First Look: Go Inside New Vikings HQ In Eagan

EAGAN, MN — The Minnesota Vikings, along with their partner Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO), are working towards the completion of the TCO Performance Center and TCO Stadium. The new practice facility and team headquarters are slated to open in spring 2018. After 35 years at Winter Park in Eden Prairie, the Vikings are building their future headquarters on the former Northwest Airlines headquarters.

On Monday, Patch got an inside look at the progress crews have made. While the roughly 40-acre Vikings campus remains a busy construction site, it's possible to envision what the team's new home will look like when it's completed.
