Construction of the Minnesota Vikings new stadium is more than halfway done.
The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority and the Vikings said Monday US Bank Stadium is 65 percent complete and a year away from being finished.
More than 1,200 people are involved in the construction project and so far, $550 million of work has been done on the $1 billion stadium. One of the largest cranes in the world was used on the project, but its work is done and it's being dismantled and shipped in a couple of weeks.
The stadium in downtown Minneapolis will be home not only to the Vikings but to a wide range of events, including the Super Bowl in 2018 and the NCAA Men's Final Four in 2019.
