rdfs:comment | - The Minneapolis Marines were an early professional football team that existed from 1905 until 1924. The team was later resurrected from 1929 - 1930 under the Minneapolis Red Jackets banner. The Marines were owned locally by Minneapolitans John Dunn and Val Ness, and composed primarily of working-class teenagers. Some of the first games were played at Camden Park, Parade Stadium, and Bottineau Field. Later games were played at larger stadiums such as Nicollet Park and Lexington Park. The Minneapolis Marines are of historical value to Minnesota, as they are the first Minnesota-based team to join the National Football League, pre-dating the Duluth Eskimos (1923) and Minnesota Vikings (1961).
