===Vikings horn=== [[File:Vikings gjallarhorn.jpg|thumb|The gjallarhorn at U.S. Bank Stadium]] During home games, the Vikings' [[Gjallarhorn]] is played during its pre-game ceremonies, a tradition that started in 2007. The ceremony has been an opportunity to honor past Viking greats (most notably [[Randy Moss]]) along with Minnesota-related folks (such as the [[Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey]] team when they won the NCAA hockey championship). The first horn broke right before the playing of the 2016 playoff game in Minnesota versus the [[Seattle Seahawks]], owing to below-zero temperatures (at the time, the Vikings were playing at [[Huntington Bank Stadium]], an outdoor stadium) that cracked it.<ref name="g877">{{cite news | last=Bieler | first=Des | title=It was so cold in Minnesota, the Vikings' Gjallarhorn cracked in two | newspaper=Washington Post | date=January 10, 2016 | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/01/10/it-was-so-cold-in-minnesota-the-vikings-gjallarhorn-cracked-in-two/ | access-date=August 29, 2024}}</ref> Both the first and second horns were created by Todd Johnson, a general manager at a music store.<ref name="g220">{{cite web |last=Krammer |first=Andrew |title=Sounding the Gjallarhorn has been a powerful Vikings pregame tradition since 2007 |website=Star Tribune |date=June 23, 2020 |url=https://www.startribune.com/sounding-the-gjallarhorn-has-been-a-powerful-vikings-pregame-tradition-since-2007/571412602 |access-date=August 6, 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Zach |last=Schneider |title=Vikings Honor NCAA Champion UMD Bulldogs |url=http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/sports/college/Vikings-Honor-NCAA-Champion-UMD-Bulldogs-128979783.html |work=Northland's NewsCenter |publisher=Granite Broadcasting |date=September 1, 2011 |access-date=December 24, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524054845/http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/sports/college/Vikings-Honor-NCAA-Champion-UMD-Bulldogs-128979783.html |archive-date=May 24, 2012 }}</ref>
