US Bank Stadium

The U.S. Bank Stadium is a large, enclosed structure that stands where Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome was before it closed in 2013. The new build opened in 2016 and is around three times as large as the average indoor venue, it can accommodate up to 73,000 people depending on the type of event.

An angular building covered in tinted glass windows, U.S. Bank Staidum has a modern, sleek feel inspired by Nordic architecture. With a reported budget of around $1.06 billion dollars – $348 million coming from the state, $150 million coming from the city, and $551 million coming from private donations – it is a huge investment for all Minnesotans. It was designed to hold the largest crowds for the most monumental sporting events, from Super Bowls to NCAA Final Fours to ESPN X Games and beyond. The roof alone is 240,000 square feet, an indictor of the massiveness of the build, and specially designed to withstand the Midwest’s heavy snowfalls.

Unsurprisingly, this venue is popular for its sporting events. It is home to the Minnesota Vikings (NFL), and it hosts most early season baseball games from local universities, including the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA). Occasional concerts fill the venue, mainly large touring groups that bring together several big-name stars, such as The Stadium Tour with Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett and The Blackhearts or the country star trio George Strait, Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton. For people who appreciate the bigger is better attitude and for people who want to experience a knock-out night with an avalanche of big-name entertainers, the performances at US Bank Stadium are the perfect choice.

Some proponents of US Bank Stadium have critiqued its lack of environmental concern. For example, national conservation groups have critiqued the excess glass and glare on such a large building, citing damage to local wildlife, especially birds, that crash into the building. Despite these concerns, efforts have been made to cut back on the carbon footprint, invest in renewable energy, and gain a Bike Friendly Business certification, which are steps in the right direction. With a number of engineering and architecture awards under its belt, US Bank Stadium is making a good name for itself and the city of Minneapolis.
