One of the greatest games in Minnesota Vikings history went down this weekend and they had a long time fan in the seats who had never experienced a Vikings playoff game.
99-year-old Millie Wall has been a fan of the Vikings since the team’s inception so ahead of their Divisional Round game against New Orleans Saints, the Vikings organization surprised her with tickets.
And now thanks to the NFL, Wall is headed to the Super Bowl after Commissioner Roger Goodell personally met Wall at Sunday’s game and present her with tickets.
What a finish. Grandma Millie told @nflcommish she wanted to go to the @SuperBowl – @Vikings just got one step closer and Millie’s got two #SB52 tickets! pic.twitter.com/W9d24KoNix

Although it looks like Wall will not be making it to the Super Bowl game, she was so happy with the gesture. Read her statement below:
Looks like there will be no #MillietoPhilly. But I’m sure she’ll be cheering on the Vikes from home. pic.twitter.com/wBNxrCX0ci
