They used to call The Met, the “Twenty-Third Viking.”
Tribune file photos by Rand Middleton Met Stadium on Dec. 20, 1981, the stadium's finale with the Minnesota Vikings playing the Kansas City Chiefs. Quite a few fans would leave with a piece of the 25-year-old home to the Twins and Vikings, perhaps a folding seat, letters from the scoreboard or a chunk of sod.
I left with the men's room sign, allegedly. ;)
