about the only way they get a sniff of it...
they'll **** it up just like they **** up everything they touch
It will be the worst SB production in history, everyone will hate it
Vikings Suck
Winning a Super Bowl.
Vikings Stadiums - 2
Vikings - 0
Effing losers.
I think they misspelled it though. Isn't it LVZR?
that's just too precious H5. I suppose when you can't win one this is as good as it gets.
Is it possible winning a Super Bowl in DallAss could be trumped by us winning one in Zygi's new home? 
That's cruel and abusive treatment of longtime diehard Viking fans.
I love it!
Mpls gets the '18 Super Bowl, because they have a modern stadium with climate control.
Only in WI would people brag about the fact they have a behind the times stadium that could never host the big game.
So there.
Modern? No. Climate controlled? Yes.
Sometimes I feel sorry for the Vikings. A group of us Packer fans should chip in to send the front office a trophy.
I felt pissed wen I heard this news initially. You guys made me feel better.
Been to a youth soccer game in the past 20 years?
*Edit
Bitter story. 1972. Milwaukee Kickers. Bantams (U-12) 17-0 going into our last game. Lost to the Milwaukee Bavarians on a last second goal (My fault? Maybe, maybe not)
2nd place.
Milwaukee Kickers banquet------bupkus.
As it should have been.
Life lesson.
Hope the new stadium has a nice place for a SB banner that reads, "Thanks for coming. See you in 25 years. Our next stadium will be our bestest yet and it might even be in Los Angeles!!!"
Effing losers.
The Bavarian Inn in Milwaukee had an outstanding Friday Night Fish Fry, or so I remember as a kid going with my parents and Grandma. Classic Milwaukee night out and lots of old people. I remember always peaking my head through the crack to the banquet hall which had a huge moose head hanging on the wall. Used to freak me out. Funny the stuff you remember growing up.

They had the banquet. You just weren't invited, Sieve.
Hateful.
Offseason Viking fans in full bloom (PFT posts)
Can you feel it?
Every piece is falling into place.
We are creating a dynasty in front of everyone’s eyes.
We officially have the best personnel and players on both sides of the ball.
We’ve officially drafted our franchise QB in Teddy Bridgewater who will be a top 5 QB next year – the historic Minnesota Vikings dynasty will officially begin.
We will be the first team to ever win a Super Bowl in our own stadium.
Jim Jones lives!

Did Grandma watch Lawrence Welk every week, too?
As a Milwaukee Kicker, our youth Coach Don Shemmeld (Englishman) would annually give us a pep talk in his Yorkshire accent...."We've gought to beat the Ba-va-rians."
We seldom did.
Au contraire.
Traveled to Sheffield England in 1974 as an undefeated hot-shot American soccer team.
Got throttled 7-nil in our first match (Sheffield Boys) and it was downhill from there.
Did attend both a United and a Wednesday match......will always have that going for me (as opposed to Goalline).
I wonder how many people could make sense of that last sentence.
Sheffield in the 1970s makes me think of the promotional movie at the beginning of The Full Monty.
Kinda was like that.
First morning had beans on toast for breakfast.
Then they gave us hot tea at half-time.
Wankers.
I liked playing for Milwaukee Sport Club better.
Jagermeister at half-time
It's always half-time somewhere in the world.

Not Marmite or Bovril?
I remember the first time my German relatives visited back in '85, it was the first time I'd ever gotten to try Nutella. Mmm.

I soiled myself. Fortunately, I wear black underwear.
On a day in Viking history in 2018, with the Vikings themselves in the stands, a new billion dollar stadium collapses at half time of a super bowl game. The headlines will read "Vikings buried by half time". Or people will marvel at how they built a stadium to match the team, noting that the stadium falls apart at the seems - like the team.

Don Shimmeld was also my youth soccer coach. Metro soccer U-12 ish. We were in Muskego in the early 80s. His son played on the major team for our club (Muskego Britannic) along with Dave Dray (sp) and a bunch of other former I want to say UWM players. It was cool because they were all the counselor s at the Medalist soccer camp that I went to at St. John's.
i believe that Don passed on a few years ago. His son coaches I believe my dad said. My dad has been a ref in the Milwaukee area for around 40 years And that's seen every player and coach in the area. I know he enjoyed coaching with Don. Bernie Vossler was another guy from that area. Coach and ref in the area.
my memories of Don Simmeld were he brought gum and gave each of us a stick before the start of every game, he would yell "GIVE IT A BOOT RONNIE" whenever I was about to kick the ball And he would bring oranges for us at halftime. Great guy. thanks BK
The way he used to say my name was not Ronnie in that nasal Wisconsin accent it was more like Roa-nay. We used to copy his accent endlessly. We had great fun. I seem to remember a lot of beer drinking going on with the coaches and major team.
