Getting to U.S. Bank Stadium
Minnesota Vikings · Minneapolis, MN
U.S. Bank Stadium has its own light rail stop, served by both METRO lines — the same pair that serve Target Field a mile away, which makes Minneapolis unusually well connected for two venues in one downtown. The stadium publishes no driving route, relying instead on highway and street-level signage to route arriving traffic to whichever lot has space.
Tips & Fan Reports
There are plenty of options for pregame drinks and food within walking distance of the stadium no matter what the weather. Check the Vikings website for the bag information before you go.
There is no published driving route — follow the signage, which is updated to show which lots have space.
The same two lines serve Target Field, so one ticket covers a trip taking in both venues.
U.S. Bank Stadium Station is the stadium's own light rail stop, on both the Blue and Green Lines.
Metro Transit trip planning is on 612-373-3333.
Ways In
- Driving
- The stadium is at 401 Chicago Avenue. It publishes no interstate route or exit: the guidance is that highway and street-level directional signage displays parking lot options as you approach, and to use a mapping app for the route itself.
- Public Transit
- The METRO Blue and Green Lines both run directly to the U.S. Bank Stadium Station from Minneapolis, St. Paul and Bloomington. Metro Transit also runs more than 123 interconnected bus routes across the Twin Cities, with main routes reaching the stadium and downtown Minneapolis directly.
- Rideshare
- Uber and Lyft are widely available in the Twin Cities. Designated pickup/dropoff zones are on the east side of the stadium. From MSP airport, expect $20-30 and 15-20 minutes. From suburbs (Edina, Plymouth, Bloomington), expect $15-25. Post-game surge pricing is common. Walk to a downtown bar and wait 15 minutes.
