Vikings Celebrate Construction Crew's 'Topping Out' of U.S. Bank Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS — As the Vikings, Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority and Mortenson Construction celebrated the “topping out” of U.S. Bank Stadium, the bottom fell out of the clouds.

The resulting rain didn’t dampen the celebration of what Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf said is a very exciting milestone.

Wilf was joined by his brother, Vikings Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf, family members and front office personnel who expressed congratulations and thanks to dedicated construction workers with a ceremony and catered lunch that featured grilled pork chops. In addition to the lunch, the Vikings provided 1,500 workers with knit hats, and Mortenson provided them with long-sleeve “topping out” T-shirts.
