The Minnesota Vikings were a lot of fun to watch during the 2017 season and a vote by fans showed that they are the most entertaining team in the league.

The formula for success is a simple one for the Minnesota Vikings: pair a strong defense with an efficient offense to pound their opponents into submission by dominating the line of scrimmage and the time of possession.

Minnesota executed their duties better than most expected during the 2017 NFL season by ending with the top-ranked defensive in the league, was 11th in offensive yards per game, and had their first 1,000-yard receiver since Sidney Rice accomplished that feat with Brett Favre.

Their hard-nosed defense and the fun offense made the Vikings a joy to watch every time they took the field, and having their games take place at the state of the art U.S. Bank Stadium makes the experience even better!

That’s why it’s not shocking that the team was voted to among the best in the NFL in according to a poll by fans.

According to the Voice of the Fan league-wide survey shared on Vikings.com, Minnesota finished first in Game Entertainment and second in Game Day Satisfaction for the 2017 season, both very impressive marks for the franchise.

Bryan Harper, Vikings Vice President of Content & Production, was very proud to learn of the results of the study.

"“It’s a source of pride for our group to be aligned and focused on making sure the experience is as good as it can possibly be, year-in and year-out. It’s not just because of the new stadium – it’s the way that we program things.”"

Any fan who has attended a Vikings game last season knows how wonderful the atmosphere can be. Whether at home at U.S. Bank Stadium or one of the other stadiums around the NFL, the franchise brings great competition and excitement wherever they go and will be contenders for a long time.
