MINNEAPOLIS — The U.S. Bank Stadium lawn was packed with purple and gold Sunday afternoon, and with groves of green and gold also in attendance, it was evident fans from both sides came to Minneapolis eager to cheer on their respective teams.
Bobbie Berntson and Amanda Black are from Montana. They said they're still best friends, despite their differences. Berntson is a Vikings fan, while Black roots for the Packers.
"Ten years. We've been planning this for 10 years and decided this is the time," Berntson said.
The Brown family is also a household divided.
"We got a Viking fan and a Packer fan in that family, so we're trying,” said Jim Brown, trying to convince his 3-year-old grandson, Jay, to root for the Vikings.
Quston and Arjun Monroe traveled from Jacksonville, Florida, to cheer on the Packers. While they were not happy about the outcome of the game, they said Minneapolis made a good impression.
"It's awesome, great city. I love it. Great food, everything," the Monroes said.
