Welcome fellow Vikings fan!
As you know, finding great Vikings Tickets is probably the hardest part of being a Vikings supporter, but here you will find information on how to obtain 'hard to get' and 'sold out' tickets.
2007-08 Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings start ’07 without coordinator Mike Tomlin – and somehow attempting to improve a passing game that struggled last season. On the offence, the addition of left guard Steve Hutchinson is expected to help. And the Vikings do have Kevin Williams – who is one hard player to get by, along with Pat Williams, who racked up 44 tackles in ’06. With both Williams on call, the Vikings are strong in rushing yards – but Metrodome ticket holders still have to see their team challenge the Bears.
Previous Seasons
The Minnesota Vikings made a big splash in the '06 off-season, but it wasn’t for who they added to their team. This off-season for the Vikings will be remembered for the one where they traded away, arguably, the best receiver in the National Football League. The Vikings felt that they couldn’t get any further than where they had been with a player like Randy Moss on their team. They decided to trade him and his big contract away to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for linebacker Napoleon Harris and a first and seventh round pick in this years draft. The team also brought in cornerback Fred Smoot, safety Darren Sharper, defensive tackle Pat Williams and linebacker Sam Cowart to sure up a defense that had been full of holes in recent history. They were able to go out and pick up these players with the cap space that was created with the trade of Moss.
In the draft, the team knew they had to get another playmaker on the offensive side of the ball since Moss was no longer with them. They did just that when they drafted South Carolina wide receiver Troy Williamson. Williamson is a burner; he run’s his 40 yard dash in 4.38 seconds and is a natural playmaker. He has big, soft hands and in college, last year, he stepped up his consistency of coming down with the home run ball. Some of his greatest abilities include how well he can get a poorly thrown ball and making the tough acrobatic catches in the middle of traffic or in corners of the endzone.
With their second pick in the draft, which also came in the first round, was Wisconsin defensive end Erasmus James. James had injury problems earlier in his college career, but put all of those worries to rest when he appeared in 10 of his 11 games last season. The one game he missed due to an ankle injury that wasn’t serious. He is a great athlete at the end position and has what people like to call “a motor that never quits.” He will be welcomed with opened arms to the Vikings defense who have been desperately hoping they could get more pressure with their front four so they don’t have to rely on blitzes to disrupt the offense.
The offense won’t be what it has been in recent years for the Vikings for obvious reasons, but that won’t keep fans from buying Vikings tickets. The team is still led by All-Pro quarterback Daunte Culpepper, who could’ve won the MVP award last season if Indianapolis Colts signal caller Peyton Manning didn’t set a single season passing touchdown record. Wide out Nate Burleson will step up to the featured receiver this season and is the main reason the Vikings were ok with giving Moss up in the off-season.
The defense should be improved this year with all of the additions and the few subtractions they made. The veteran leadership paired with their new defensive coordinator should give them everything they need to improve this season.
