Turf Goes Down At U.S. Bank Stadium

Another milestone moment at U.S. Bank Stadium is currently underway as 3.03 acres of artificial turf is being installed. In total, it will take three to four weeks to finish the installation of the UBU Sports’ Speed Series S5-M synthetic turf, which began this past Monday.

The turf features removable active panels (RAPs) that will help when the venue hosts a multitude of events. The Vikings Norseman at midfield and the end zones are made up of the RAPs, which will allow them to be replaced by neutral green turf panels for non-Vikings sporting events.
