While it feels like it’s a long ways off yet, the start of Minnesota Vikings training camp for 2025 is a little more than a month away. The team has released their schedule for this year’s festivities in Eagan, so let’s give everyone the full breakdown of what’s going to be happening.
Camp will officially start on the last Saturday in July, 26 July. That will be a part of “Back Together Weekend,” which will feature numerous events at the Vikings’ complex, including a group of rappellers going down the east wall of the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel to raise money for the Salvation Army.
“Back Together Weekend” will also see a Youth Football Clinic as well as a Youth Cheer Clinic. If you miss either of those clinics, there will be other opportunities for your kids as well, as we’ll detail below. If you want more information on the clinics, you can hit the links on the Vikings’ official training camp page.
The annual night practice at TCO Stadium will take place on Monday, 4 August. The facilities will open at 5:00 PM that evening and be open until 11:00 PM, with the night practice slated to get underway at 7:00 PM.
General Admission tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 17 and under. Season ticket holders may request four complimentary tickets for up to two days of camp excluding the night practice. The tickets for the night practice are $15 for adults and $10 for children 17 and under. There will also be autograph sessions after most days of camp as well.
