4. Giants Stadium

Giants Stadium wasn’t always unkind to the Vikings, of course. They did win a playoff game there in 1997, in one of the great comebacks in team history (the TD to Jake Reed should not have counted but, whatever), and they did beat the Giants there twice in the regular season in the 2000s.

But the bad far outweighs the good when it comes to Vikings history at the former home of both the Giants and Jets. The Vikes overall were 5-7 there combined against the two home teams, including a pair of playoff losses to the Giants.

The 1993 playoff loss at Giants Stadium has faded into the fog of history, but the other playoff loss has not. The 2000 NFC championship game vs. Kerry Collins and the New York Giants will forever be a painful part of Vikings lore.

41-doughnut will never be forgotten so long as Viking fans walk the earth. The fact that the Giants cheated by stealing the Vikings’ signals will never be forgotten either. That game by itself is enough to earn Giants Stadium the #4 spot.

Thank goodness we never have to go there again.
