Viking Victory Voyage knows tailgating and draft parties.
I was never a big into the Annual Vikings Draft Party. It just always seemed too extreme to this humble tailgater until 2008. That’s the year I hooked up with some friends from the emerging group calling themselves the Viking Victory Voyage (VVV).,
I met many of the people from Viking Victory Voyage in 2007 when the Vikingstailgate.com crew hosted several game day parties for them in purple lot #1 that season. In 2008 my best friend, Saueey drove to Winter Park with the goal of seeing what the Vikings NFL Draft Party was all about. We ran into several members of the VVV that day, and created this video:
The 2008 even was a great opportunity to meet up withe Metrodome tailgating crews in another setting to watch the purple draft their future stars.
Of course 2008 was the year the Vikings traded many of their picks to acquire Jared Allen. The event was still outrageously fun and the fans loved it. Some of you may know, or are a part of the VVV, but you may not know that they spent their first year of existence much like an NFL draftee looking for a way to make their mark in Big Leagues.
Like watching Adrian Peterson emerge from a rookie first round pick into an NFL icon, the Vikings Victory Voyage has evolved to become the biggest social network of travelling Vikings fans who make road trips to NFL venues all over the country. My favorite roadtrip party with that gang occured later that season when the Vikings played in Glendale, AZ against the Cardinals. They scheduled events every day of the weekend and it was an awesome opportunity to connect with very passionate fans.
The Viking Victory Voyage are loyal and very organized. It’s amazing to see how far they have evolved.
