Jesse Ventura has been an avid Vikings fan for six decades and likes what he now sees

Philadelphia beat the Vikings 24-7 at Lincoln Financial Field on Sept. 19. Jesse Ventura is a huge fan of the team. Ventura was 18 when he helped the Minnesota Vikings win a playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams in 1969. He was partying in the hotel near the stadium the night before the game. The offensive tackle Bob Brown was in his boxer shorts. He came out and told the guests he needed to sleep because he had a big game tomorrow. It turned out the room was housing the same hotel as the Rams' stadium. They won 23-20.

Ventura was a Vikings fan for six decades. He was mayor of Brooklyn Park from 1991-95 and later governor. Ventura has attended many games of the Vikings. He served in the Vietnam War, became a wrestler, and got into politics.

Ventura hasn't been to a Vikings game since his days as governor. He has developed a friendship with Tommy Kramer and Buddy Becker. They invited Ventura to the game on Sept. 25. The tickets were not available, but he got them from Becker's cellphone. Ventura will watch the Vikings play Chicago on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. He did a pregame spot for ABC. during his time as Governor, Red McCombs owned the team. It was filmed in a warehouse in Minneapolis. If the Minnesota Vikings beat Green Bay, it was used for the promo. if they lost, the spot was for if the Packers won.
