US Bank Stadium

Rising against the Minneapolis skyline, U.S. Bank Stadium serves as a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility and the home of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. Constructed on the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the stadium was designed by HKS, Inc. to reflect Minnesota's Scandinavian heritage through its sharp, angular silhouette. Groundbreaking occurred on December 3, 2013, and the project was completed in approximately two-and-a-half years, opening its doors in 2016. The venue is notable for its translucent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roof, which was the first of its kind in an NFL stadium, allowing natural light to flood the interior while providing protection from the harsh northern climate. The stadium features five massive pivoting glass doors that open toward downtown Minneapolis, creating a unique connection between the interior and the city. With a standard seating capacity of approximately 66,200, which can be expanded for major events, the venue has quickly established itself as a premier destination for global spectacles. It hosted Super Bowl LII in 2018 and the NCAA Men's Final Four in 2019, alongside a variety of international soccer matches, concerts, and community events. Beyond its role as an NFL fortress, U.S. Bank Stadium functions as a significant civic and cultural hub for the Upper Midwest. It has hosted millions of visitors since its inception and continues to serve as a versatile venue for high-stakes collegiate and professional athletics. By blending architectural innovation with a design intended to withstand extreme weather, the stadium stands as a modern landmark that preserves the communal spirit of Minneapolis while hosting the world's most prominent events.
