Sorry ladies & gents, won't be making it to today's afternoon practice.

it is just special teams tho :P

Does anything worthwhile happen in the VIP area?
I know you get slightly better seating but what else?
My buddy is all pumped about it but I don't see it being that great.
I remember you had won some tickets there...what was your opinion?

If it is the VIP tent in the end zone of the front practice field, then you get:

Free gear
Free music (there is a DJ)
Free food
Free drinks (two)
Free tour onto the practice field (for about 20 minutes per group)

At least that is what I got last year, in the afternoon group that I was in.

If it is the season ticket holders' tent in between the two aluminum bleachers, you only get some food and drinks in the morning(non-alcoholic, as opposed to the VIP tent).
And you probably have to get there early for the breakfast foods.
I don't seem to remember any food in the afternoon for the season ticket holders' tent.

I think it is the VIP tent...he made a big deal about it.
We're going with one of the main marketing guys for the Vikings, and was told "if he says it's good, it's going to be good".

I just didn't see what could be so great unless your on the field meeting the players.
Now that you mention free cocktails, it all makes sense.
;D
Of course, they may not offer this at the 9AM practice.

Here's a video update on the "goggles" thing at training camp:

Click on #6 "Quick Hits" on the right side. It starts off with a Twins prediction before the goggle bit.
