For the 42nd consecutive summer, the Minnesota Vikings arrived in Mankato, making Minnesota State University their three-week home for practice.

Move-in day was Wednesday at MSU as players hauled suitcases, pillows and televisions from their cars into Gage Hall.

Today, the Vikings will undergo conditioning tests, which are not open to the public, and attend team meetings.

The first practice is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Friday, and the team is in town for 16 of the next 20 days before breaking camp Aug. 16. The highlight of the camp is a joint practice with the Kansas City Chiefs on Aug. 3.
