Purple People: The Crazy Culture and Customs of Minnesota Vikings Fans, the Best Fans in the NFL
Purple People covers everything that makes Vikings fans the best fans in all of sports. You ll hear about the tailgating parties where Benchwarmer Bob drank beers with the fans, and how the fans had a season-ending pig roast and the players showed up. It will examine how the move indoors and the loss of tailgating took away the fans identity, but how they themselves led a resurgence in team spirit and came back better than ever. Purple People features interviews with famous Vikings players, commentary from people inside the organization, and profiles on great Vikings fans, including every official Fan of the Year. This book tells the story of the great and glorious Purple Pride nation. From fan clubs in sunny Los Angeles to lifelong season-ticket holders in Duluth, from partiers to priests, from guys to gals, from Norm Van Brocklin and Metropolitan Stadium to Brad Childress at the Metrodome, Purple People covers everything that makes Vikings fans the best fans in all of sports. Any fan will laugh to read the stories, and love coming to understand the great and glorious community of fans they belong to. Purple People ... for anyone who bleeds purple.
