US Bank Stadium Just Ranked One of the Best Football Stadiums in the Country
Even if you aren't a Minnesota Vikings fan, I think we can all agree that US Bank Stadium is pretty BA. The way it's designed to look like a ship, the giant glass doors/windows that open up on a nice day, and the inside of the stadium in general, is awesome.
US Bank Stadium has been named one of the best football stadiums in the US multiple times, I believe. But this most recent study isn't based on the look of the stadium; there are many other factors that went into determining this ranking.
