Skol Chant — The entry states the Skol Chant was introduced when the Vikings moved into U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016, but the chant actually debuted at a preseason game at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on August 12, 2016, before the stadium opened.
Skol Chant — The entry claims the chant is a 'direct copy' of the Iceland national football team's chant, but the Vikings' version was adapted and modified by the team's marketing department and drumline, not a direct copy.
Vikings Ring of Honor — Randy Moss is not a current inductee into the Vikings Ring of Honor.
Vikings vs. Packers Rivalry — The Vikings and Packers have met over 70 times since the Vikings joined the NFL in 1961 is inaccurate; they have met over 120 times (including playoffs) as of the 2024 season.
Metropolitan Stadium Era — The entry incorrectly states the Vikings' first game at Metropolitan Stadium was their 'first-ever game at Met Stadium,' but their actual first game there was a preseason game on August 5, 1961, against the Dallas Texans.

Alan Page Defensive Player of the Year — The tagline 'one-time league defensive MVP' is incorrect because Page won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, not the league MVP.
Vikings All-Time Rushing Yards Record — The predecessor record holder is incorrectly listed as Robert Smith; the actual all-time rushing yards record holder before Adrian Peterson was Chuck Foreman, not Robert Smith.
Vikings All-Time Rushing Yards Record — The lore incorrectly states Peterson played on 'frozen turf of Minneapolis'; the Vikings played home games at the Metrodome (indoor) for most of Peterson's career, and later at U.S. Bank Stadium (also indoor), so 'frozen turf' is factually inaccurate for his h
