U.S. Bank Stadium

Awesome experience! To go behind the scenes of this fantastic venue was marvelous. We visited the stands, some clubs and the locker room as well as the field. Can't get any better!

Make sure to check your card transaction after buying a drink from the solo vendors that have the vest!!! We went to see Real Madrid play Pachuca at the FIFA Club World Cup. 1. Getting in was a total mess. There was no one telling us where the line even started. It was like a quarter-mile of people in different lines that just lend to big groups than circles, and no one from the staff was helping coordinate the lines 2. We finally got in, and my husband bought a beer from vendor #35. The guy tapped his card and just added a tip without saying anything! My husband got an alert and asked me how much the beer was. I said $15, but he got charged $19. When he called the vendor out, the guy admitted he added a tip without asking and said it was because he was sweating. My husband told him he couldn't do that, that he had to ask. We told another staff member, but I don't know if anything happened. They told us where to report it, but it was on the other side of the stadium, and we were in a hurry to get to our seats since we waited almost an hour to get in.

Visited this venue on April 10th for opening night of the AC/DC Power Up Tour. Good venue, great seats and an incredible show. Even in their 70’s Angus Young and the rest of the band put on a hell of a show. This was my first time seeing them and they definitely did not disappoint. Hopefully they will come back to the US after their European summer tour. So we can see them again.

Saw AC/DC at U.S. bank Stadium what a awesome venue for a concert. The sound was amazing. And our seats on the third level did not seem like we were that far away, we could see everything. I am a huge football fan but never really wanted to go to a game because of how big the stadiums are. I think I would love to see a game here. While walking around before the concert it seems like all the seats would have a great view of the game. Looking forward to my first game maybe next year

I purchased VIP bronze tickets to The Weekend stadium tour concert. The tickets stated to check in at the Vikings ship outside the stadium. When we arrived we were then escorted to the Legacy entrance which was nowhere near the Vikings ship. Once inside they had 4 staff scan our tickets and then tell us to take the escalator up two floors to check in for VIP bronze. This was also incorrect. The VIP check-in was on the first floor. It took a head security guy to radio in with other people to then bring us down again and some back stairway and it was a big mess, to be honest. After we got that figured out, got our VIP merch and headed to V2 which was where our seats were located we found our lounge which had our own merch line, bathrooms, food, and 3 bars, all of which had little to no wait times. It was amazing! The food was decently priced, chicken tenders and fries were $13.95, and a refillable cup for pop was $13. The beers were $16.50 each!

Had nosebleed seats but they rocked! Could really feel the crowd energy from up there! This was the fourth time I've seen them and it was really special to see a band have 60,000 people in the palm of their hand. Wasn't going to go because all of the "GOOD" seats were sold out. GLAD I WENT!!!!! Awesome venue.

NFL draft party 2025. I'm a Packers fan but took my Vikings fan son. Even with the draft held in Green Bay... I'm soo happy I took him to us bank stadium! What a fun event with lots of freebies and huge discounts on sideline apparel and practice jerseys. So much better going to an well organized event with a few thousand then going to green Bay and fighting the crowd of over 100,000.

Overall, a nice place. Huge. But then if you visit the Mall of America the next day, this place is small by comparison. As you can see, you can see who we saw, and to summarize: Spectacular! 70 is the new 30. Great show! Two bottles of water $11+. Typical. Easy to navigate, lots of concessions and bathrooms. A well designed modern stadium.

I've been to this stadium a couple times for Vikings/Colts games and it's a really nice stadium! Their food options are pretty good. I don't have experience with parking as I've always taken an Uber or walked to the stadium. But just like with any other stadium, it is hard to walk around when they are traffic jams in the stadium. I feel like it's really bad here sometimes for some reason. The field is great. The seats are newish and not cracked or anything. The bathrooms are large but their always could be more. I really like this stadium and can't wait to go back!

We came to our first Vikings game for the border battle between the Packers and the Vikings on 12/29/24. My husband said it was top 3 of best days of his life, and as a new football fan, it was an incredible experience for me too! The atmosphere was electric, the theatrics of the experience literally brought my husband to tears. As a lifetime Vikes fan, this will go down in his memory bank forever. We had fun at the longhouse and walking around the outside of the stadium before the game. We lined up to get in about 30 mins early and that paid off, plus not bringing a purse, we got in super quickly. We went to the fan store which was so packed we could hardly move but both found exactly what we wanted and left happy even though everything was incredibly overpriced. I mean the little plastic chain with a foam emblem was $45, and probably could have been bought at the dollar store lol but the cashier was super friendly. We went to guest services next and told them it was our anniversary and first game, and they gave us pins for both celebration events! That kindness didn't go unnoticed. On the way, we stopped for a Patron margarita cocktail, which cost $27 and didn't taste good but we figured we were going to pay an arm and a leg so we weren't too surprised but I would pass on that again. We ate the brat totchos which tasted about 7/10 and seltzers or beers throughout the game, but they also were overpriced. I guess that's stadium life! We ended up getting the anniversary gift pack to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary, and it was an easy and simple experience from start to finish. Our Memory Maker (which was such a cute name) texted to confirm our seats and delivered it with a friendly smile and a happy anniversary wish. The box itself was cute but not worth $150, again though it was a part of the experience so I was glad we got it. We both can't wait to come back for another game!!

Wow! So loud! It is my first NFL game. Loved it. TIP: ear plugs are available at guest services. Stadium is beautiful. Warm. Good food. Short lines. Clean. Had a memorable time at Monday Night Football.

Beautiful stadium. The Vikings have great fans and a state of the art facility with lots of accommodations. Aaron Jones ran in a touchdown right in front of me at the start of the game, which was a thrilling way to start my first visit! The brats at Von Hansons are tasty. I saw a TON of amazing looking chicken strips in everybody's hands but didn't try them this time. Keep in mind that once you enter the arena, you cannot leave and return!

We took the US Bank Stadium tour on a Saturday when middle school football teams were playing! Very fun to watch. Wow, this place is fantastic! have to say that I think I'm Vikings fan now! The tour revealed the vast variety of seating options. The club level offers seating with couches so you feel like you're watching the game from your living room. The corporate club boxes were very posh and the corporate cabin spaces were even better with fantastic seating and views of the field. My favorite part was the Delta private seating where you can actually be on the field standing behind the team. What stadium is set up for fans to view the game and the players from that perspective? Wow, super cool! There's also fantastic artwork throughout the entire stadium. Not to mention the natural lighting, and the acoustics. Every detail was thought out. Hats off to the architects, and design team that planned this brilliant stadium. My favorite part of the entire experience was seeing the "Honor the Game" wall where every high school in Minnesota is represented by displaying their helmet. The current year's state champions for all the classifications are on a special wall, giving tribute to them for winning state. Their place is held on the wall with the other helmets by a gold helmet commemorating that they are state champs for the year. I love that they took the time to honor all the schools, coaches, parents and athletes that make the great game of football, America's favorite sport. Hats off again for honoring the youth and the future fans of theNFL Very classy! I can't wait to come to a game here!

I love it here! VIKINGS GAMES have the BEST atmosphere! The energy is electric. Been daytime and nighttime, because both are cool! Many places to tailgate, park and easy public transit access. You can't go wrong at The Bank!!!

What a great place to visit. The only problem is the ticket prices. If it wasn't for our local high school team making it to state. I would've never seen the inside of this place. It looks really nice on the inside and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. If you have the money definitely go and see a game here.

I've had some great experiences at this stadium since they've renovated! The windows along the side give a great view of the city and perfect lighting for the whole place. I just went here for a corporate work event and we were able to go down to the field. It was so cool! The food for the event was also delicious and the staff was so friendly and accommodating! When I've gone for a Vikings game, the food is usually pretty expensive, but that's typically the case for sporting events.

Great Stadium. This is one of the best sports venue I think. It is easy to get to by public transportation and very organized. The foods are great! We had the Banh Mi Brat at the Union Hmong Kitchen. it's definitely and elevated Brat with a twist. Watch out for those jalapeño they're so good but every now and then you get the really hot ones! The Cheese curd is okay it's not bad, but nothing special. Now the Wicked Dog. That's something you should get. It has wiener & cheese inside you can choose jalapeño cheese or cheddar. The outside batter is crispy and the inside is gooey yumminesss. Went there for Viking vs Saint, and we won! SKOLLLLL!

Visited here from California and as a Raiders fan. This was my first NFL game and stadium that I went to and it was opening day against TB. The stadium is beautiful! It's convenient for tons of parking, everyone I interacted with was very kind including fans, employees, etc. Drinks and food was amazing but very pricey just like every other stadium(this 2000% markup on alcohol is a lot). We parked across the street for 40 bucks, walked there in like ten minutes, lots of police presence which felt very safe, and once again all the people were great. If you're wondering if you'll have a good time, you'll definitely have a good time!

Visited the US Bank Stadium for the event space! Holiday company party. The band was a lot of fun! There was plenty of space for the party! The drink prices are high.

Visited the stadium during the Vikings game vs. the 49ers. It was my first time there and all I kept thinking was how insanely huge it is. There are concessions, bar stands and beer stands, along with many different kinds of food on every floor. Along with various shops to get Vikings attire this place has just about everything. The only drawback is lines can get long and you're often bumping into other people. Other than that I enjoyed my first football game in my hometown especially with a W!

One of my favorite stadiums the dome is everything and it's air conditioned well. Easy access and love the tailgating.

Me and my family came here to monster jam . one of the best nights of my life. Pretty nice in side as well

When I moved to Rochester, MN, I got cable TV with an enhanced channel package. I realized that only the basic channels appealed to me. I wanted to also watch NHL (hockey) games. I ended up cancelling the enhanced channel package and kept the basic ones. I then got a DirecTV satellite dish. I got a technician to install it. I also signed up for a channel package that had the NHL network included. This conversation happened over the phone between the DirecTV person and me. "You get the NFL channel with your package, so you'll never miss a game" he said. "I don't care about football. I want the NHL package," I replied. I was happy with my NHL setup. I never touched the NFL channel. I recall driving up to Bloomington one Sunday to visit Mall of America. It was super quiet. I then realized that the Vikings were playing the Packers. I was happy that traffic flowed. Getting laid off and moving back to Winnipeg changed my perspective on football. I got into the Canadian Football League (CFL) and attended many Bombers games, including the Grey Cup in Winnipeg. I understand football. It's not rocket science to me. However, if someone understands cricket, please explain that game to me. All I see is someone hitting a ball with a bat, and a lot of back-and-forth running action as if the player has gone mad. I like setting goals. I have seen the Twins and Wild play, but not the Vikings or Timberwolves. I decided to work on seeing the Vikings for the first time. I bought a ticket online and ended up in section 314 (pi!), which seemed fitting for a numbers person. I got my ticket digitally and added it to my wallet on my phone. I parked at Denison parking and took the skywalk over to US Bank Stadium. There were a ton of staff guiding folks. I went through security fine. You are allowed to bring a small bag. I'm so used to restrictive Xcel Energy Center regulations that I only bring a credit card, my car keys, and my phone. I went through fine. I needed the upper concourse. A female staffer let me know that I needed to go up a couple of floors and to use the escalators to my right. So helpful! I had talked to the owners of Pronto Pups the day before. They were envious that I was at this game against the Chicago Bears. The woman said that it's a pretty stadium with natural light coming in. She was right. I made it to the upper concourse and the view was stunning. I liked that the roof was glass and sloped. It was cheerful and bright. More importantly, there was purple everywhere, which makes this purple fan happy. I hit the concession stand. I got popcorn and a Diet Pepsi. I paid with a credit card and got my goods. Oddly, you don't get a lid for your drink. I did spill a bit of it en route to my seat. The sections and seats are clearly marked. I had no problem finding my seat. There are handrails up and down stairways. I sat next to the nicest woman with her friend to my right. One showed me the Packers score on her phone. "They lost. I'm so happy!" she said. The cheers in the stadium when the Packers score displayed on the screen said it all. Her friend looked at my popcorn and asked if it was yummy. It was, albeit liberal on the salt. I offered some because, hey, it's Minnesota nice for a reason. The cool thing about US Bank Stadium is that there is someone who controls various effects during the game. Folks in charge of them can queue up fireworks, fake snow, bubbles, and more. It was so cool to see and enjoy! I used the washroom a couple of times. The women's washroom was clean and nicely stocked. No complaints. The game was fun. It got exceptionally exciting towards the end when the Vikings sealed their win with a turnover and a touchdown. The skol chant and having a man lead the chant on a large drum was awesome! I found the Locker Room, which is the Vikings merchandise store. I got a Vikings cap. I'm into caps these days. I like that if I'm having a bad hair day that I can put a cap over the mess. Done! The halftime break featured America's Got Talent standout, Wyn Starks. He performed an original song and it was moving. I ended up seeing his interview live as part of the audience at The Jason Show the next day. I was trying to take a selfie, to remember this special day before I left. A female staffer offered to take my photo. Such a saint! I don't enjoy taking selfies and she did a great job fiddling with the light and focus on my phone to get several photos of me. I thanked her for her help. Leaving this stadium was straightforward. Staff wished us a great day. I appreciated how helpful and friendly they were. I found the skywalk and headed to my car fine. It's an impressive stadium. I had a wonderful experience. There isn't a bad seat in this house! I'd love to see a concert or another Vikings game here again. (427)

Such a wonderful stadium. The design is a sight to behold outside, but the inside is just as exciting. The entire building has air conditioning, which is very nice on a hot, summer day. I have been here two times, once for a concert, and the other a game. Both were very enjoyable. The prices for food are pretty outrageous and parking prices are outrageous as well. But the events themselves are very entertaining.

We were not here for an event or a game but for their stadium tour. We were with our local relatives who arranged the tour. The prices with the rip-off Ticketmaster fee was a bit high but then again they have to pay for this very expensive stadium. The stadium itself is stunning and the tour through many of the luxury boxes, the swank high roller lounge areas, locker room, etc. was really cool. They even let you go on the field and throw a football around if you are so inclined. The only downside was the tour guide was not very good. Sure he had lots of jokes but he was short on facts and stories about the place. We recently went on a tour of another stadium in the mid-west and it was fantastic because of the tour guide. With a different guide this may be a five star experience.

I enjoyed a Packer vs Vikings game at US Bank Stadium. I had an amazing time in the Champion Club. There were endless options of food and drinks!

I'm so proud of our MN stadium. It is a sight to see. The thing is gargantuan. We took the southwest transit bus to get there and it's such a breeze. I hope they never stop doing that. Purple is EVERYWHERE in the most tasteful way. No detail was spared. The staff is always incredible. The bartender was so helpful and patient in our choice making. The skol chant booms and "snow" flys pregame. It's incredible to see. Concerts are amazing! I had tickets to Taylor Swift's Reputation Stadium tour and the acoustics were incredible. I have heard rumors that the glass ceiling side doesn't have clear sound but I didn't find that to be an issue.

Should be 5 stars but the Vikings play here LOL. Great stadium, lots of amenities. Really loses a star for the strict bag policy. I understand you need safety and security but the staff needs to all.be on the same page. One tells us one thing, then another tells us something else and we are delayed entering the stadium. Be warned, you need clear handbags and backpacks! And if you don't have that, the handbags cant be larger than a large cellphone! You will have to put it in a locker truck.

1) no parking 2) not really handicapped friendly Other than those two problems, the place is pretty wonderful. Went to the Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks concert on November 10, 2023 The acoustics were better suited to Billy. His voice was easily heard at the top of the stadium. Stevie's voice sounded distant and distorted The stadium was well staffed for all the concession stands and the prices are what they are in most stadiums Ver clean and well stocked bathrooms Overall: B+

So in this game I could see two things. My favorite player is Justin Herbert and the best player in the league, Justin Jefferson. I must say they did not disappoint at all. But I am here to talk about the stadium. I remember the moment my Uber pulled up to the side where security and the workers were entering. It was 8:10 AM Sunday morning. Yes, I wanted to take it in all and I had 4 hours to do so. They had so much going on around the stadium. Free beer samples. Coffee samples. Smoothies and brauts you could purchase. Lottery ticket giveaways. A DJ inside the Whiskey Pavillion. A live band. The Transit has a stop directly adjacent to the stadium. How cool is that? I purchased my ticket on Tick Pick the no fee App where what you see is what you pay. So I was looking for the best seat value where price was no issue. Seeing that the Vikings were in the bottom half of the league ticket prices were not Chief Like so I was able to snag a great seat in Section 111 for $320.00. Mind you I was okay with that price seeing that I may be inclined to see a game in person once every two years and this was on my bucket list. I got in line at 9:45 and the gates opened at 10. Security was a breeze and the ticket scan was quick. This place is so cozy and so purple and so clean. I went to the concourse to explore the food options which all can be found on an app you scan. The bathrooms were spotless and were kept that way throughout the game. Navigation was so simple. There were docents in dressy blue and white shirts (maybe it was a shade of purple) that seemed to be lined along the walls at every seat entry point who would direct you to whatever you were looking for. I must say it looked like to me every seat in the house had a phenomenal view. Escalators transported you to each level or you could take the stairs. I saw the huge hand carved drum near section 120 and I just thought it was a symbol of the Vikings on display but boy was I wrong. This team has to have the best pregame and in game hype. The drum starts to beat. The crowd is on its feet. Hands raised. Clapping in unison. The whole stadium. Black, white, child, Latinos, Native American, Elderly. All joined in as one Unified Viking Chanting SKOL! SKOL! SKOL! as the drum reached a feverish crescendo. I mean so the Vikings are 0-2 (0-3 now) but this is the kind of stuff that keeps your fan base fired up. Keep them coming back. I was so pumped and in the moment. Yes, the Vikings were the Vikings proving to be more inept than Barney Fife at every turn. But you know what. Both Justins showed up and showed out! Herbert had over 400 yards passing and JJ had over 140 receiving yards. So it was a win win for me! The concessions workers were so damn friendly! Everyone was just happy to be in this place. A great work environment makes all the difference. The view looking up into the clear plastic roof was breathtaking. Seeing the skyline from every angle. The jumbotron can only be rivaled by THAT other stadium in Texas. I was about as close to the field as a working man could get and I could see Justin Hebert's eyeballs. Yet I still found myself watching the game from the jumbotron. US Bank Stadium is an eye popping architectural gem. Food choices are abundant. HyVee even has a few grab and go mini grocery stores in the place. Hospitality is excellent. Layout A++ entry and post game exit a breeze. This place was on my bucket list for a reason and it was a visit I will never forget. Sorry the Vikings lost. SKOL!

My son and I went to the Stadium tour the day before attending a Vikings game. Our tour guide Ed was phenomenal and fun. The stadium is the most beautiful in the NFL. Even if you think you wouldn't be interested, believe me, you'll find the tour fascinating.

I have been here for a concert and Vikings games and it never disappoints! The facility is top notch and the staff is always great with answering questions especially when finding where certain things are in the stadium! There's plenty of food options but keep in mind it's stadium food prices so it'll be expensive! Otherwise I always enjoy my visit to US Bank Stadium!

It was great, even though we went to a preseason game it was a blast, love doing the skol. I've been here many times, it never gets old

I went to Ed Sheran Concert here. The stadium is architecturally beautiful and clean. It seems well staffed with appropriate safety measures. Employee were friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience. On the other hand, I am not sure if it was die to conflict of Ed Sheran sound stage or if it's the design of the stadium? There was entirely too much echo and reverberating off of the speakers. It was so loud but not in a great way. It was very difficult to appreciate the singers with all that distracted noise happening.

This stadium is pretty neat with a very modern feel (which is fitting since it was built less than ten years ago). There's a great area out front for pre-event activities and it's a dome which is perfect for winter sports. The only main complaint is that there are giant bottlenecks of fans when entering the stadium. You can get stuck there at the front for 30 minutes just trying to get through the masses.

This stadium is super neat, I went to my first Vikings game here on thanksgiving 2022. There seem to be a lot of vendors and food/drink options which is great - my favorite being the Smoothie place Maui Wowi (great Pina Coladas) for a event like this. Parking is as expected for downtown Minneapolis / sporting events, we took an Uber and that worked out great! While I'm afraid of heights, I survived and had fun in section 317B! I would highly recommend ear plugs though, it's extremely loud and my ears were hurting after a few great plays.

After working hard and saving, I decided to purchase tickets for my dad to his first Vikings home game. Coming from Bakersfield, California this venue was mind blowing and amazing! When we arrived and were scanning our tickets we decided to tell the worker scanning the tickets it was our first game! Upon telling this fact to the worker stating it was our first game, he proceeded to look me and my dad in the eyes and did not want to give us a "first game" pin as if we were lying?! After pleading and begging telling the worker we are from California traveling to your venue in Minneapolis he was still very hesitant but decided unwillingly to give my dad a pin. It was not the most pleasant entrance, matter of fact is was annoying that the worker decided we would come all this way just to lie?!?, but we arrived in the venue and enjoyed the game. Be better Minnesota, smh.

Went for a Rammstein concert. Acoustics were great in section 113. I was worried after seeing all the negative reviews. I would imagine if you're up on the top level you would get a lot of sound reflection which could ruin a show. But, I wouldn't sit up there. Easy access to the stadium in downtown area. I bought a parking pass and everything was smooth. Food and beverage was ridiculously overpriced. Exit after the show was smooth and fast too. Cool stadium.

Do not go to a concert here audio is horrible and can't hear anything. Prices are outrageous.

Got a last minute ticket to the ncaa championship and after passing on awesome tickets to the final four I wasn't missing this opportunity. Pre purchased parking with parking whiz app (highly recommend) and went to see this venue for the first time. It's massive in scale - nosebleed tickets are pretty far from the action but it is a fun well designed to walk with easy in and out design features. It's relatively easy to park farther away and walk-in but pick an area more central to the city. Seats are smallish and there is good food and drink available in the stadium and in tbt surrounding areas. Likely a better venue for football and the Sound treatments for the concert venues and sound were really good. Now I need to get broncos Vikings this Nov.

Awesome! They did a great job designing this stadium! Very modern, and we were luckily invited to a suite to watch a Viking's game. It was a great view, great staff, great drinks. The only downfall I would say is the food is just average. Very walkable from downtown and there is also a metro you can take. Most folks take Uber or cabs for game days as we heard there is minimal parking or super expensive parking

US Bank? What about THEM Bank? Hmm? Exactly. My point exactly. This is a pretty massive, fairly spectacular stadium in the heart of Minneapolis about 1 mile at the downtown area. It's brand new and still smells like fresh paint. Not literally but you know what I mean. It houses the Vikings, and does so well. It's indoor - like the Metrodome was - but a massive improvement on that old place. So far the Vikings have been doing pretty well in it, so good for them. Perhaps they can bring a championship home soon, because it's been a long time. But if Randy Moss couldn't get it done, then you have to wonder. Seems like a pretty Daunte-ing task. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the Patriots lost here... just kidding (low key not kidding), it's because the Twin Cities taxpayers had to pay a huge portion of the cost. 975 mil total... the Vikings only paid 475 mil. 500 mil came from your taxes. Oh and the owners of the team are multi billionaires and are making billions off the team. So.

First time in Minnesota, first Vikings game here, of course. The stadium itself is an architectural marvel, reminiscent of a Viking longboat of yore. There was a half-sized ship prow at the front of the stadium which featured giant oars and shields which were good for picture taking. The inside of the prow had many plaques, sequentially noting important dates in the Minnesota Vikings team history, such as coach hires and Super Bowl appearances. The sail was a video board with game Day info. Leading into the stadium were thousands of dedicated bricks from donors. The entry process was efficient and quick. The temperature inside was between 65-70, even tho it was snowing outside. There was free WiFi, cup holders at each seat and perfect sloping so the fans in front of us never blocked our view. Much of the roof and many of the walls were glass, making the lighting nice and soft. The speakers were loud but clear, the two Jumbotron screens in the end zones were informative, with current game stats, such us rushing yards, etcetera, for both teams. The most important part: the Vikings dominated the Eagles for most of the game and won by three scores. Skol! In two days we will do a back-stage tour and I will do an update.

The audio sucks. The seating is uncomfortable. Everything is expensive. All the food was cold. The people are rude. The staff don't help. There is no organization, so you're pushing past crowds of people walking as slow as can be. If you have any form of anxiety, please don't ever step foot in US Bank Stadium. They have a sensory room that you can't access! Yay!

In a state known for "nice", is it any wonder that their stadium is also very much the same? I don't know how they manage those outdoor check-in stations for games later in the year with that notorious cold weather of theirs, but fortunately the weather was mild the evening of the Saints Vikings game, so I had no complaints. The stadium is huge, and beautiful inside. They could use a bit more signage though, because I had a difficult time finding the club that corresponded with my ticket. Food and beer prices were probably the most reasonable I've seen at any stadium. Three beers for $22.50? Can't beat that! And of course the "Minnesota Nice" even applies to the fans of the home team. I was the lone Saints fan in a sea of purple and gold and aside from some friendly ribbing (plus a few drunken antics from some nearby dudebros, and unwanted commentary from a crotchety old guy who made sure everyone within earshot knew he was a season ticket holder), the home team fans were great! They high-fived me when my team made a good play (and I grudgingly did the same. Haha!) and we chatted in between plays. The guys seated beside me bought me a round and even shared their food with me. Yeah, these folks are the epitome of nice. In addition to a great mix of music in between plays, the Vikings also have an incredible drumline, the Skol Line, who performed several times during the game. And their cheerleaders have much better choreography than many others I've seen. As a dancer, I greatly appreciated that because I've seen some really awful cheerleading routines in my day. I had to knock off the star because contacting the stadium is a pain in the ass. Several of the clubs in the stadium offer unlimited food and drink. Unfortunately, the website does not tell you which tickets correspond with those clubs. My intention was to purchase club seats in one of those clubs, so I called and emailed the stadium for 2 months but did not receive a reply. Eventually I decided to just take my chances, buy a random club seat, and hope for the best. Well, wouldn't you know that the day after I purchased my ticket, someone from the stadium finally wrote me back and provided me the information I had been seeking. Too little, too late.

Loved the new stadium! I'm from San Francisco and this place blew away our Levi Stadium. For starters it's enclosed. There was a great free concert outside the stadium before the game. Lots of activities before the game so get there early. We parked about 5 blocks away for $12.

I am a fan of urban planning. One of the aspects of urban planning that I am intrigued with are stadia. When well designed stadia are in downtowns  they improve the fabric of the urban design.  This review is written from the perspective of visiting US Bank Stadium as a landmark instead of seeing a Minnesota Vikings game. At the time of my visit here on July 22, 2019 it was the height of baseball season. This was less than a year that US Bank Stadium hosted Super Bowl LII (in 2018) and close to three years when the Minnesota Vikings played their first game here on September 18, 2016 against the Green Bay Packers.   US Bank Stadium which is nicknamed "The Ship" is an inspiring work of architecture that I got to explore up close on a circular outside walk in addition to inside the Minnesota Vikings Gift Shop. Born on July 20, 2016 this is the first fixed NFL stadium since The Home of the Detroit Lions-Ford Field. At this stadium a retractable roof is nonexistent. For the sake of architecture this is a good thing because it forced the architects to come up with a captivating design. To say that US Bank Stadium is captivating is an understatement. This is a stadium that absorbs the surrounding city instead of creating a circular wall. The key word to describe it is "transparency." The black zink facade incorporates a fixed slanted roof that brings sunlight into the stadium because it is 60% transparent. What is really neat about this design is its ability to handle the tremendous snowfall that Minnesota gets. Incorporated in the design the snow falls from the slanted roof towards the Mississippi River. In addition, facing the Downtown skyline are five humungous pivoting doors that can open. This viewpoint allows guests to take in downtown Minneapolis from inside. This is the view I took in from the Minnesota Vikings shop. Standing outside up close you can see downtown Minneapolis reflecting against the glass facade.    From an urban planning standpoint I also rate it highly on its connectivity to the rest of downtown. Thanks to the open space of the adjacent Commons Park it is a landmark that the pedestrian can see from a distance. The neat thing is that the pedestrian has a few ways of reaching the stadium. They can walk on the street level in the shadow of the Minneapolis high rise canyons or through the Skyway system. I did it both ways. Minneapolis is the only city that I know of where you can walk a skyway from a Major League stadium at the northwest then immediately pass through an NBA Stadium and in less than an hour end up in an NFL stadium at the southeast. US Bank Stadium brings the newest addition of the Minneapolis skyway system from the heart of downtown to the stadium. Pedestrians can also arrive a few feet from the stadium by ways of the Metro train station. Of course there are parking garages in the vicinity. I give US Bank Stadium high ratings on connectivity.    When I hiked outside the stadium, it was around the southeasternmost landmark in downtown Minneapolis. This is an edge location in downtown where you can capture a mesmerizing vista of the Downtown skyline. I give kudos to the adjacent Commons Park which provides a green carpet between the stadium and the downtown skyline. When walking around the stadium the eye candy was at the northwest facing side. This includes the transparent facade visible from several blocks away. This also includes the Medtronic Plaza. The heart of this 3 acre Plaza is a Vikings ship. I love when professional teams keep with the theme. This Vikings ship is a mini Landmark of its own. It is 160 foot long with a 55 foot tall sail incorporated from a video board. Bridging Medtronic Plaza to the neighborhood south of the stadium is a multi use paved trail alongside the far less captivating south facade of the stadium. In the height of summer the trail's landscaping was in bloom. You can add bicycling as another way to reach the stadium.   Regardless that the Minnesota Vikings have yet to win the Super Bowl in their new home, US Bank Stadium would win the Super Bowl in Urban Planning stadia if there was such a thing. I am a fan.

What can I say, when you compare it to the Metrodome, this place is going to be an upgrade. I have a special place in my heart for the iconic blimp Metrodome, but nostalgia aside, this place is way nicer. It is a great place to showcase the talents of our good ol' Vikings. SKOL! I haven't been here for any kind of concert, just football and monster truck racing. The stadium itself is very beautiful, lots of natural lighting and neat designs. Seats are not terrible, more comfortable than other ones I have been in and the layout gives pretty much every seat a great view. The food choices are pretty good as well. Lots of craft beer, unique snacks and quick foods that will give even the pickiest people something to try. Everything is pretty spendy but that can be expected when you come to a place like this so tailgate beforehand or get ready to open up your wallet. The hospitality team is top notch here and access to bathrooms, nursing stations, etc. is well within reach and not hard to find with plenty to go around so that I can dodge missing a crucial play because I was in line to pee. The one thing that annoys me is that even though this place has been opened for over a year, they still don't understand crowd management. I was at the Vikings vs. Ravens game this year and I missed the first 6 minutes of the game waiting to get into the stadium. I was there an hour early but the lines were so backed up I missed the first half of the first quarter. Not acceptable from any sports venue. I understand if I show up like 10 minutes beforehand I am going to miss some of the game, but not an hour early. Next time, they can give me 15% off my ticket for making me miss 15% of the game.

Nice tour. A tad expensive at $21, but it is 90 min and you get 10% off merchandise at the end with your ticket. Our tour guide was an older gentleman and he did a great job. Good sense of humor. Knew many facts about the new, large, expensive stadium.

Best stadium I have been to, this place is awesome and a great designed facility. I really enjoyed my time here. Not sure why the ratings are so low, that's a joke. This is a well put together building with tons to be proud of. I both watched a game here and did a walking tour, I'm very impressed with what I saw. The video boards are giant, I felt I could see all the action no matter what. Tons of tv's on the concourse as well. The stadium food has great option, should be able to find some unique food. The seating is spacious and wasn't too crowded compared to some places. Getting in and out was easier than some places. Overall this is an amazing stadium, you should enjoy any event or game here.

I wasn't at US Bank Stadium for a Vikings game, but I was there back in the summer of 2019 to volunteer for a National Youth Gathering. There were events at US Bank Stadium each night from the gathering that took place at US Bank Stadium. Being inside US Bank Stadium, I'm not going to lie, it's awesome! It's a spacious stadium, it looks like people can be seated comfortably, and you get a nice view of downtown Minneapolis from the stain glass roof on top of the stadium. US Bank Stadium has a unique design, but in a way the way it was designed is genious. You're indoors, but still get an outdoors feel because you can still see the outside and the sun comes in when it's nice outside. It doesn't really feel like you're inside a dome stadium. I also like the area outside of the stadium. I think it's called The Commons area. Looks like it would be a nice area to tailgate before a Vikings game. I had a fun time at this stadium during the week of the gathering. I hope to visit US Bank Stadium again at some point for a 49ers-Vikings game. I'm a 49er fan! But yes, the Vikings did a great job with this stadium!

A proud figure in downtown Mpls as it attracts major events. There is airport type security in two levels before entering which is necessary in our times. The concourses are wide for keep-to-the-right two lanes of traffic. If you plan to feed a family from the concessions bring a load of cash or have some space on your credit card. The arena is impressive even with the dark curtains installed for the Final Four.

This is a really nice stadium with decent food and the only Caribou Coffee with spiked coffee or hot chocolate (Irish coffee anyone?). It's clean, the restrooms are always clean, just a nice stadium in general. I come here for Vikings games, so it's loud. REALLY LOUD. But I expect that at a sporting event. It's also really crowded. Amazingly the restrooms don't ever seem to have long lines, which I appreciate. I've attended other events held in the Delta Club which is really nice. That event was a corporate event, so the catering and everything was topnotch.

US Bank Stadium is a huge, beautiful domed entertainment complex located near Downtown Minneapolis. You can't miss the gigantic black, spaceship looking building. It is about a mile away from all the hotels and can accessed by both the light rail and the pedway. There is affordably priced parking ($20 when I went for an event) and there is tons of traffic patrol to help you get in and out. The place is huge and was built to house Viking football games. There are some pretty cool pieces of memorabilia around the stadium and tributes to famous Viking players. I was able to go around the whole stadium and got to see a bunch of the backstage area. It is gigantic, but the whole place was very clean. The huge jumbotron ensures that you don't miss a minute of the action. I attended the Xgames and had a great time. Staff and security were all friendly and helped us get around to all the events. They put on an amazing show and I really enjoyed myself. Concessions were good and reasonably priced. Check this place out - it is a sight to behold!

So "The Bank" had their first major event. AC Milan vs Chelsea and it was a sell out. The only problem is that the place seemed like a madhouse. The access in and out. Food stands running out of food. Lines, lines and more lines. Running out of hand soap in the men's bathroom. etc. etc. etc. I'm sure that management has a long list of things they are going to work on and I see it only getting better. For example, Rusty Taco on the third tier, ran out of fried chicken which caused a back-up and at one point, had a 25m wait once you put your order in. That's right. 25 minutes. I know many missed the kickoff because of that and if you paid $65 for a ticket, I would be pissed. Prices were also equally high for the food and it seemed like a disparity at how things were priced out. For example, If I go to a regular old Rusty Taco, my fried chicken taco is gonna be $2.50. At the stadium it is $4. No problem and I'm conditioned to the markup. But I walked past a place that was selling slices of pizza and they had a slice of cheese listed for $8.50. Really? Who ever came up with that price needs a drop kick to the 'nads cause that is insulting. $8.50 for a slice of cheese. Screw you for wanting to screw me. The building itself was quite impressive and I'm sure as things get worked out those bumps and warts will get sorted out. One issue someone had in my party is that when watching the game through the safety glass railings depending where the ball went on the field of play made it kind of weird. I too found myself watching the big screen to keep up with play and if you think about it, that makes the whole point of spending $65 to see a live event kind of stupid. I'm sure with a narrower field for American football, it won't be as big of an issue. And to the person running the big screen replays, you need practice or more knowledge of the game as there were things that happened that I wanted to see a replay of and you didn't show. Fouls, injuries, and even shots on goal or saves and instead you show a play from 5m's earlier. It felt odd and random and I didn't get it. If you are gonna have 2 big TV's in your stadium, work 'em like a TV. So Metallica and preseason for the Vikes are looming which will give more opportunity to improve. I think the Metallica concert would be good and it will be interesting to hear reviews of the sound quality considering the tin roof and all (it did look like there are sound panels hanging from the celing). But for those of you with Viking tickets you should be able to look forward to a rowdy environment with people more involved and boisterous versus a stadium that had 60,000 neutrals and that will be fun. Even the Chelsea fans behind the plaza end goal couldn't even muster up their their usual "Come on Chelsea! Come on Chelsea!...." repeat till bored chant. Wankers. But that's another story regarding my disdain for Chelsea and their fans and let me finish by saying that there is only one team in Fulham. COYW!!

Hands down best stadium I've ever been to. Not a bad seat in the house. Very clean and state of the art

I'm a big Vikings fan so I was excited to get to visit the new stadium. We had seats in the nosebleeds for the Colts game and our view was great despite how high up we were. The stadium itself is beautiful and very impressive. I appreciated the natural lighting from the glass ceiling (especially since we went during the polar vertex and hadn't felt warm sunshine in weeks). The huge screens throughout the building help keep you updated on the game from wherever you are. The one thing that sucked was that our seats were way too small/close together for comfort. I am pretty petite and still felt cramped. It was a pain getting in and out to re-up on snacks and beer. Speaking of snacks and beer... the options were plentiful and expensive! Beers will run you around $10 and we also sprung for some $15 bloody Mary's. There are lots of beer guys and bars/drink stands throughout. Most of the flagship food options are on the first level which was a pain for me to get to from the 3rd level, partly because all the corridors seem painfully crowded. I wish they were a bit wider or that I was at a less sold out event! I tried the Smokey Chicken Nachos and Jerk Bacon Sammie from the foodie stand, a couple tacos from R Taco, and the Revival chicken sandwich. The standout by far were the nachos. There are so many more things I wanted to try, but I'll need to save some money up before I make it back to USBank Stadium!
