Protesters hang banner in rafters at Vikes game

Related Topics: Banner, Vikings

Hundreds of feet above the field in US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, two people unfurled a banner from the rafters in an apparent protest as the game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears went on.

The banner read, "Divest #NoDAPL" with the U.S. Bank logo above. While both people appeared to have safety ropes of some sort, one who was wearing a No. 4 Brett Favre Vikings uniform shimmied down the banner.

Play was not interrupted as the two people were suspended in air above section 120. Six rows of fans were cleared below the protesters.
