MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Construction crews are nearing the home stretch in completing U.S. Bank Stadium as the final seats are being installed this week.
The Minnesota Vikings announced Tuesday that more than 58,000 fixed seats and nearly 6,000 retractable seats have been installed in the downtown Minneapolis stadium, which, at capacity, can hold more than 66,000 people.
Michele Kelm Helgen, the chair of the Minnesota Sports Facility Authority, said in a statement that the seating in U.S. Bank Stadium will have some of the best sightlines for football, as well as other events, like concerts.
