Vikings Announce Exciting Stadium News on Thursday

The Minnesota Vikings enjoyed a resurgent 14-3 season led by AP Coach of the Year Kevin O’Connell and quarterback Sam Darnold’s breakout year. Meanwhile, Vikings fans enjoyed the NFL’s No. 1 ranked game-day experience. Per results of “Voice of the Fan,” a league-wide survey, the Vikings and U.S. Bank Stadium were rated the best in “Overall Game-Day Satisfaction” and set a record with the highest score ever given in the category. “The ‘Voice of the Fan’ survey measures NFL Season Ticket Member experiences and game attendees’ satisfaction with their game-day experience. Each team’s fans are surveyed throughout the regular season,” read the Vikings’ announcement.

Minnesota was rated by fans in the top 10 of eight of nine categories and improved from last year’s survey results in several areas, including Food & Beverage, Security, Game-Day Staff and Arrival & Departure.

“These incredible rankings reflect the dedication, energy and commitment of our entire staff as well as the collaboration with the MSFA, ASM, Aramark and all of our stadium partners,” said Vikings Chief Operating Officer Andrew Miller. “We always seek to provide a world-class experience for Vikings fans, who we believe are the most passionate fans in the NFL, and we’re honored they rated their experience positively with such record-breaking marks.” U.S. Bank Stadium, built on the former site of the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota, opened in July 2016. It has a maximum capacity of 73,000 patrons.

In addition to hosting NFL games, the venue also has hosted college basketball, soccer, baseball, college football, professional wrestling, concerts and more.
