EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have secured naming rights for their new headquarters, with local physician group and sports medicine provider Twin Cities Orthopedics.The Vikings announced a 20-year agreement Tuesday with TCO at the groundbreaking ceremony for the training facility and team offices theyll move into in 2018.Financial terms werent disclosed, but the campus will be called the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center. An expandable 6,000-seat venue, one of five outdoor fields, will be named TCO Stadium.Twin Cities Orthopedics will also construct a full-service center set to open around the same time on the sprawling suburban site, where players can go for MRI tests and consult with orthopedists.Similar in concept to The Star, the multi-purpose complex the Dallas Cowboys recently moved into, Vikings headquarters will sit on a 40-acre site designed to anchor a 200-acre development with commercial, retail and residential buildings planned over the next 10 to 15 years along with hotel and conference center space. The stadium is expected to host local high school football games and other youth activities.I think an NFL team can create that type of energy and that kind of investment, said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who attended the event.Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, free safety Harrison Smith and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell were there, too, among the 20 people on stage for a series of speeches before a parachute quartet descended on the dirt and gravel to hand deliver the commemorative shovel that Goodell used for his photo-op dig. The landings were made on the under-excavation ground that will become the outdoor practice fields.The Vikings long ago outgrew their current space that opened in 1981 in Eden Prairie, which like Eagan is suburb south of Minneapolis with a population of about 60,000.Punts hit the ceiling of the indoor practice field, and business staff are scattered among three buildings. The vacated former headquarters of Northwest Airlines was available, a site much closer to the airport and much larger for all of the modern amenities desired by the team to keep players in the best mental and physical shape.The new campus will include an indoor field with full-clear height for kicking, an auditorium for full-team meetings and a variety of sports-science features such as hydrotherapy machines and specialized speed-training rooms.General manager Rick Spielman took best-practice notes from a number of college team facilities to help design the space.Given the fans-ready stadium thats part of the plan and the trend around the league toward stay-at-home training, the big question for the Vikings is if or when theyll move summer two-a-day practices to their new digs.Theyve gone about 80 miles south to Minnesota State University in Mankato for the past 51 years, one of only 13 teams in the league that travel off site for camp.We havent had any discussions at all about that, Spielman said. Thats down the road, if we do move at all. I know Mankatos been great. Its been our home for 50-odd years. They do an unbelievable job down there, and thats why weve been there that long. But all of that will be determined down the road.Eagan would undoubtedly welcome such a move. Even without it, the city is eager for the elevated profile that will come from housing an NFL team.Mayor Mike Maguire beamed about the destination potential of the project, casually mentioning the hypothetical chance for people to see Bridgewater dining in an area restaurant some evening.Vikings chief operating officer Kevin Warren said players could eventually choose to live full time on the site, at either a hotel or apartment once those stages of the development are done.I think what youll see, Warren said is a lot of teams that will come after us to say, `Wow.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL NFL Jerseys China . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Jerseys NFL Cheap . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.cheapjerseysnflwholesale.com/ . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team. Wholesale Jerseys China . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. CHICAGO -- John Lackey was ornery and fired up, just what the Cubs needed from their veteran right-hander to keep rolling.Lackey outpitched friend and former teammate Jered Weaver, Kris Bryant hit his 28th home run and Chicago beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-1 Tuesday night for its eighth straight victory.Willson Contreras also homered and Ben Zobrist added an RBI double for the major league-leading Cubs, who won their 70th game and moved a season-high 29 over .500.Kole Calhoun homered on Lackeys third pitch, but the former Angels right-hander later retired 12 straight. Lackey (9-7) allowed three hits over eight innings, and all six of his strikeouts were looking.Hes not going to be out there smiling all the time and hes going to be upset with umpires and hes going to be upset with his manager, said Cubs skipper Joe Maddon, who was with the Angels when Lackey started his career in 2002. Hes going to be upset with teammates on occasion. But thats just who he is, and when you know that, its OK. Because you love having him on your team.Weaver (8-9) gave up four earned runs and another one that was unearned when he dropped a throw to first base for an error during the Angels fifth straight loss.Bryant homered over the left-field bleachers in the fifth, giving Lackey more than enough cushion. Pedro Strop pitched a perfect ninth to finish the three-hitter.I thought he had an exceptional slider tonight and a really good changeup, Maddon said about Lackey.The matchup of veteran right-handers was as one-sided as their teams seasons in the opener of Chicagos 10-game homestand.The 37-year-old Lackey and 33-year-old Weaver were teammates a decade ago with the Angels. They had split their previous two meetings when Lackey pitched for Boston.This was the first time they batted against each other.Its a little strange when he gets in the box, for sure, because were good buddies, Lackey said.Calhoun struck first, sending Lackeys 1-0 pitch into the left-field bleachers for his first homer since June 25. Contreras tied it with a shot to left-center in the third.Weaver had the Cubs off balance early with his 83 mph fastball and 70 mph curve. But Chicago started to pouncce the second time through the order, with Anthony Rizzo doubling in a two-run fourth and again in a two-run fifth.ddddddddddddThe second hit came after Bryant sent Weavers slider onto Waveland Avenue.Its one of those lineups where you cant really breathe while youre out there. Theres no leeway, Weaver said. I grinded and tried to get some outs and some things didnt go my way towards the end.Weaver allowed eight hits in five innings.Its still a little weird because I root for him when hes not facing us, Lackey said. Hes a good friend. I really respect the way hes still competing and still getting after it with stuff thats a little less than he used to have. But hes still grinding, still trying to help his club win.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: C Geovany Soto (knee) was activated off the 15-day disabled list after the game and is expected to start Wednesday. C Carlos Perez was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake. . New closer Cam Bedrosian was placed on the 15-day DL with tendinitis in his right middle finger. RHP A.J.

Jorge Soler started in left field for the first time since June 6 following a hamstring injury and three games as the DH last weekend. He went 2 for 4.CALL REVERSEDThe Cubs Dexter Fowler was ruled out after 3B Yunel Escobar had a foul pop knocked out of his glove by a fan in the fifth. Umpires initially ruled it no play before huddling and changing the call without a replay review.HEYWARDS CATCHCubs OF Jason Heyward made a headfirst, snow-cone grab of pinch-hitter Johnny Giavotellas fly to shallow right in the eighth.UP NEXTThe series concludes Wednesday night with Cubs RHP Jason Hammel (11-5, 3.07 ERA) returning from the bereavement list to face right-hander and former Cubs draft pick Ricky Nolasco (4-8, 5.23).
