Football is back. Vikings training camp is back. And after a year away due to COVID-19, fans are back. Roughly a thousand members of the Vikings faithful were on hand at TCO Performance Center for the first full practice of camp on Wednesday, adding some energy including a few SKOL chants and a sense of normalcy to the day.
The Vikings had nearly their full 90-man roster out there on a windy, overcast day in Eagan, with the likes of Danielle Hunter and Anthony Barr back after missing the 2020 season to injury and newcomers like Dalvin Tomlinson and Patrick Peterson kicking off their first camp with the team.

Fans were not permitted to attend training camp practices or home games at U.S. Bank Stadium in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But they arrived early Wednesday, with some settling into their seats more than an hour before practice began.
And there was a noticeable and happy cheer when offensive players lined up near the Purple bleachers for stretches as practice began. I m excited about the fans coming out here, finally, to see us in training camp here at Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Tuesday. Our fans haven t seen our players in more than a year. This gives them an opportunity … to come in … see our star players, to see all the new faces that we have on this roster.

All but one of the Minnesota Vikings players have officially reported to Training Camp and are taking place in the team s first practice this afternoon at TCO Performance Center in Eagan, MN. The lone player not on the field, second year cornerback Jeff Gladney.
Gladney finds himself in the midst of an investigation after allegedly assaulting a 22-year old woman last April. Gladney turned himself in to Dallas police following the situation and little has been said since then.
Yesterday, as he met the press to kick off Training Camp, Vikings general manager Rick Spielman declined to comment on Gladney s situation or status for Training Camp saying only that it was an ongoing legal matter .
