U.S. Bank Stadium is not just a location, but an epicenter of excitement, opportunity, and Minnesota pride. In its first three years of operation, the stadium welcomed 4.64 million visitors for more than 1,156 public and private events, and more than 177,141 guests toured the facility on nearly 7,000 tours.
U.S. Bank Stadium opened on July 22, 2016, with a two-day, public open house welcoming over 190,000 Minnesotans through its doors. The first event followed two weeks later on August 3, 2016 with the 2016 International Champions Cup pitting A.C. Milan against Chelsea.
The stadium boasts a lightweight translucent roof and glazed entrances with giant pivoting doors giving fans a view of downtown Minneapolis. The asymmetrical roof, is 60% covered with ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), a lightweight, transparent material that allows natural light to flood the interior, creating an open-air ambiance while protecting spectators from harsh weather conditions. The roof’s steep pitch facilitates efficient snow shedding, a crucial feature given Minnesota’s heavy snowfall. Additionally, the ETFE roof contributes to energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial lighting and heating
The iconic west entrance features the Legacy Gate, comprising five massive pivoting glass doors, each ranging from 75 to 95 feet in height. These doors, the largest of their kind globally, can open to connect the interior with an adjacent urban plaza, also enhancing the stadium’s integration with downtown Minneapolis
The stadium features seven levels of seating, including 135 suites and six private club lounges . For larger events such as the Super Bowl, concerts, or international soccer matches, the stadium can be expanded to accommodate up to 73,000 attendees
