Vikings are fans of the Mets, apparently.
During the opener of Wednesday’s Mets-Cubs doubleheader, Norwegian fans took over a section of Citi Field to cheer on the Mets.
Norwegian fans said the meeting was organized on Facebook, and the Mets gave them tickets in the same section.
The Norwegian fans are in the area because their team beat Senegal 3-2 on Monday night in a World Cup game at MetLife Stadium.
“It’s a new experience, a unique experience, because we don’t have it in Norway, but so far, so good,” Kawar, one of the Norwegians in attendance, told The Post. “It feels very American in all ways, in all ways.”
Norway does have a baseball league, the Norwegian Soft-Baseball Federation, but it hosts just six teams in a sport that is still growing in the Scandinavian country.
One fan said it took the group 15-20 minutes to learn the rules from one another before they began to understand what was going on.
“It’s a lot different than what’s on TV,” one said.
Once they drew the crowd’s attention, they picked everyone up with a game that otherwise had a relaxed Wednesday afternoon feel.
One guest service employee, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Post the Norwegian fans are “just different” and “phenomenal.”
He said the fans have been great at Citi Field all season, but seeing a country come together in chants has a special feeling.
The Norwegians have gone viral for those chants this World Cup, specifically the “Viking Ship” rowing chant they performed in Times Square and at MetLife Stadium.
One fan, Espen, said he’s been amazed by the stadiums in the United States so far, and another fan noted “Europeans need to learn something” from here.
The largest takeaway the fans had of the stadiums, though, was the number of food options.
“Lot of peanuts,” one fan said.
For every Norwegian fan chanting in the seating section, another walked around the stadium, enchanted by the milkshakes and burgers
