At the first Sunday morning Vikings tailgate of the season, the first game brings new beginnings.
"Definitely excited. We ready," said Mike Riley.
It brings optimism, excitement, a fresh start to begin the season.
"Been a fantastic week," said another fan.
After a disappointing season last year, fans say they're confident heading into this season.
"11-5," said Chris Miliner.
"I'm telling ya. This is the year. You heard it right here first," said one fan.
"With Zim it's been one year up, one year down, so I'm expecting us to be up again," said Mark Ollila.
Forget a winning record or NFC North champs, Vikings fans have their sights set on Miami for the Super Bowl.
"This is opening game of 2019," said one fan. "Heading to the Super Bowl this year."
