Mark Wilf: Our family intends to be part of the Vikings for a "very, very long time"

The Wilf family, who have owned the Minnesota Vikings for 21 years, has firmly stated their intention to remain involved with the team for an indefinite period. Despite rumors suggesting they may sell the franchise due to a significant decrease in expenditures between 2025 and 2026, Mark Wilf, co-owner of the Vikings, firmly declared on Thursday that the family will not be selling the team or any part of it.

"We love football," Wilf stated, emphasizing the family's honor and privilege in stewarding the franchise. Their primary objective is to secure championships for the fans of the Minnesota Vikings, whom they believe deserve them. The Wilfs have also expressed that they are not focused on selling any piece of the team to private-equity funds.

The Wilfs' commitment to the Vikings is evident in their recent achievements, including the construction of a new stadium that hosted a Super Bowl. Despite limited on-field success, with only three playoff wins in 21 seasons, the family remains optimistic about the team's future. Their ultimate success is measured by championships, not just playoff appearances.

While the Wilfs understand the importance of patience, they are confident in the direction of the football club and believe that they will achieve their benchmarks, including winning a Super Bowl.
