MINNEAPOLIS — Workers are putting the finishing touches on the new, $1.1 billion home of the Minnesota Vikings, which will begin hosting athletic matches and concerts this summer.
Ninety-five percent of U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis is complete, and Mortenson Construction expects to have the stadium move-in ready in early June, the Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/20NY4Zq) reported. Mortenson executive Eric Grenz told the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which is overseeing construction of the stadium, on Friday that only $40 million in work remains.
With most of the construction work done, the meeting focused on concession signs, personnel matters and hiring around-the-clock staff for the building.
