Traveling fan base

The Vikings have been given a bit of an unexpected gift this season. They have a loyal fanbase that has been following the team in droves to various away games.

It doesn’t seem to matter where or what stadium Minnesota is playing in this year, there are large flashes of purple in the stands. This has given the team a boost on the field and made playing on the road much easier for the club.

When they have a decent-sized crowd in the stands on the road, it makes it much easier for the offense to work, as it neutralizes the crowd noise. Vikings fans aren’t going to be hooting and hollering when their offense is trying to audible at the line. This allows the lineman and the receivers to hear all the checks and changes and keeps Minnesota’s offense humming.

Also, just having fans cheer them on to help build momentum and energy after a big play can really get the team going and is something they can feed off of.

The Vikings’ fan base has been a true gift to the team this season. Having them show up in droves at places like New York, Kansas City, Seattle, and especially Los Angeles has made playing on the road much easier for the squad.
