As Eller strolled the field level at U.S. Bank Stadium, he turned into a de-facto public address announcer, introducing himself by name, number and position.
Eller was one of a handful of Vikings alumni to tour the Vikings new digs Tuesday afternoon, reveling in the glory days of the Purple People Eaters.
“I was always the first one to be introduced,” Eller said. “All the fans would cheer and yell and all of that stuff.
“That brought back memories.”
Eller was one of three Pro Football Hall of Famers in attendance, along with safety Paul Krause and Head Coach Bud Grant.
