Vikings Voyage Provides Fans With Interaction, History At U.S. Bank StadiumFans attending Vikings events at U.S. Bank Stadium will have the opportunity to interact in a 10,000-square foot space located directly above the Vikings Locker Room Store in the building's northwest corner. The Vikings Voyage unites tradition and technology, providing fans a glimpse of the past with a larger than life sculpture of the Purple People Eaters steps from interactive competition stations.

Wearing RFID silicon bracelets, fans will have the opportunity to track their scores in a variety of interactive drills, including shuttle runs, vertical jumps and blocking sled tackling impact. Participants will be able to compete head-to-head against friends and leaderboards will measure top overall scores.

Privately funded by the Vikings and the Wilf family, the Voyage will provide fans with plenty of dynamic visual displays. A ship hull featuring a 27-foot video board provides fans with historical footage on modern technology. The first ever transparent uniform OLED in an NFL stadium will be located inside the Voyage, allowing Vikings fans an opportunity to learn more about the team's current uniform and pads. 

"As an organization, we constantly look to innovate and provide the best fan experience possible, and our approach was no different with the addition of the Vikings Voyage," said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. "The Voyage will bring fans together, allowing them to engage with their family and friends while celebrating Vikings history." 

Mortenson Construction Finishing U.S. Bank Stadium Prior To Grand Opening

Earlier today, Mortenson Construction Senior Vice President John Wood provided the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority with one final construction update before the stadium's doors open next week. The message was simple – U.S. Bank Stadium will be finished within the week.

When Substantial Completion was declared on June 17, the stadium had nearly 5,000 items left on its punch list. That list now stands between 150-200 items according to Wood, most of which are minor details that will be finalized by next week's grand opening. Wood stated that the goal from the beginning of the project was to make sure that there was no work left to be done when the stadium officially opens and that Mortenson continues on that pace.
