EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – It was 1,300 miles one way, but that didn’t keep Wayne Mutterer and his brother from making the trek from South Carolina to Minnesota to meet Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer.
“We don’t get a lot of news about the Vikings in South Carolina,” Mutterer said, chuckling. “But [an article] came up on the [Vikings] app that said you could meet Coach Zimmer. I thought, ‘I’m not going to have any more opportunities to meet and greet Coach Zimmer.’ ”
The brothers drove 23 hours to FanHQ in Eden Prairie, where Zimmer met fans, took photos and signed autographs for just over an hour.
