The Minnesota Vikings no longer are fans of paper tickets. By transitioning to a fully-electronic process for both training camp and home games at U.S. Bank Stadium, the club is better able to ensure a secure ticketing process and alert fans to important updates through their mobile app.
It sounds terrific -- and a little sad, too. Ticket stubs are among the most treasured mementos for sports fans. They often represent special occasions in our lives -- a father and son's first game; a jaw-dropping comeback (and collapse) etched in memory; an unforgettable day with friends that set the bar for all outings to come.
