I'm headed up to the Brainerd Lakes arena for a week's vacation starting tomorrow. I wouldn't mind tossing down a cold one with some other Twin Cities locals before the big freeze hits.  :cheers:

I've never been to Mn, but have been a life long Viking fan from the late 60's.  I have a Fran Tarkington Rookie card and few others through his career in the NFL.  I even have a #44 Chuck Foreman poster rolled up somewhere.  I even dated a daughter of a Viking offensive lineman in my younger days.  I was brave back then.

Sounds like you've been a long time suffering fan like myself :)  Used to sit in the stands with my Dad at the old Met when the Vikes played outside.  I think I could still give you the names and numbers of every guy on offense and defense from the 69 Vikings that were the first to break our hearts back against the Chiefs.

The restaurant is still there though its name has changed - but it has a P-40 replica mounted on the signpole.  Can't miss it!


It's down in Lakeville. Decent food, Coolest sign!

That's the place!  I'd be up for a meet and eat but I work nights now so can only do it on Sat/Sun.    Gotta be the best place for AHers to gather!
