When the new Vikings Museum "opens to the public July 25, fans can plunk down the $20 admission fee, head over to team headquarters in Eagan and enjoy interactive displays" plus a "360-degree video theater," according to Mark Craig of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE. The plan is to "keep gathering and rotating displays to keep the museum fresh." The entrance will be "dominated by a 'Frozen in Time' display that details the six players whose numbers are retired." Each of the team’s HOFers will have "kiosks featuring an impression of their handprint on a football." Put your hand in the impression and it will "activate a screen detailing that player’s career." A “Leaders” section will feature "each of the team’s head coaches," complete with headsets playing audio from each coach. The 360-degree theater will feature "short films such as what it’s like to be on the field at U.S. Bank Stadium during a kickoff." In between showings, fans will be able to "post their own memories on the screen by using #vikingsmemory." The oldest item is the "leather helmet" worn by former coach Bud Grant’s father when he "practiced with the Duluth Eskimos" in the 1920s. The biggest item is the '80s-era "helmet car" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 7/13).
