U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis stands on the site of the former Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. HKS designed it, and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority owns it, with ASM Global as operator. Groundbreaking was on December 3, 2013, and it opened on July 22, 2016. The article names no architectural style, but says the roof design draws on Nordic vernacular architecture.
The stadium is indoor, with a slanted, skylit roof of ETFE plastic, reflective glass walls and operable glass wall panels. The roof covers 240,000 square feet and is described as the largest of its kind in North America. Capacity is usually 66,860 and can expand to 73,000. There are 131 executive suites.
Field distances run from 300 to 400 feet. The article gives no ticket details or hours.
