The Minnesota Vikings are turning off the lights at the
team's new practice facility south of Minneapolis after neighbors complained
about the glow.
The Eagan building's north side is nearly 100 feet (30.5 meters) high and
lights up with the team's Norseman logo and the words "Twin Cities Orthopedics
Performance Center - Home of the Minnesota Vikings."
The NFL team will turn off the lights on the north side of the building
between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Marlon
Mack Jersey , said Jeff Anderson, team spokesman. The shut-off time
will be moved to about midnight when the team hosts night events such as high
school games.
The team is "listening to the community," Anderson said.
The other three sides of the facility will remain lit every night, he
said.
The Vikings moved into the 277,000-square-foot complex in March. The area
includes an indoor practice facility, the team's headquarters and an outdoor
stadium.
Mendota Heights residents complained about the lights last month.
City officials found the building complied with city code when it received an
initial complaint about the lights in February, said Tom Garrison Authentic
Troy Apke Jersey , Eagan spokesman.
"Brightness levels are the same as other wall signage in Eagan," Garrison
said.
The new solution was an "internal team decision," said Lester Bagley, the
Vikings' executive vice president of public affairs.
"We'd like to be collaborative and compromise," Bagley said.
Resident Nancy Commerford said the decision will help make her street feel
less like a circus.
"If I wake up in the middle of the night now I won't see the lights,"
Commerford said. "Having them compromise like this makes my day."
The team expects the change to occur this weekend.
An NFL player doesn’t get an MRI just for fun, so Josh Doctson undergoing
one seemed problematic.
Even though Doctson played every game last season Michael
Roberts Jersey , the memories of Achilles tendon injuries almost
entirely wiping out the 2016 first-round pick’s rookie year are fresh. But he
and the Washington Redskins are sticking with the idea of not being overly
concerned.
”Just tuning things up,” Doctson said. ”Every car gets an oil change.”
Coach Jay Gruden said last week’s MRI coming back clear meant no reason for
alarm, and the young wide receiver reported feeling good and looks the part
early in camp. Health is half the battle for Doctson, who at 6-foot-2 with good
hands and instincts has the chance to be a dynamic part of Washington’s
offense.
”He can definitely be one of the top receivers in this league with his
leaping ability and his size and him being able to run down the field,” fellow
wideout Jamison Crowder said. ”The main thing is just him staying healthy. If he
can stay healthy, man, he has all the potential.”
Doctson’s 2017 is evidence of that potential: 35 catches for 502 yards and
six touchdowns. He was one of five players with at least 500 yards receiving as
quarterback Kirk Cousins spread the ball around Justin Tucker
Jersey , and Gruden doesn’t expect that to change this season under
Alex Smith.
”It’s going to be hard for one guy to have a fantasy football superstar
year,” Gruden said. ”I think in the red zone is where (Doctson is) going to be
most dangerous, that’s where were hoping that he can really dominate in that
area of the field and some tight window throws on third down. Just continue to
get better and better and when the ball is there for him and he goes out and
makes the tough catches.”
Doctson is unwilling to share personal elements of his game he’s working on,
but there’s no doubt with his size that Smith will be looking his way on
Gruden’s patented fade routes in the end zone. The TCU product’s leaping ability
helps him stand out and has been noticeable in one-on-one drills against star
cornerback Josh Norman.
”He’s unique,” Norman said. ”With Josh Doctson, he’s deceptively quick – fast
in a way that his timing on the ball is almost impeccable. He jumps at the top
of every throw, it seems Youth
Jaire Alexander Jersey , and then jump balls he’s just
special.”
Gruden hopes Smith gets Doctson more touchdown opportunities this season to
show what he can do. That should happen assuming the Achilles tendon problems
are over and Doctson moves into what’s essentially his second NFL season.
The biggest challenge Doctson sees for himself now is developing chemistry
with Smith, who likes to review plays with receivers in practice and tell them
exactly what he wants. That’s different from Cousins and TCU QB Trevone Boykin,
so Doctson has to adjust.
”Alex might throw a little different ball than Kirk or my quarterback in
college, so it’s just kind of getting on page with Alex,” he said.
Doctson is able to do that because he’s on the field and healthy, a trend the
Redskins hope lasts all season.
