Following the most recent announcements from Governor Walz on pandemic guidance for the state, the Minnesota Vikings say they are looking to bring back a pre-pandemic level of fans to training camp in 2021.
The Vikings did not allow fans at their 2020 training camp, and the team did not sell tickets to fans for regular season home games during the 2020 season. They hope to see drastic changes to both of those for 2021.
Vikings executive vice president of public affairs Lester Bagley told the Pioneer Press they hope to "bring 4,000 to 5,000 people a day to training camp, which then leads into our preseason". That level of fans is similar to the number of people the Vikings welcomed to their 2019 training camp, when the team capped fan attendance to 5,000 total fans.
