A chartered Delta aircraft carrying the Minnesota Vikings slid off a Wisconsin airport taxiway Friday night and became stuck in the grass, leaving the NFL team waiting more than four hours to deplane.
"While taxiing after a safe landing, the team plane slid off the runway and became stuck. We are waiting patiently to exit the plane," read a tweet from the Vikings' account.
Delta flight 8867 departed Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 4:26 p.m. and arrived at Appleton International Airport at 5:09 p.m., according to FlightAware.com.

Their season in a nutshell.
Oh, the horror; oh, the angst; crisis, crisis, crisis.
Libs wetting their pink panties, chewing their fingernails down to the quick. GETALIFELIBS!!!
Once again, Packers supporters are careless in surface maintenance in order to give their team an advantage.
Maybe the “Vikings” should go back to dragon boats, like real men.
Kewl! Now they are mad! They is angry! They is so riled up that Green Bay don’t have a chance! How many plays do a team get in an average game? 50? Okay 50. I predict Aaron Rodgers gets sacked 50 times!
GO LIONS!
Hey, if I can believe that the Lions are 9-4 this late in the season I can believe anything!
I shall at this point present my scientific analysis as to why the Detroit Lions Football Team will win the Super Bowl this year. Scoff if youse will . . . but reality is reality, and facts are stubborn things.
Fact 1: The Cubs won the World Series
Fact 2: Donald Trump won the White House against great odds
The great curse that prevented the Cubs from winning was called upon to join forces with every other curse in the world to dog Hillary Clinton. As such, they are worn out! They will not be back in full force until February 19th, 2017 at 2:12:23. Because of this there is now nothing standing in the way of a Lion championship.
Voila!
Need I say more?
Thank youse very much for your kind attention.
Aaron Rodgers relatives work at the airport?
Out of bounds?
“Delta flight 8867 now arriving at Gate 10.......Gate 11......Gate 12.....”
Probably put their offense in charge of flying the plane.
Oh good, they are playing the Pack tomorrow...Aaron Rogers to Jordy Nelson show...Go Pack!!!!
I didn’t read the story, but could someone explain why they should have to stay on the plane for so long.
The coach probably said: “Just put it thru the goalpost, Captain”
...and he did, Vikings Style.
When the sliding quarterback gives himself up, the play is considered over and the ball marked where the slide started.
I wonder how many libs lie about their weight on drivers licenses?
It would have been quicker to take a bus.
Q: What is the best thing about dating a Vikings fan?
A: You know she’s not looking for a ring!
First-—What grass? It has been snowing there for days.
Secondly-—why didn’t they just pop the excape slides & come out? Not sure I would sit there for 3 hours—athlete or not.
NO rolling steps to take to the plane???
They went to Appleton because the teams stay at the Raddisson in downtown Appleton, not in Green Bay. It is only a 25 minute bus ride to Lambo from there.
Hotel rooms in Green Bay for Game Days are literally passed along in wills.
Appleton’s FBO has an “Air Stair”, but not one that reaches high enough for this plane.
I fly in and out of that place evey other month.
Dec 4th flight was canceled due to snow...and only about an inch or so. Something is wrong with that place.
