MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) announced the opening of U.S. Bank Stadium Public Tours, a year-round, guided tour program for the community to explore the new home of the Vikings.

“U.S. Bank Stadium Tours include a behind the scenes look at the well-appointed clubs and suites, the press box, and the Minnesota Vikings Locker Room,” said Michele Kelm-Helgen, Chair of the MSFA.  

Tickets for U.S. Bank Stadium Tours will go on sale beginning Thursday, May 26 at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com, by phone at 1-800-745-3000, and at all Ticketmaster Outlets. The tours will begin Aug. 24 and cost $19 for adults.

“Well-informed tour guides will lead the exploration of the stadium, sharing facts and figures that highlight the Nordic-inspired architectural features, iconic ethylene-tetraflouroethylene (ETFE) roof structure and the signature glass pivoting doors," Kelm-Helgen said.

Public open house

A public Open House is being planned for Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 to celebrate the grand opening of U.S. Bank Stadium.

The two-day Open House is "family friendly and packed with activities for all ages," the MSFA stated. The Open House will also include a sneak peek of the main concourse, club space, and other interior stadium locations.

Tickets for the Open House are free to the public and will be made available through Ticketmaster at a later date.
