The Vikings are very excited to announce that tailgating is back again in the shadow of the Metrodome for the 2009 Vikings season. Beginning with the September 27th regular season home opener vs. the 49ers, Vikings fans will have the opportunity to enjoy Vikings game day just a chip shot field goal from the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis.

The Vikings Purple tailgate lots will return tailgating to its proper place, at the doorstep of the Metrodome (see map below). Along with many tailgating amenities, visits from the Vikings cheerleaders, the Vikings Street Team, Viktor and SKOL Line, the new Vikings drum line will truly make your tailgating experience second to none. At prices ranging from $300 to $360 per space for the entire regular season, you will receive parking in close proximity to the Metrodome along with all of the Vikings tailgating amenities including:
 
- easily accessible restrooms
- garbage cans
- a secured lot and charcoal bins for easy cleanup  

There are a limited number of spaces available, so please act immediately! Season passes will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Please note the Gold Lot is not available for gameday tailgating.
