The Vikings won't be the only thing in Minnesota with a new home when the 2016 football season rolls around. With U.S. Bank Stadium set to open its doors to Vikings fans for preseason football in August, the Gjallarhorn is also relocating.

Typically stationed on the Vikings sideline, the Gjallarhorn will now have its own platform that will overlook the field from the northwest corner of the state-of-the-art facility ensuring that fans all over the building will get a chance to witness the pregame tradition of the sounding of the horn.

According to Norse mythology, the Gjallarhorn was sounded to announce the arrival of the gods. Since 2007, Vikings fans have witnessed the sounding to signal that the Vikings are coming and the start of a great battle on the gridiron is on the horizon.
