MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The former home of the Minnesota Vikings is being used to bring soccer to the Twin Cities in a unique way.
Lifetime Sport has reconfigured Winter Park into a state-of-the-art facility for soccer.
Twelve soccer fields outside and seven inside will be used for pick-up soccer games.
Lifetime is hoping to capitalize on the surge in soccer fans and players.
“It’s amazing to think that on these fields is where Vikings players have played over the past 35 years,” said Lifetime Sport CEO Stephanie Hu.
An area of old Winter Park, where Vikings fans would gather for draft parties, is now home to several soccer fields.
