Minnesota Vikings Tickets Continued
The Minnesota Vikings are named after the Nordic ancestors of many Scandinavian Americans that inhabit the Minnesota region.
1961 - The Minnesota Vikings join the NFL as an expansion team. They select Fran Tarkenton in the NFL draft. As is commonly the case, the Vikings first few seasons had low win ratios. In their first 7 seasons, the team posted only one winning record.
1967 - The Vikings trade Tarkenton to the New York Giants in exchange for four draft picks. This proves to be a wise move and the boosted roster is vastly improved in the season that follows.
1968 - The Vikings win the NFC Central Division Championship. The Vikings compete in Super Bowl IV but fall to the Kansa City Chiefs.
1970 - The Vikings hit their stride and dominate the NFL with consistent win/loss records and multiple playoff and Super Bowl appearances in the following years. They rank first in the NFC five times between 1969 and 1976.
1971 - Lineman Alan Page is named league MVP, the first defensive player to receive the award.
1972 - Fran Tarkenton returns to the team.
1974 - The Vikings lose to the Miami Dolphins 24-7 in the Super Bowl.
1975 - Tarkenton is named league MVP. The Vikings lose the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-6.
1977 - The Vikings lose the Super Bowl 32-14 against the Oakland Raiders.
1979 - Many of the Vikings best players retire but the team rebound by the mid-80's.
1987 - The Vikings compete in the NFC Championship Game.
1988 - The Vikings compete in the NFC Championship Game for the second consecutive year but fail to win both times.
1997 - The Vikings qualify for the postseason but lose in the first round to the 49ers.
1998 - The Vikings again qualify for the postseason, beating Arizona but eventually losing to the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game.
2000 - The Vikings compete in the postseason, beating New Orleans Saints and advancing to the NFC Championship Game where they fall to the NY Giants 0-41.
