The Eagan building's north side is nearly 100 feet (30.5 meters) high and lights up with the team's Norseman logo and the words "Twin Cities Orthopedics
Performance Center - Home of the Minnesota Vikings."The NFL team will turn off the lights on the north side of the building between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Youth Miami Dolphins Jerseys , said Jeff Anderson, team spokesman. The shut-off time will be moved to about midnight when the team hosts night events such as high
school games.The team is "listening to the community," Anderson said.The other three sides of the facility will remain lit every night, he said.The Vikings moved into the 277,000-square-foot complex in March. The area includes an indoor practice facility, the team's headquarters and an outdoor
stadium.Mendota Heights residents complained about the lights last month.City officials found the building complied with city code when it received an initial complaint about the lights in February, said Tom Garrison, Eagan
spokesman."Brightness levels are the same as other wall signage in Eagan," Garrison said.The new solution was an "internal team decision," said Lester Bagley, the Vikings' executive vice president of public affairs."We'd like to be collaborative and compromise," Bagley said.Resident Nancy Commerford said the decision will help make her street feel less like a circus."If I wake up in the middle of the night now I won't see the lights," Commerford said. "Having them compromise like this makes my day."The team expects the change to occur this weekend.Josh Gordon's new route through life Kendall Wright Jersey Elite , a straight and sober one, is rewarding him every day.
Given another chance to revive an NFL career he nearly threw away due to addiction, Gordon is embracing moments he once ignored."Right now for me it's a bunch of the small victories day to day, just being able to come to work," the Browns wide receiver said Tuesday while reflecting on
his dark past. "Like the little, little things. Having some structure in my
life."Gordon is counting his blessings ??football, fatherhood and fame ??as the former Pro Bowler, who erupted on the league in 2012, continues a twisted
comeback that looked hopeless at some many junctures over the past few
years.Now 27, Gordon, who revealed following his most recent drug suspension last season that he had wandered streets in Florida in search of his next fix, is
living in the moment. He's savoring small victories."To me, it's just like getting up and not having to worry about whether or not you have some type of security or a place to stay http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kendall-wright-jersey ," he said."Spending time with my daughter. "I didn't have much time, didn't get to spend any time with my family like that in the past. Being there with friends.
Working toward the future. Those are things I look forward to doing, and I take
pride in and joy in."Just coming to work. Being able to talk to guys, see guys' expressions, interact with them ... a lot of little things. I take a lot of joy in that."Gordon has found inner peace. The Browns are hoping he can keep it.Because of his off-field issues, Gordon has played in just 10 games since 2013. He returned for Cleveland's final five games last season, and showed some
of the flashes that helped him lead the league in yards receiving as a rookie in
2012.The talent has always been there.Sadly, so has the trouble.But Gordon believes he's changed personally, and he's now prepared to help the Browns bounce back from a 0-16 season and perhaps shock the league in
2018.Gordon feels strongly about his team, which acquired three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry and quarterback Tyrod Taylor in offseason trades."I think we're the best receiving corps in the league, in my opinion, already just based off of talent alone," Gordon said. "So Leighton Vander Youth Esch Jersey , you put in the playbook and some guys that are hungry enough to go do it, and hopefully, we go out there and show and
prove that. We're not short on talent at the wide receiver position at all."Landry agrees."He ain't lyin'," said Landry, who caught 400 passes and 22 touchdowns during three seasons in Miami. "I think the capability of what we all can do is
endless."Gordon also feels Taylor, who led Buffalo to the playoffs last season, and No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield are the best quarterbacks he's had in
Cleveland."By far," Gordon said. "It's going to be an interesting thing to watch the quarterback battle go on, but you've got a proven guy in Tyrod. We've got a
young talented guy in Baker. I don't see how it can go wrong, really. ... I
don't know a quarterback that works harder than Tyrod. He's definitely set the
bar. And then Baker, he's right behind the guy and looking up to a guy that can
show him the exact things you need to do to be a professional quarterback in
this league. So from a quarterback standpoint, we're really set. We're really
good."Cleveland's success will also hinge on Gordon staying available.He said this is the first time he's participated in the team's complete offseason program, and as he nears the start of another new season and another
shot at redemption Jackie Bradley Jr Jersey , his goals have shifted."More than anything, I really just want to win," he said. "Whatever it takes for me to get some wins and do my part where I leave no doubt, no question in
anybody's mind that Josh did everything he could do to try and get us a win,
then I can walk away with whatever the stat line is. More than anything, I'd
rather be a winner."To this point, Gordon has harnessed his demons.He's learned not to run tomorrow's race."To me it's just one day at a time," Gordon said. "You know, you got today and that's all we're really given. The next day, if I'm blessed with the
opportunity to wake up, I'll try to attack it with the same mentality and
mindset. And have the same perseverance, same set of goals and try to stick to
that day by day.".
