And thanks to an 11-5 2015 record and a playoff berth, the Vikes saw a 45-spot increase in bang for the buck. All things considered, the Vikings are on their way up -- in these standings and, perhaps, the NFC North.Whats goodLast year, Mike Zimmer became the first coach in NFL history to lead a team to a division title while playing in a temporary stadium. The Vikings response? Giving Zimmer, originally on contract through 2017, an extension that adds a reported two years to his deal. Vikings fans, too, showed their love: Zimmer jumped 15 spots in these rankings, all the way to 15th overall. Fans have swooned over Zimmers blunt, candid style, and under his leadership the Vikings jumped from 32nd to fifth in points against. The Vikings bowed out of the playoffs after one round last season, and if Zimmer patches together another playoff team after injuries to running back Adrian Peterson, left tackle Matt Kalil and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, he may make believers out of the few remaining holdouts.Whats badNew stadiums are expensive, and as many teams have, the Vikings asked fans to shoulder a large chunk of the cost. Ticket prices remain around the NFL average, at $85, but its one of just two areas in these rankings in which fans placed the Vikings in the bottom half. The team did roll out a personal seat license program to cover $125 million of U.S. Bank Stadiums $1.1 billion cost, but the prices of concessions (though the Vikings still have the NFLs cheapest hot dog, at $3.00) and many of the stadiums better seats have jumped.Whats newFor perhaps the first time in their history (unless you accept the theory that the Metrodome was cutting-edge for a few years in the early 1980s), the Vikings have a state-of-the-art stadium to call their own. Thats no small feat to Minnesota fans, who bumped up the teams Stadium Experience an astonishing 71 spots. U.S. Bank Stadium opened with some logistical hiccups, but offers striking views of downtown Minneapolis and plenty of natural light through the clear roof on the stadiums south side. The stadium also offers the closest seats to the field in the NFL, and some unique high-end seating areas -- like the fantasy sports lounge with couch seating and table service.Next: Atlanta Falcons?| Full rankings Jacob deGrom Jersey .

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- South Koreans In Gee Chun and Sung Hyun Park each birdied eight holes to card a 63 for a share of the first-round lead at the Evian Championship on Thursday.In the fifth and final major of the season, New Zealander Lydia Kos bid to defend her title -- and clinch a third career major by the age of 19 -- got off to a rocky start as she finished seven shots behind the co-leaders.It was tricky for me because on the back nine I was not hitting fairways, said Ko, who has 14 career wins on the LPGA Tour and finished second in this event as a 16-year-old amateur in 2013. Hopefully Ill be able to hit some fairways tomorrow.Chun, the 2015 U.S. Womens Open champion, said she felt nervous after missing the cut here last year, but she hardly let it show.I could see the putting lines and I was good rolling the ball on those lines, she said.
