Searching the parking lots on Washington Avenue and behind the Target Center you’ll be sure to spot old and dated commercial trucks converted into Minnesota Vikings tailgating machines. Among those trucks, you’ll find a 26-foot tailgate machine filled with heat, solid maple cabinetry, satellite TV, deluxe stereo system, and a state of the art 1,500-pound trailer grill. This unique tailgating machine is simply known as Mink's Nest, and is the brainchild of the 6’2” linebacker like individual in a 5’7” frame known to most as “The Mink.”
