A Minnesota Vikings fan since his childhood during the 1970s, Brad TeGantvoort wanted to show his allegiance to the team on the eve of a new stadium being built. Attending the groundbreaking outside the Metrodome Tuesday wasn’t enough. Posing for pictures with RT Rybak, AP and Zygi Wilf wasn’t enough. Taking home a bucket full of ceremonial groundbreaking dirt wasn’t enough. For TeGantvoort, the only way to show he bleeds purple was to bleed red while getting a Vikings tattoo on his bicep. “Vikes can’t move. You better not move,” he said.
