The Minnesota Vikings are moving on to the NFC Championship game, thanks to one of the most thrilling finishes in NFL History. And even if they fall short of making it to the Super Bowl, their oldest fan will definitely be there.
99-year-old Millie Wall has received a ton of attention recently. The Minnesota native has been a fan since the team's inception in 1961 and remembers each of the team's four Super Bowl losses in the '70s. Before Sunday's big game against New Orleans, the Vikings sent her a pair of tickets to the game, hoping she might be their lucky charm. It appeared to work.
During the game, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell paid her a visit and handed her tickets to Super Bowl 52, which will be played right there in Minneapolis. Now, fans are hoping she'll continue her good-luck streak and will get to see the Vikes in the big game.
But first, the Vikings have to travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles, and there is a big push on social media to get Millie to the game. The hashtag #MillieToPhilly has been started, and her granddaughter says plans are being finalized to get Millie to the game. (Yahoo)
