On the same day that the trucks are heading down to Mankato with loads of equipment needed for Training Camp to start this weekend, the Minnesota Vikings have announced that this will be the team's last visit down 169 with the University of Minnesota State Mankato as the full-time host of the team's preseason training camp.
"We plan on hosting Training Camp 2018 at our new Performance Center in Eagan," Vikings Chief Operating Officer Kevin Warren said via conference call Tuesday morning.
For 52 years now Mankato has been the home of Vikings Training Camp but the development and looming opening of the team's new office and practice facility in Eagan, MN will move the team's training both in and out of season to one location in the Suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
