The 10 thousand-square-foot space will be open free to the public Friday between noon and 6 p.m. The piece discussed the potential noise level at US Bank Stadium, saying that it had the potential to become the loudest venue in the NFL.While the Vikings have yet to play a game in the stadium, the venue did host country singer Luke Bryan and hard-rock band Metallica last week in shows that left many fans complaining about the sound level and potential long-term ear damage. Congestion has been a problem, both inside and outside U-S Bank Stadium. Officials say no tickets are needed. The Chargers were down for most of the game, so they only had 25 rushing attempts, but the Vikings have given up 4.5 yards per throughout the preseason, so that will need to be fixed before playing the Titans in week one.
Kneeling on the sidelines with Minnesota Vikings running back Matt Asiata quarterback Teddy Bridgewater lets lose a yawn as he watches the second team in scrimmages in the afternoon practice on the third day of the Minnesota Vikings training camp at Minnesota State University in Mankato on Sunday, July 31, 2016.
Peterson said the final decision was his.
While the Vikings haven’t disclosed what’s wrong with Kalil and aren’t obligated to do so until the first injury report of the season is issued in Week 1, it won’t be surprising if Kalil does not play against the Chargers.
“He has still got a long ways to go, but he has got great quickness”, Zimmer said of Alexander.
Bridgewater’s preseason workload consists of two series in the opener at Cincinnati – he threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Charles Johnson – so Zimmer certainly would like to get Bridgewater some more work. Sometimes things even turned out right when they looked to be going wrong. “Those are things I’ve seen a lot these last 10 days”.
The touchdown put the Vikings up for good at 12-10.
The NFL may have a new loudest stadium, but how loud is too loud? On the third play of the half, Trattou hit quarterback Kellen Clemens from behind, popping the ball loose for teammate Stephen Weatherly to recover on the San Diego 17-yard line.

Adapted from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the exercise required the Peterson and his workout partner, San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon, to carry a football as they rolled themselves over a balance ball, regain their balance and sprint barefoot across a mat in Peterson’s gym in Houston. I feel real comfortable taking runs out of the shotgun, and I’m liking it more. “I just made a decision to wait until the games count”.
