The Home Arena of Vikings

For the period 1961-1981, Metropolitan Stadium had been the home stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. In 1982, Vikings started playing their home games in Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Since then, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has been the home arena of the team. As per the capacity of the stadium, it can accommodate a maximum of 64,111 Vikings Football Tickets. Besides being the home stadium of the Vikings, the stadium has also been the home arena for Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA baseball- 1st half of season 1985- present).

The stadium opened its door for hosting various games and events on April 3, 1982. It was constructed with a cost of approximately $68 million. From 1982 to 1986, the stadium had a SuperTurf surface. For the period 1987 - 2003, it had an AstroTurf surface. Since 2004 to present, the stadium has a FieldTurf surface. The stadium is also popular with several nicknames, such as The Metrodome, The Homerdome, The Thunderdome, and The Humpty Dump. However, Vikings are now looking for a new home stadium.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome is a one of its kind sports arena in the United States of America in the sense that it does not rely on a continuing tax subsidy to finance debt payments, maintenance, or operations.
