About the Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings Football LLC is headquartered in Eagan, Minnesota. The Minnesota Vikings are one of the National Football League's most established and recognized franchises. The team was founded in 1961 and branded the "Vikings" because it represented both the will to succeed and the proud Nordic tradition of the northern Midwest. With the leadership of the Wilf Family, who purchased the franchise in 2005, the team has undergone a major revitalization and rebranding, winning both on and off the field. Under their ownership, the team has captured the NFC North title four times, and advanced to NFC Championship games after the 2009 and 2017 seasons.
