The Vikings make an event of night practices at TCO Stadium during training camp in Eagan, complete with fireworks and a concert this year. But because of a stormy Monday, the party will have to wait.

With inclement weather in the forecast, the Vikings canceled Monday’s activities and instead will hold a night practice on Monday, Aug. 12.

Thursday’s practice this week was scheduled to be the Vikings’ last practice of training camp fans could watch. Now fans will have another chance to see the team before the Vikings head to Cleveland next week for joint practices against the Browns and a preseason game there Aug. 17.

Fans who had tickets for Monday’s practice will get a refund, and tickets for the Aug. 12 practice will be available at vikings.com/camp at 10 a.m. Monday.

The Vikings play their only home game of the preseason Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders at U.S. Bank Stadium.
