A Lot of Vikings Fans Are Already Excited for the 2025 Season

And so they should be

It’s time to bring everyone the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll from this past week, so let’s get to what fans of the Minnesota Vikings are thinking.

We’ll get the question with a little less suspense out of the way first, as we asked whether or not you fine folks were planning on making the trip to either or both of the overseas games the purple will be playing in 2025. The answer was a pretty resounding “nope.”

A full 95% of the people who answered our survey said that they are not going to be heading across the pond to watch our favorite team this year. I mean, that’s not exactly surprising or anything. . .things are expensive, yo. However, there were a few of you who said you’re making the trip, as 2% of you plan to attend their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin and another 2% will be watching them face the Cleveland Browns in London. Lastly, 1% of our respondents plan to make a full-on vacation out of this and attend both games.

I didn’t get the figures for exactly how many people responded to this week’s poll, but 5% is not a whole lot. I’d love to be able to do something like that someday, but it certainly isn’t happening now.

With that, we’re on to our other question for this week, where we asked when you’ll start getting excited about the Vikings’ 2025 season. The answers to this one are a lot more varied than the other question, to be certain.

Of those who responded to our poll, a full 48% said that they’re already excited for the upcoming season, which is pretty great. Then there were 22% of you who said you weren’t going to get truly hyped up for things until we get to Week 1 of the season in September, while another 20% said they’ll start feeling the excitement when training camp gets underway in late July. The final 10% of our respondents fall somewhere in between as they said they’ll start getting excited when the team is ready to play their first preseason game.

Obviously, I’m in the 48% of folks who are already excited. Part of it is the nature of doing what I do here. . .you can’t run a site like this devoted to one team without spending a lot of time thinking about it. But there’s varying degrees of that, and this coming season is one that I’m as excited for as I’ve been for any season since I started doing this. The way this team is constructed and the potential it has just makes me wish it was already September, so things can’t possibly move fast enough for me.

Those are the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week, folks. Thank you to everyone who took part in our survey and talked things up in the comments section, and we’ll have at least a few more of these as we prepare for the upcoming season.
