Training camp. Those words are familiar this time of year as the Minnesota Vikings often make news out of Mankato. However, this year training camp has a different feel than it did last year.

It's the first under new head coach Brad Childress, after five years under Mike Tice who was fired at the end of last season. Nevertheless, training camp under any coach is a world unto itself.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer stood on the sidelines of the Vikings' training camp this week with Sean Jensen, who covers the team for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Together they tried to make sense of the organized chaos.
