TCO Performance Center ready for Minnesota Vikings to move in

The Minnesota Vikings are making the Twin Cities Orthopedic Performance Center their new hub for team operations and the Eagan facility is nearly ready.

With the new Minnesota Vikings headquarters and practice facility at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center in Eagan having finished construction, the team and their administration prepared to move into the new state-of-the-art building.

The time has come for the team to make the move into the building, and the Star Tribune recently shared the news that everything was getting packed up and ready to be shifted over to the new building.

The has plenty to move since Winter Park had previously been used for 37 years and had many offices and remote locations which will all be consolidated into one building.

Chad Lundeen, Vikings vice president of operations, spoke about how leaving their previous facility at Winter Park is bittersweet.

"“You have some pretty strong memories with the team in this building, but it’s going to be more fun to have everybody together,” said Lundeen."

While so many things were packed up and moved from the Vikings locker room at their previous facility, one thing stayed intact: the locker set up in honor of Korey Stringer. While that will eventually be removed from the facility, Stringer will be honored in “a more public location in the new building” according to team spokesman Jeff Anderson.

The days are counting down to the opening of the new league year on March 14, 2018, and the Minnesota Vikings will need to be sure to have everything to go by then. But by how well the transition is going, it seems the Twin Cities Orthopedic Performance Center will be ready much sooner rather than later.
