Training Camp
Tips and Hints
-
Occasionally the bleachers will fill up
so it's not a bad idea to bring along a lawn chair or blanket.
-
Players begin to file onto the field 30 to 45 minutes before the start of practice but will not sign autographs until the sessions ends. Autographs are now conducted on a position-by-position basis in the "Autograph Zone."
-
There is a lot to do while you are waiting for the next practice to start each day. Mankato has a large shopping mall and two large theaters. At the Blakeslee Stadium complex, the Vikings Village features interactive games.
-
In the evenings you are liable to see
some players at the restaurants and clubs downtown or across the street
from the practice fields.
-
Directions from Minneapolis to Mankato.
Minnesota State-Mankato is 90 miles south of the Twin Cities. Take Highway
169 south to the Riverfront Drive exit. Make a left at the light. Take Riverfront
Drive to Stoltzman and make a right. Take Stoltzman for two miles to Stadium
Road. Make a left on Stadium Road and it will lead to the practice fields.
Remember to always say thank you
when players take the time for an autograph and or picture.
