“It really has been [memorable], and I can tell you from my brother Zygi, myself, our entire family, we are so grateful to Minnesota Vikings nation, our fans, the community,” Wilf told Allen. “It’s been a great ride, some incredible memories, more hopefully to come as soon as we can get them in terms of championships. But we’re proud of the community we’re trying to build, being part of the community, and we’re very grateful for the reception, the fan engagement, the facilities, and it’s just really a privilege to be a part of the Minnesota Vikings.”
Given the overlap with the anniversary, it was fitting the 2025 Spring League Meeting was hosted at the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel, a signature feature of the campus that includes Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center and continues to be developed.
“I think it’s a great destination space. I mean, you have top firms like Ecolab, who is our next-door neighbor, they’re a major sponsor. They use the facility quite a bit. We have CLA, one of the largest accounting firms in the world, setting up their headquarters and conference center here,” Wilf said. “Twin Cities Orthopedics, our incredible naming rights partner, they have great medical facilities here. So overall, it’s a great live-work-play environment.
“It’s continuing to grow. We’re continuing to build layers on it, and I think the owners in the NFL recognize it, and corporations and locals come here for staycations,” Wilf added. “So you have all kinds of great things going on, Viking Lakes, and, of course, training camp just around the corner.”
