20/14 - The Minnesota Vikings host the Green Bay Packers in the upcoming game. It's a rematch between the teams in this current season, and the Vikings want to even up the score by taking the win. The Vikings-Packers rivalry is said to be one of the most intense rivalries in the NFL. You won't want to miss this fierce game. The Vikings are fourth in the NFC North, at 4-6, and the Packers are tied with the Lions for 1st. Vikings' linebacker Anthony Barr is one of the most impressive rookies this season, with 58 tackles to date, 4 sacks, and 3 fumble recoveries. He's in line to earn the defensive rookie of the year title, if he keeps up with his current play. He's the one to watch when you come out to the game.
11/12/14 - On Sunday, Nov 16, the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are ranked 3rd in the NFC Northern Division with a 4-5 record at the halfway point in the season. Anthony Barr, a linebacker for the Vikings has the potential to be a frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Vikings are number 2 in the league with 3.3 sacks per game. Minnesota is the favorite to win the game against the Bears, even though the Vikings haven't won against them since 2007, when Adrian Peterson was a rookie with 224 yards on the ground. The Vikings are waiting to see if Peterson will return to their team. With Minnesota on a 2-game winning streak, they have the momentum to beat the Bears. Don't wait to get the best tickets for this game!
11/5/14 - The Minnesota Vikings rank third in the NFC Northern Division as they go into their bye week. They've won their last two games; the most recent against the Washington Redskins. Teddy Bridgewater, the Vikings quarterback, completed 26 or 42 passes for 268 yards without a turnover. The Vikings take this week off, then on November 16, they face the Chicago Bears on Soldier Field in Chicago, IL. This is a long standing NFL rivalry dating back to 1961 when they first met and the Vikings won in their first season in the NFL. Over the years the home team generally has the advantage, so the Bears may take this game but their games often have a thriller aspect with crazy plays and score swings in the final moments.
10/28/14 - After sneaking past Tampa Bay in overtime last weekend, the Minnesota Vikings will square off against another struggling squad this weekend. However, Washington will come to town with a big win under their belt.
10/23/14 - They've lost three straight since the end of September, but the Minnesota Vikings remain optimistic after a last second loss on the road in Buffalo. The Vikes will take to the road again this weekend, traveling to one-win Tampa Bay.
10/10/14 - If Christian Ponder and the off-the-field controversy-stricken Minnesota Vikings were to review last week's game in its entirety, they'd likely conclude that there's really nowhere to go but up. And that's exactly what the team intends to do when they take on Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions in front of a home crowd this weekend at Minneapolis TCF Stadium.
If the team has proved anything thus far this season, it's that they shouldn't be counted out, no matter how fierce an opponent they face. Last week's loss was largely a fluke, and should be easily overlooked. The road to redemption starts this weekend on their home turf, and true Vikings fans are rejoicing that their favorite team is still far, far away from being out of this race.
9/16/14 - The Minnesota Vikings have managed a 1-1 record to start out the year, amid snowballing controversy off the field. Adrian Peterson was initially suspended indefinitely following indictment by a grand jury on charges of child abuse, but has now been reinstated and could very well suit up for the Vikes Week 3 matchup against the faltering New Orleans Saints. The readmission of the franchise's start running back will surely have an immediate impact this Sunday when the team faces yet another elite gun-slinger, Drew Brees. Buy Minnesota Vikings tickets for a minimum of $69 add see how this team bounces back from last week's home loss.
9/9/14 - The Minnesota Vikings embarrassed the St. Louis Rams on opening day, executing a 34-6 victory, thanks to their run game. Wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson became the first Viking to rush for 100 yards in a game that also started Adrian Peterson, so the future looks bright for this franchise. Minnesota is undefeated—including preseason games—does this mean Tom Brady must get used to losing? The Vikes will host the New England Patriots this Sunday, in one of the hottest match ups of Week 2. But Minnesota Vikings tickets for a minimum of $74 on 9/14 and see if Zimmer and Co. can continue their winning momentum!
9/3/14 - Are you ready to kick off the Mike Zimmer era of Minnesota Vikings football this Sunday? The Vikes renewed offense will be tested early when they face a formidable Rams defense on home turf in the Edward Jones Dome. With the Rams starting QB Sam Bradford out, however, Minnesota has a prime opportunity to work out summer kinks and start their season off on the right foot—err, cleat. Not to mention, Adrian Peterson sat out of all preseason games this year, so Sunday is the first time Minnesota will unleash his wrath on the gridiron. Buy your Minnesota Vikings tickets for a super affordable $12 minimum on 9/7.
8/27/14 - The Minnesota Vikings are one of four undefeated teams entering the fourth and final week of preseason. This is especially impressive, as all games thus far have yet to feature Adrian Peterson, who recently stated, "this is the offense I've been waiting for." Minnesota's most recent 30-12 road victory over Kansas City saw starting QB Matt Cassel throw for 153 yards, including a 59-yard TD pass to Cordarelle Patterson, before rookie backup Teddy Bridgewater finished with two TD passes to Allen Reisner. These equally admirable performances leave Vikes fans optimistic for the first time in a long time about their QB position. Bridgewater is slated to start in tomorrow's game at Tennessee against the Titans, buy your Minnesota Vikings tickets now and see how the rookie fares on the road!
8/12/14 – The Minnesota Vikings debuted both quarterbacks in their preseason opener against the Oakland Raiders. Cassel started on the day, and played for one drive, before handing the ball off to Teddy Bridgewater. The rookie struggled in his first game outing, completing just 6 of 13 passes, and may have the opportunity to rebound in Weeks 3 or 4 of the preseason. For now, Matt Cassel is ahead in the race to start under center, and Zimmer will play him in the second exhibition game of the year when the Vikes square off against Arizona. Buy Minnesota Vikings tickets and watch your team at TCF Bank Stadium for as little as $9 this Saturday (Aug. 16).
8/5/14 – The Minnesota Vikings added veteran player Chris Cocker to the roster, who enters familiar territory with new coach Mike Zimmer. The experienced safety played under Zimmer while he was defensive coordinator in both Atlanta and Cincinnati and is expected to impart wisdom on younger contenders and aid the head coach in clarifying the 20-plus players on the hunt for a starting slot in the secondary. The front office cleared things up for Kyle Rudolph when the 2012 Pro Bowl MVP was awarded a five-year extension worth up to $40 million. Lock in Minnesota Vikings tickets for their Week 1 preseason game against Oakland and see if you can sort out the secondary yourself! Get into this Friday's first exhibition game at TCF Bank Stadium for as little a $4.
7/29/14 – Now that training camp has opened for the Minnesota Vikings, players can focus on football instead of drama off the field. That's not to say there isn't a fare share of drama on the gridiron, of course. The Vikes are liable the only team with the possibility of starting a rookie under center, as opposed to last year, which saw Geno Smith, EJ Manuel, Mike Glennon rushed onto the field. Teddy Bridgewater and Matt Cassel are splitting reps during training camp, so the two quarterbacks have an equal shot at landing the 2014 first-string job in Minnesota. Will Bridgewater impress enough to be a Week 1 starter? Score Minnesota Vikings tickets now and find out yourself!
7/22/14 – The Minnesota Vikings have released findings from the Kluwe investigation, which reveals the homophobic remarks made by assistant coach Mike Priefer. The Vikings announced Friday that Priefer will be suspended for three regular season games in 2014, and that a donation of $100,000 will be made to LGBT organizations. The Minnesota Vikings will band together on the practice field to muster through this controversy and focus on an intense training camp. New head coach Mike Zimmer is known across the league for his tough no-fuss instruction. The team will begin this Friday and the first preseason game will be here before you know it. Lockdown Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings tickets for Aug 8 and see all the hard work in training camp pay off on the gridiron.
7/15/14 – Other than Adrian Peterson's not-so-surprising top ranking in the NFL Top 100 for running backs, good news was in short supply for the Minnesota Vikings last week. You can buy Minnesota Vikings tickets to see AP storm the field, but another Vikes player is storming into the courtroom. Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe intends on suing the team for withholding results of an investigation into his treatment after he expressed support for gay marriage. The team allegedly treated Kluwe unfairly, in particular, anti-gay comments from a special teams coach, which ultimately led to his release in 2012. The punter hopes part of his settlement would support LGBT Rights charities.
7/9/14 – When it comes to the Minnesota Vikings this offseason, the concern typically falls under center. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner recently praised his quarterback squad made up of Matt Cassel, Teddy Bridgewater and Christian Ponder, but what about questions on the other side of the ball—namely the porous secondary? The Vikings' starting cornerbacks allowed enemy passer ratings in the plus-100s, but with the departure of Chris Cook, the doorway is left open for second year pass defender Xavier Rhodes to step up. Rhodes has monstrous potential to become the next shutdown corner; the only concern lies in his health, as he missed three games last season. Score Minnesota Vikings tickets and see how the team handles their very first preseason match of the year: pay a mere $4 to watch them take on the Oakland Raiders, Aug 8 at TCF Band Stadium.
7/1/14 – The Minnesota Vikings are getting ready to unleash their much anticipated youth task force in the upcoming season, and they'll need those crucial training camp weeks to fine tune their skills. After two years of great drafts, keep an eye on Xavier Rhodes, Sharrif Floyd and Anthony Barr in their starting roles this year. Score Minnesota Vikings tickets and see if anyone will be able to stop this youthful and speedy squad on the gridiron this season!
6/24/14 – Throughout the offseason, first year Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has repeated open competition is at the foundation of his principles, but he had a few more rules to relay the team at the close of offseason. As the squad breaks for summer, Zimmer expects his players to "be professionals," to realize "this isn't a sixth-month-a-year job" and aptly prepare themselves for a grueling conditioning test upon returning. In exactly one month the Vikes will snap out of their summer haze and hit the field for Zimmer's intense training camp. Get your Minnesota Vikings tickets now and see who used spent their summer time wisely!
6/17/14 – With summer just around the corner, the Minnesota Vikings kicked off their three-day mandatory minicamps. This is the teams' final and most important set of practices before the close of offseason, so look forward to the quarterback picture clearing up with each day. Christian Ponder related that Teddy Bridgewater has been taking far more team reps than he has, and may well be the No. 2 signal caller behind Matt Cassel. Anthony Barr, the Vikings' top selection, will finally get to practice with the veterans following his graduation from UCLA on Saturday, along with other late-starting rookies Scott Crichton and David Yankey. Get your Minnesota Vikings tickets now to see which contender will be under center come August!
6/10/14- Pay attention to preseason Minnesota Vikings fans, because this team has a ton of roster battles and open slots to fill. Chief among these is the quarterback position: rookie Teddy Bridgewater was undoubtedly the most impressive QB on the field during the last round of OTAs, but while some project him under center on Opening Day, it's more plausible that one of two veterans will precede him. Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder, who have spent the majority of the offseason practicing with the offense, are at the top of the food chain heading into summer training camp, and Bridgewater says he's okay backing them up. Stay tuned and lock in your Minnesota Vikings tickets to see which of their three options will be under center during preseason!
6/3/14 - After hiring defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer as head coach, using their ninth overall pick on linebacker Antony Barr and spending the majority of free-agent money on defensive players, it's pretty clear which side of the ball the Minnesota Vikings are focusing on this offseason. Now that free agents signed after June 1 do not affect the draft pick formula, the Vikes can sign a veteran off market and solve the final piece in their defensive puzzle: Minnesota's troublesome secondary. See if these major defensive moves pay off with 2014 Minnesota Vikings tickets!
5/28/14 - Now that the Minnesota Vikings' full-team OTAs have begun, the quarterback battle can officially start! First round pick Teddy Bridgewater will take on veterans Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder during practice this spring for a shot under center. Ultimately the decision is up to celebrated offensive coordinator Norv Turner whether or not the rookie will serve as Cassel's successor this year. Get Minnesota Vikings tickets and see the chosen one debut in summer 2014!
5/19/14 - Prior to the start of rookie minicamp this weekend, the Minnesota Vikings got a jump-start on some prospects. The organization singed David Yankey, Kendall James and Jabari Price to four-year contracts. In the latest signing news, new Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer announced Illinois State's Mike Zimmer (no relation) will join the squad as linebacker; he'll be trained by linebacker coach Adam Zimmer (son of HC), as if things could get any more confusing. Minnesota got a closer look at their second pick, Teddy Bridgewater, during this past weekend's rookie minicamp. The QB prospect will compete with Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder for the starting position, though it is likely the youngster will need some maturity before being thrust into the NFL spotlight as first-stringer. Get your Minnesota Vikings tickets now to see if these offseason efforts come full circle!
5/13/14- He may have stumbled in the pre-draft process, but Teddy Bridgewater is arguably the most pro-ready QB in the 2014 Draft. The Minnesota Vikings selected the Louisville player as the final pick in the first round, at No. 32 overall. With the legendary Adrian Peterson running and adept receivers (Jennings, Patterson, Rudolph) on offense, many believe Bridgewater will outperform his stock. The Vikings also bolstered their defense by plucking athletic OLB Anthony Barr (No. 9 overall), DE Scott Crichton and secondary players Antone Exum and Kendall James in later rounds. The NFC North contenders were universally acclaimed for the 2014 NFL Draft haul, lock in Minnesota Vikings tickets today and see the revamped squad in person!
4/17/14 - The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their preseason at home, with two games at TCF Bank Stadium; after all, the Metrodome is officially kaput, with demolition of their former stadium being complete a month ahead of schedule. Week 1 brings the Oakland Raiders into town, while Week 2 will see a visit from the Arizona Cardinals. The second half of exhibition games will take place on the road, first with a trip to Kansas City, followed by a preseason finale at Tennessee. Though Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder are still in the mix, it's evident that the Vikings need to draft a quarterback come May 8. Stay tuned to see what new head coach Mike Zimmer has in store!
Despite moving to an outdoor stadium at TCF Bank Stadium, the NFL did not schedule Minnesota very many home games to start the season. In fact, four of their last six will be played at home in what we predict to be very cold temperatures. Remember Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomingdale? But, if you're a die-hard, you'll come through stuntin with Minnesota Vikings tickets to support your team! The most in-demand game of the season will be played Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers (avg. $236), the first of three consecutive homes games and the 109th contest in series history. The next most expensive game on the Minnesota Vikings schedule is the regular-season closer at home against the Bears, a rematch of the first NFL game played at TCF Bank Stadium following the collapse of the Metrodome roof in 2010. December 28 also marks the return of Jared Allen to Minnesota. Vikings tickets are fourth cheapest in the NFL averaging $181 (up 7% over last year).
2013-2014 Season
2/12/14 – New offensive coordinator Norv Turner has big plans for Adrian Peterson after he returns from groin surgery. The RB missed two of the Vikings final three games last season due to the issue and a sprained foot, in addition to the Pro Bowl. Turner has also voiced the want for a young QB after Minnesota's last place finish in the NFC North behind Matt Cassell, Christian Ponder, and Josh Freeman. In 2013, the Minnesota Vikings did not win a single road game. In 2014, the Vikings need to rack up some away wins, as winning at home will be a more of a challenge. Minnesota will play the next two seasons outdoors at the University of Minnesota's TCF Bank Stadium while the team's new stadium is built at the Metrodome site.
12/16/13 - The Minnesota Vikings put the Philadelphia Eagles' postseason hopes in serious jeopardy, crushing them 48-30 on Sunday. The Vikes nailed an impressive at-home victory, even with the absence of their top two tight ends, top three corners, and running backs Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart. Matt Cassel stepped up and made 3 touchdowns for 382 yards (the most by a Viking's QB since the days of Brett Favre), while third stringer Matt Asiata rushed for 3 TDs (the first of his career) and Greg Jennings caught a career-high 11 passes. Minnesota Vikings tickets are just $15 to get in and see if they can topple the Cincinnati Bengals off the AFC North summit.
12/9/13 - The Minnesota Vikings fell to the Baltimore Ravens, 26-29, despite some nail-biting fourth quarter action on the snow-packed Sunday. Adrian Peterson, the NFL's leading rusher and lifeline of the team, was carted off the field with a foot injury in the second quarter—but don't worry Minnesota fans, the sidelined running back appears to have borne just a minor sprain. Next week, the Vikes are looking to set the Philadelphia Eagles tumbling, after yesterday's dramatic victory over Detroit gave them the NFC East lead. Minnesota Vikings tickets are just $24 to get into the Metrodome and away from the blistering cold in Week 15.
12/3/13- In a bench-gripping, back-and-forth game between NFC north foes, Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings, the Vikes won it in overtime, 23-20. The Vikings maximized on Chicago's weak rush defense (ranked last in the league), as Adrian Peterson carried the ball 35 times for a massive 211-yard day (that's over 100 yards in 4 straight games), making him the third quickest RB in history to break 10,000 yards. The running back also got the team in position for Blair Walsh to kick a 34-yard field goal to seal the OT win. Minnesota Vikings tickets feature one of the lowest starting prices of the week, at $28 and $152 on average when they travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens.
11/26/13 - The Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers finished Sunday's hard-fought game with the only ending that would suffice: a draw. Christian Ponder and Cordarrelle Patterson were working in tight cohesion and the Vikings defense did what they could to stop Matt Flynn who sparked the Packers, but neither division opponent could put up more points than field goals in overtime, and the NFC North situation is left stickier than before. The Vikings have the opportunity to pull themselves up in the division this week, pitted against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, so don't miss this pivotal match-up in the North! Minnesota Vikings tickets are $48 to bundle up and get in.
11/19/13- The Minnesota Vikings could not keep up with the dominating Seattle Seahawks and were routed, 20-41, in CenturyLink Field. After Sunday afternoon, the Vikings hold the second worst record in the league. Christian Ponder did little to inspire in his start, and the Vikings may be compelled to put Josh Freeman or Matt Cassel back in position. Minnesota has the opportunity win next week, when they face the Green Bay Packers and Scott Tolzien, not Aaron Rodgers, on Sunday. Minnesota Vikings tickets are $176 on average.
11/12/13 - The Minnesota Vikings will come off their long weekend with the memory of Thursday's inspired performance fresh on their minds. The Vikings defeated the Washington Redskins in Week 10, due to valorous performances by Christian Ponder (throwing 17 of 21 for 174 yards, 2 TDs and one interception) who left with a dislocated shoulder, and Adrian Peterson, who may be poised for a comeback after running 75 yards for 2 TDs. See what the boys can put up against the Seattle Seahawks in enemy territory in Week 11: Minnesota Viking tickets are a hot commodity, at $293 on average.
11/4/13 - The Minnesota Vikings were unable to overcome the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, losing 23-27. In a game that was closer than some anticipated, Tony Romo and Dwayne Harris stole the victory with 44 seconds left in the fourth quarter, for a game-winning touchdown drive. On the Vikings, Adrian Peterson was in beast mode, running for 140 yards on 25 carries, taking three defenders with him into the end zone, refusing to be stopped in the fourth quarter. Despite a valiant effort from Christian Ponder who threw for 236 yards, the Vikings now find themselves at 1-7, mimicking their worst start in franchise history. For Week 10, the Vikings will host the Washington Redskins hot off the heels of the victory over San Diego yesterday. Minnesota Vikings tickets are only $4 to get in, the cheapest price of the week!
10/28/13 - The Minnesota Vikings played a valiant game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but ultimately fell 44-31, extending their losing record to 1-6. The Vikings' Cordarrelle Patterson showed his worth as one of the best kickoff returners in the NFL, with a record setting 109-yard return for a touchdown—he is now tied with Percy Harvin for the most kickoff returns for a TD (2). Adrian Peterson attempted to pick up the offense, with his 8-yard touchdown run, but the defense was outmatched by Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy. Coach Frazier has yet to name a starter for Minnesota's upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, and at this point, the three options (Josh Freeman, Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel) present pretty grim pickins'. Minnesota Vikings tickets for this Sunday at AT&T Stadium are $236 on average.
10/22/13 - The Minnesota Vikings were unable to prolong Eli Manning's winless streak, and fell to the New York Giants 7-23 on Monday Night Football. Leslie Frazer made the erroneous decision to start Josh Freeman, after being acquired just two weeks ago, and essentially threw him to the wolves last night without ample enough time to learn a new playbook. This resulted in a free for all, and a pitiful picking apart of Freeman, who was clearly uncomfortable and out of sync with his team members, overshooting receivers and constantly getting rammed into the ground by the New York's pass rush, finishing with a meager 20 of 53 passes for 190 yards. Not even Adrian Peterson could pull Minnesota out of the wreckage, as he finished with a lowly atypical 28 yards rushing. The Vikings will head back home to face the Green Bay Packers next Sunday, hopefully with renewed vigor. Minnesota Vikings tickets at the Metrodome are one of the higher priced games of the week despite their poor MNF showing-everyone is clearly eager to see what they will do next- at $194 on average.
10/15/13 - Although the Minnesota Vikings were looking hopeful after their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in England, the team has sustained another demoralizing loss, this time, to the Carolina Panthers (10-35). It is clear that the Vikings have some restructuring to do in the quarterback position: Matt Cassel will conceivably become a backup QB after Sunday's costly 2-interception performance, and now former-starter Christian Ponder and newly acquired Josh Freeman will duke it out for the starting position. Adrian Peterson decided to play despite a heavy heart, just two days after the death of his two-year old son from an alleged beating, and the star running back was hounded by the Panthers, rushing just 62 yards, finishing with his second lowest number of the season. The Minnesota Vikings will have to reorganize themselves and gain some composure to insure an on-the-road victory in Week 7 over the eager New York Giants. Minnesota Vikings tickets in New York are $24 to get in and $177 on average.
10/8/13 - The Minnesota Vikings will be coming out of a bye week to host the Carolina Panthers next Sunday. The Vikings enjoyed their time off after attaining a must-win victory overseas against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the staff has also made some moves in the line up: Minnesota has now signed quarterback Josh Freeman from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a one-year $3 million deal. He is now in the mix with starter Christian Ponder, nursing sidelining rib injury, and backup QB Matt Cassel, who despite the recent acquirement, may still start hot off the heels of his victory over the Steelers, completing 16 of 25 throws and zero interceptions. With three quarterbacks to choose from, the Minnesota Vikings are desperate to turn their season around as they prepare to face a struggling Cam Newton and company. Minnesota Vikings tickets against the Carolina Panthers are moderately priced, averaging $208 and $33 to get in.
10/1/13 - The New York Giants are enduring a blistering season, with their most recent battering sustained in Kansas City, losing 7-31 to the Chiefs. They are amongst the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the three worst teams in the NFL, with a minus-85 scoring differential. The New York Giants have to come out swinging if they want to climb up from the bottom of the barrel, and there may yet be life in the team, who is averaged 4.7 yards per carry against the Chiefs and running back Jamaal Charles and receivers Dwayne Bowe and Donnie Avery combined 53 yards in the first half. They will get their chance in Week 5 against worthy opponents the Philadelphia Eagles in New Jersey. Despite their worst start to the season in 25 years, New York Giants tickets are still a hot commodity, with the third highest average ticket price of Week 5 at $375.
9/24/13 - The Vikings are not having a great start to the 2013 season. Even with the best running back in the league, Adrian Peterson, problems with the defense giving up 409 yards, and the three game suspension of fullback Jerome Felton have proven difficult for Minnesota to overcome. Quarterback Christian Ponder, was booed numerous times at home on Sunday, and went 25 for 42 passes for 228 yards, and was sacked six times against the Cleveland Browns. At this point, the 0-3 Minnesota Vikings are desperate for a win, as they have consecutively lost games due to last-minute touchdowns. The opportunity to pick their season up will be across the pond in London against the also 0-3, Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Vikings hope to build on last season's campaign that saw them earn an
NFL Playoffs
berth, but lose in the Wild Card rounds to the rival
Green Bay Packers
. After impressively returning from a torn ACL and falling just short of the NFL single season rushing record last season, Adrian Peterson has vowed to come back stronger in 2013. Peterson is joined in the backfield by quarterback Christian Ponder, who hopes to make strides in his third professional season. The Vikings will also expect major contributions from free agent acquisition and longtime Packer receiver Greg Jennings, who will replace the traded Percy Harvin. Vikings tickets this season at the
are averaging $155, 20th highest in the league and 28% under league average.
The Vikings' home opener comes in Week 3 against the
Cleveland Browns
. The average Browns vs. Vikings tickets price is $118, second-lowest of any Vikings home game this season, ahead of the
Carolina Panthers
in Week 6 at $117. The most expensive game at the Metrodome on the Minnesota Vikings schedule is the Week 8 showdown with the Packers, with an average Packers vs. Vikings tickets price of $219. Their game a month later in Week 12 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay is 62% more expensive. The Vikings also take a trip across the pond this season to play the
Pittsburgh Steelers
in London, England. The Week 4 game at Wembley stadium has an average price of $393.

Spring Valley LB Christian Miller picked up an offer from Alabama Wednesday, but if he's excited about, he's not saying. "I'm really not trying to speak about anything right now to be honest with you," Miller politely said. "Trying to worry about school and stuff right now and not really getting too far into all that honestly. I'm not really a big fan of this media stuff right now. I'd rather just have my own personal recruitment thing going on right now. I don't really need everyone knowing everything that's going on with me. I'd rather decide on my own without having everybody all in my stuff. I'm just going to keep everything positive for right now.
