The gifts keep coming for Millie Wall.

The 99-year-old has been a fan of the Minnesota Vikings for the entirety of the franchise's 57 years of existence, but prior to Sunday, she'd never attended a playoff game. The Vikings surprised Wall with tickets to their divisional-round tilt against the New Orleans Saints, and now thanks to the NFL, she's off to her first Super Bowl.

Commissioner Roger Goodell personally delivered the tickets to Wall during Sunday's game.

"He thanked her for being a fan," Wall's granddaughter, Ashley Wall, told Michele Steele of ESPN. "We were both in shock. I was bawling the whole time."
