The Minnesota Vikings gave a lifelong fan the gift of a lifetime.
To celebrate turning 100 this year, Millie Wall is heading to her first playoff game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
The surprise was captured on video by Millie’s granddaughter, Ashley Wall, and shared to Twitter. The Vikings shared it too (the video has almost 100,000 views on the team's feed). Watch it here:
With astonishment, Millie read the letter from the Vikings.
“You’ve gotta be kidding,” she said.
The letter said:
“We would like to invite you, one of the biggest fans, to attend our playoff game on Sunday, Jan. 14. We know you will bring us luck as we enter into this playoff run and hope to bring it home. Thank you for the many years of supporting and cheering on our team, and making us part of your life.”
