The Minnesota Vikings want to know how loud is loud at U.S. Bank Stadium.
“In our short stay so far, it’s been pretty good,” veteran linebacker Chad Greenway said.
The team has played three games in the huge new $1.1 billion arena, nearly twice the size of the Metrodome it replaced. The Vikings (5-2) won all three home games in resounding fashion, but after dropping the last two road games, coach Mike Zimmer said at his post-practice news conference Friday, “We need our fans to be loud.”
Anecdotal assessments by fans, journalists, coaches and players indicate it gets hard to hear everywhere in the stadium — from concourses to the field, seats and the press box.
