Tom Brady ensured that not all football fans were left disappointed in Minnesota over the weekend, as the NFL legend draw a massive crowd to the Mall of America.

After being part of the FOX broadcast team as the Minnesota Vikings fell 19-17 to the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium, Brady high-tailed it south to Bloomington for the opening of his new store, CardVault by Tom Brady.

Brady appeared hugely impressed by the crowd that congregated in the Mall of America's Rotunda ahead of the store's opening, with the 7-time Super Bowl winner saying: "We've been to a bunch of different openings, this is by far the biggest."

The 1,700 sq.ft. store is actually located in the Rotunda on Level 1 of the mall, officially opening its doors on Sunday.

CardVault focuses on sports cards, trading card games and authenticated memorabilia across all major sports. It's an authorized retailer of Topps, Panini, Upper Deck, Pokémon, One Piece, Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Fanatics Authentic.

Brady acquired a 50% stake in CardVault earlier this year as part of a plan to attach his name to the company, founded in 2020, and rapidly expand across the U.S.

"This is a great opportunity for us to deliver something that this mall has never seen, the great hobby collectors store in the world is going to be right here at the Mall of America," Brady said.

Naturally, the Patriots and Buccaneers legend said he had "fond memories" of Minnesota, probably because he has a perfect 6-0 record against the Vikings.
