Thirteen open practices, people! That’s a serious amount of fan interaction and a real chance for their faithful to see the team coalesce. This summer marks the Vikings' 66th training camp, a long history, and for the ninth time, they’re setting up shop at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center. Talk about a familiar stomping ground to get ready for the season, right? The whole thing kicks off with "Back Together Saturday" on August 1st, and they're even pairing it with a full-blown "Legends Weekend." How cool is that?

And the ticket situation? It’s actually pretty sweet for their fans. Twelve of those thirteen practices are free for Vikings season-ticket members and any little Viking fans under 36 inches. For the slightly older kids, those 17 and under, it’s just five bucks a pop. Adults? A ten-spot to get in. But heads up, there’s one special night practice, on Sunday, August 9th, where tickets will be $15 for adults and $10 for kids under 17, still free for the super little ones. What’s even better? A portion of all those ticket sales is going straight to the Vikings Foundation. That’s a solid move, giving back to the community!
