Minnesota Vikings: Stadium workers get misspelled hats

The Minnesota Vikings had a big ceremony at the new stadium Thursday to commemorate a dramatic milestone in the construction: the installation of the highest beam.

The so-called “topping off” ceremony was a big day for stadium workers who’ve toiled so hard over the past couple years and the team wanted to do something special to show their appreciation.

Unfortunately the team’s means of expressing their gratitude to the workers turned into a slight embarrassment.

The gifts were thoughtful enough – knit caps with the name of the team on them – but unfortunately the word “Minnesota” was misspelled on the hats.
