U.S. Bank Stadium

401 Chicago Ave · Minneapolis, MN

Why you should go…

Home of the Minnesota Vikings since 2016, U.S. Bank Stadium is known for its translucent ETFE roof and five giant pivoting glass doors. Public tours run 90 minutes and take you through the Vikings locker room, the Legacy Ship, the stadium art collection, premium clubs and suites, the field area and the press level. The slanted roof borrows from Nordic vernacular architecture, and the building hosted Super Bowl LII in 2018.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
