Minnesota Vikings fans chant "Skol!" during games. The chant is a copy of the "Viking war chant" made famous by supporters of the Iceland national football team during their run to the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2016. At various points during the game, Viking fans raise their hands and after two beats of a drum, they clap in time and yell, "Skol!" The drum beats increase in tempo until the applause is near-constant. The chant is a celebratory cheer that is used whenever the Vikings score, and pre-game. "Skol" is a derivative of the Swedish/Danish/Norwegian word "skål," which means "cheers". The Vikings have been using "Skol" since their introduction as a franchise in 1961, as it was part of their fight song. The Skol chant was introduced as part of the fans tradition when the Vikings moved to U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016.
