Fans of the Minnesota Vikings will have the opportunity to pack U.S. Bank Stadium on Thursday, April 26, 2018 to celebrate day 1 of the NFL Draft.
The 2018 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching and fans are excited to see which of the top college prospects will be selected by the Minnesota Vikings and other teams in the first round on April 26, 2018.
The Vikings hold the #30 overall pick in the draft, meaning that the team will have the opportunity to choose a player near the end of the first round if they don’t trade up or down for another pick.
However. fans really excited for the event will have an opportunity to gather at U.S. Bank Stadium for the Miller Lite Draft Party, which was recently announced on the official Vikings website.
With general admission prices being $20, the stadium will likely be jam-packed with fans waiting to find out who will be joining the Vikings for the 2018 NFL season on a Thursday night.
A premium ticket for the Sleep Number Red Zone assures you a spot front and center of the stage, 2 Miller Lite products, free Pepsi products and tailgate snacks, early access to the Vikings Garage Sale, a private autograph session in the Vikings Locker Room, and a special gift. Those tickets cost $125.00.
Speaking of the Vikings Garage Sale, this will be of interest to fans hoping to have a piece of franchise history. With all proceeds going to the Minnesota Vikings Foundation for use in future charitable distribution.
Minnesota Vikings
Here is how the event is described on the official Vikings website:
"“Follow the first round of the NFL Draft with live coverage from KFAN, as we welcome the newest member of the Minnesota Vikings with the 30th pick. During the event, fans will have the opportunity to get autographs from Vikings Legends and current players brought to you by Mills Fleet Farm.”"
While it is a little disappointing that the event isn’t taking place at the team’s new headquarters in Eagan to give fans a peek at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, it is still great that the team is holding this event which should have a huge number of Vikings fans in attendance.
Of course, the biggest disappointment of all will be packing U.S Bank Stadium and having the Vikings trade out of the first round completely, having everyone go home without the team making a selection.
