The Vikings haven't looked right since they moved into a domed stadium. Carl Eller, stalking the sidelines with that purple cape and the steam coming out of his nostrils is what the Vikings are supposed to look like.

Amen!

A little-known tidbit: The old Metropolitan stadium had steam pipes that ran under the field, to thaw the field, along the hash marks. The Vikes would call defensive plays designed to keep the opposition between these 'thawed' areas. On the frozen parts.
They designed most of their offensive plays to keep our ball-carriers on the steam pipes where they could get traction and not get tackled onto frozen, concrete-like turf.

The "Purple People Eaters" were one of the best defenses to ever play football.

The Vikes won many games on "D" in those days. Joe Kapp and then Tarkington at QB.
