I have been reading a lot the last couple days about how Packer fans think that there will be just as many of their fans in the stands as our fans. I really hope this isn't true.

There will be quite a few, usually are given how close we are to each other but I have never ever seen anything close to 50/50 split at their "best' turnout it's probably 25%. I would guess that 1/10 or so will be packers fans. So several thousand but you can be pretty confident they aren't going to steal our home opener, that just your average rivals wet dream.

There should be more then enough to negate any volume issue. Just my opinion though.

Back in the 90's I lived in LA and went to see the Vikes play the Rams, it may as well have been a home game for the Vikings! It's one thing for Packer fans to show up in numbers one state over, it's another altogether to take over a stadium half a country away!

The game yesterday Vikings fans were way louder than Titans. The lets go vikings chant at the end of the game was hilarious.

This is one of the few reason i hate the home games against the Packers. I havent been to a game when they the Packers, but on TV, there usually looks close to a 50/50 mix. It also sounds like that. And ofc it has to be Packers fans. It couldnt be Chicago or the Lions.

There's SO many Minnesotans in LA, from what I could tell in my time there. Lots here in DFW too.

There was a lot of Vikings fans at
Arizona last season and they still
were very loud. Teddy handled it
well imo. The Green Bay vs Vikings
game I went to had a lot of Green
Bay fans but the Metro dome was
still very very loud. I'm sure Green
Bay is the same. You get 40 thousand
fans screaming..it's going to be loud.

Add on another 3 Hawaiians taking seats away from the Packers. Technically the other two (my dad and bro) are not Vikings fans but they will cheer. Or die. :twisted:

I think all fans should be strip searched and anyone wearing green sent back over the bridge.
