MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Vikings on Thursday announced plans to have 2021 training camp open to fans at TCO Performance Center in Eagan.
The Vikings will host a total of 14 practices at their Eagan facility open to the public, 10 that will be free for up to 4,000 fans and four other "premier practices" that will cost $10 per ticket.
The first Vikings training camp practice open to the public will be Wednesday, July 28. The Vikings will also host joint practices with the Denver Broncos Aug. 11-12, leading up to the two teams playing in a preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 14 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"Very fortunate to hear that news. I actually didn’t know that officially, but that’s good to hear. Obviously our fan base makes a major difference in wins and losses for us. Their energy for our team really carries us throughout, so we’re really blessed to have them back. It’s going to make a difference for us," Vikings offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said Thursday.
Camp will be open daily from noon to 5:30 p.m. with daily practices held from approximately 2-4:30 p.m. Here are the key dates, including the four premier practices.
