Facts and practical information

U.S. Bank Stadium stands as a modern marvel in the heart of Minneapolis, a testament to the city's passion for sports and architectural innovation. This state-of-the-art sport venue, home to the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, opened its doors in 2016 and has since been a hub of athletic excellence and entertainment.

With a seating capacity of approximately 66,000, which can be expanded to 73,000 for major events, the stadium boasts a bold, geometric design, characterized by its unique, angular form and the largest transparent ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roof in the nation. This transparent feature ensures an outdoor feel, allowing natural light to flood the playing field and stands, while protecting fans from the often harsh Minnesota weather.

U.S. Bank Stadium is equipped with all the modern amenities expected of a top-tier venue, including large, high-definition video boards, a plethora of concession stands offering a wide variety of food and beverages, and expansive suites and club seating for those seeking a more luxurious game-day experience.

Aside from hosting Vikings games, U.S. Bank Stadium has been the stage for several high-profile events, including the 2018 Super Bowl LII, the 2019 NCAA Men's Final Four basketball tournament, and numerous concerts featuring international music stars. The flexible design allows for a range of sports, including baseball, basketball, and soccer, ensuring that the facility is a versatile addition to Minneapolis's cultural and entertainment landscape.

The stadium is not just a sports venue but also a significant architectural landmark for Minneapolis. Its sleek, futuristic silhouette contributes to the city's skyline, while the surrounding plazas and park spaces create a welcoming environment for visitors year-round.
