Weeks of preparation for the first Vikings game of the season officially paid off last Thursday (September 9th) here in New York. We had communicated to as many fans as we could reach, as well as had them pass along the word, that we would have a guest list...and it was a true success.
The game didn't start until 8:30 and fans were already lining up at 6, waiting to get inside Bar None. Many were wearing jerseys, shirts, hats, beads, some with their faces painted, some with boas, and some wearing Vikings helmets...all came out to cheer on purple and gold. By 8:30 Bar None was packed and we were ready for our rematch against the Saints.
Although the game didn't end as we'd hoped, it was still great to see all the fans show up for it as well as have them hang out after it was over. Many were dancing around the bar, catching up with other fans they haven't seen, and having a good time. We truly hope this continues throughout the entire season.
We also have some fun things to look forward to in the coming weeks. One of the Vikings NYC organizers was able to get two tickets to the Monday night Vikings/Jets game and we will be raffling them off next week. Tickets will be sold this weekend as well as next weekend and the drawing will be made at the end of next week's game. Throughout the coming weeks we will also be raffling off other prizes as well. We chose to do this for the fans. So many devoted Vikings fans have shown up to Bar None week after week, year after year, and we thought it was time to give back. This Vikings NYC club was created for one reason...the fans...and we plan to honor that.
We hope all you Vikings fans, New York and beyond, have enjoyed our start to this season and continue to have a great time.
Until next week.
SKOL VIKINGS!
