Performance Center Hits 70% Completion Mark

With just under five months left before it is set to open, the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center recently surpassed the 70% completion mark. The Vikings are set to move in to their new home on March 1, 2018.

Work recently began on the videoboard that will be located on the north side of the 6,500-seat TCO Stadium. The Vikings will begin hosting Training Camp at the facility beginning in 2018 and are working to host local high school football games at the stadium beginning next fall.  

The sod is now completely installed on the four outdoor practice fields. The four practice fields are separated into two neighboring squares and they can be rotated to withstand wear and tear. The northern square has an underground heating system that is currently being utilized.
Member Spotlight: Dedicated to Objective News Coverage

Carolyn Magnuson, The Eagan Enterprise

The Eagan Enterprise is a web publication devoted to the city of Eagan-its people, schools, businesses and government. We're a private, independent publication dedicated to providing objective coverage.  When I moved to Eagan, I was looking for someplace where I could read more about all the things I was hearing about from friends, neighbors, co-workers and business contacts. I grew up with some great community newspapers and hope to bring that same spirit to Eagan.  There's lots of information out there today. So much that it's difficult to keep up with it all. We try to sort out what's relevant to Eagan and what will affect people in their everyday lives.

Being a member of the Chamber is an important part of our mission. The Dakota County business community is dynamic and we welcome the perspective of the business community. Feel free to contact us at theeaganenterprise@gmail.com with story suggestions, news tips and anything you care to share.
