## Caption

Ta Leia Thomas is a lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan who chants "Skol!" while watching games in her living room.

On Saturday, she'll get to cheer with 65,000 fellow fans at U.S. Bank Stadium, after a video showing her giving away her shoes to a homeless man went viral and the team decided to honor her good deed with tickets.

"I've never been to a game," said Thomas, 38, a Vikings fan since age 4. Doing the Skol chant as her team takes on the Indianapolis Colts, she said, "will be better in person. This is the best Christmas ever."
