#VikingsBiggestFan Winners Experience VIP Treatment at Construction Site, Training Camp
Winners of U.S. Bank Stadium's #VikingsBiggestFan contest were treated to a VIP treatment yesterday that started with a tour of the construction site and ended with a meet-and-greet with Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway. The 50 winners were selected after submitting social media photos showing what makes them the #VikingsBiggestFan.
During the tour, fans were shown around the stadium, where construction is now over 65% complete. Following the inside look at U.S. Bank Stadium, fans were bussed to Mankato where they were able to take in the afternoon practice from the VIP Tent overlooking the practice fields. At the conclusion of practice, Greenway joined the fans to take photos and sign memorabilia. Each fan received a VIP Vikings Football as well as a U.S. Bank Stadium hard hat.
A new contest started earlier this week where the public can win an opportunity to see the first concert that will take place at the state-of-the-art stadium that will open next July.
