The Skol chant was in full force at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Vikings are accustomed to hearing the raucous “Skol” chant at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sundays, but hearing 61,139 fans halfway across the world bring the noise at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London is a little different.
Sunday's game, which was considered a home game for the Vikings, began with Jared Allen leading the crowd in the iconic chant.
From head coach Kevin O'Connell to the players on the roster, the Vikings gave glowing reviews of their trip to London, and particularly the fans that made the environment so special. Linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who's in his first season with the Vikings and had a game-changing pick-6 in Sunday's win, already recognizes how special this fan base is.
"I think it goes back to our, the Vikings, atmosphere at home. We kind of got that sense here with the 'Skol' chant, and it's the best atmosphere," Van Ginkel said. "And when you can get a crowd like that going and get them hyped, it's exciting. And we have fans all over the world, and I'm thankful to be a Viking because we got the best fans in the world."
