The Minnesota Vikings’ home, U.S. Bank Stadium, can seat exactly 66,655 fans. That might sound like a gigantic number, but it’s actually in the bottom-third of all NFL stadiums. Knowing that the team’s following is much larger than that 66,655, the Vikings have come up with a new way of bringing fans “inside” the stadium. They are becoming the first NFL team to launch a VR application for Oculus.
In creating the app, the Vikings partnered with the Silicon Valley-based Zeality, which specializes in 360 VR and has previously partnered with the San Jose Sharks on an Oculus app.
