About U.S. Bank Stadium

U.S. Bank Stadium is an enclosed stadium located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Built on the former site of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the indoor stadium opened in 2016 and is the home of the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).

The stadium features a fixed roof with 60% transparent ETFE plastic, the largest such roof in North America. This design allows for an outdoor feel and natural light while protecting fans from the harsh Minnesota winters. The massive pivoting glass doors at the west entrance are the largest in the world, opening to the downtown skyline.

The angular, Viking-ship inspired design is distinct and imposing. The "Gjallarhorn" is sounded before every game, energizing the crowd to perform the "Skol Chant." Hosting Super Bowl LII in 2018, it has set a standard for cold-climate stadiums by embracing the environment via transparency rather than hiding from it.

🛰️ Satellite Identification Tips

At zoom 16, U.S. Bank Stadium is a striking angular structure in downtown Minneapolis, immediately recognisable by its distinctive asymmetric sloped roof covered in ETFE transparent panels. The roof slopes dramatically from a high point on the west down to a low point on the east, creating a unique wedge shape from satellite. The transparent roof means the field may be faintly visible through the panels from above. The nearby Target Field (Twins baseball) is visible to the northwest. The Minneapolis skyline and the distinctive IDS Center tower provide context. The light rail line runs along the southern edge.

🌍 Did You Know?

U.S. Bank Stadium's roof consists of 240,000 square feet of ETFE (the largest transparent roof in the US), designed to let in natural light equivalent to being outdoors — however, birds have collided with the transparent panels at alarming rates, killing an estimated 500-1,000 birds annually and prompting calls for design modifications.
The stadium replaced the Metrodome, whose inflatable Teflon roof famously collapsed under the weight of 17 inches of snow in December 2010 — the dramatic footage of snow pouring onto the field during a live CBS broadcast became one of the most-watched sports clips of the year.
U.S. Bank Stadium hosted Super Bowl LII in 2018, where the Philadelphia Eagles won their first-ever Super Bowl — but the stadium's most iconic NFL moment is the 'Minneapolis Miracle,' Stefon Diggs's 61-yard walk-off touchdown against the Saints in the 2018 NFC Divisional playoff.
The stadium's angular, Viking-ship-inspired design by HKS Architects features five massive pivoting glass doors on the west end that can open to reveal views of downtown Minneapolis — each door is 55 feet wide and 75 feet tall, the largest operable glass doors in the world.
