My Weekend In Minneapolis -- The Good and Bad

[Longboysfan]

Thank you for posting this - it was one of the best reads of the year.

You have brought great perspective to the game - not the I want to marry part though.

Looking forward to your continued posting as the draft comes.

Other than a little ribbing from the two ladies that took us up the tunnel I didn't hear a peep from one fan. The two ladies then apologized for what they said and I said no need. If the score was the other way around I would be doing the exact same thing. The Vikings fans anytime we have lost to them have never been mean about winning.

It broke my heart on my way out to see a little boy, maybe five all dressed in his Cowboys gear all the way down to his SHOES with his Viking loving family. He looked pretty bummed out and Ryan and I stopped and told him to cheer up, we'll get em next year and we gave him little knuckle punches. His fist I could compete with. LOL! Got a little smile out of him when I showed him my silver glitter sparkly shoes which are Converse so they have a STAR on them and his mom pointed out the star. He thought they were pretty darn cool!

I'll post pictures soon! A bunch on two cameras and I got some good shots.

Vikings fans sound like a class act. Their patience is going to be tested this weekend if they make the trip to New Orleans. Saints fans have never been known as hospitable to fans of the opposing team. It feels like Philly South down here if you're wearing a Cowboys jersey!!

Thanks for the great recap of the game.

I would agree with you that the Vikings fans are class act at the Dome. That's why I never hesitate to go to a game there. I know I am safe there even if it is the "hood". Those comments just made me LOL because I know how nice it actually is. It's really sad that a few bad fans will ruin pretty much the entire city based on how they act.

Even before I got to the game, getting out of my truck at the Mall of America a few Vikings fans were really impressed with my STAR grille on my truck.

I did see one guy in Packer hat with a Favre purple jersey and I was like isn't that like illegal in either state? :laugh2:

Thanks for posting this. Only comment: I could hear the Cowboys fans during the game from the television broadcast. Whenever we made a play there was definitely an audible clapping. Cowboys fans are everywhere.

I'm glad you could hear em on TV because they were definitely loud in the Dome. I posted that in my second post how Favre and company were trying to hush us down. I hope we are louder at the next game there this fall!

I wonder if there is a tally on how many Cowboys fans were at the Dome? Anyone know?
