Minneapolis, Minnesota
U.S. Bank Stadium, located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an enclosed stadium and the home of the Minnesota Vikings (NFL). In the "Landmarks / Historical Places" (Modern Landmark) category, it is known for its striking angular design and transparent roof. Visitors should go to catch a game, a concert, or take a stadium tour.
The massive pivoting glass doors (the largest in the world) and the translucent ETFE roof are architectural marvels. The stadium hosts major events including the Super Bowl and X Games. The Viking ship sculpture outside is a popular photo op.
Attend a Vikings football game, a concert, or other sporting events. Take a guided tour to see the locker rooms, suites, and field. Visit the Vikings Museum (located in Eagan, but the stadium has team history displays).
Game days are electric but crowded. For a tour, book in advance on non-event days. The stadium is a year-round venue thanks to its enclosed design.
Tickets are required for events and tours. Prices vary significantly. The stadium has a strict clear bag policy. It is connected to the skyway system. Public transit (light rail) stops directly at the stadium.
The stadium features a wide array of concessions with local food favorites, team stores, restrooms, and family facilities. It is fully accessible with elevators and escalators.
Use the Metro Blue or Green Line to get there to avoid parking traffic. If attending a game, arrive early to enjoy the "Skol Chant." Download the Vikings app for mobile ticketing.
