• New Eagan Funfest ambassadors represent community at events (hometownsource.com) — Eagan's 2026–27 Funfest Ambassadors are already out representing the city at parades, Twins and State Fair events, and local volunteer projects.

• Why Vikings Hate Fans Posting Practice Clips on Social Media (minnesotasportsfan.com) — If you've been at Vikings training camp in Eagan, you may have noticed strict crackdowns on fans filming practice from the stands. This piece explains how teams like the Vikings worry that fan-posted clips from TCO Performance Center can tip off opponents to new plays and pressure packages, and why security has become more aggressive about stopping recordings.
   

• Short-term rental lawsuit dismissed against Apple Valley, Bloomington (hometownsource.com) — Apple Valley and Bloomington just won a federal court case upholding their bans on short-term rentals under 30 days, a policy Eagan also has in place. For Eagan homeowners curious about Airbnb-style hosting, this ruling reinforces that such tight local restrictions can stand, and highlights how nearby cities are using them to address noise, nuisance and neighborhood stability concerns.
