Club Overview

The Minnesota Vikings were founded in 1961 as the league’s 14th team, an expansion franchise. After winning a league title following the 1969 season, the club reached the Super Bowl four times — after the 1970, 1974, 1975, and 1977 seasons — but lost every time and has yet to win a championship.

The Minnesota Vikings are an NFC North franchise based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, also known for having reached the Super Bowl four times without ever winning it.

Seating Guide

U.S. Bank Stadium is a fixed-roof dome connected to downtown by indoor skyways, making travel convenient even in bitter cold.

Tickets

Official tickets are available at vikings.com.

Food Guide

Downtown Minneapolis offers everything from upscale steakhouses to vegan cafes.

Cheer Culture

The “Gjallarhorn,” the Norse mythological horn said to announce the arrival of the gods, has sounded before kickoff since 2007. In 2016, with the opening of U.S. Bank Stadium, the “Skol” chant — inspired by Iceland’s national soccer team — was introduced, and the two traditions now blend together on game days.

💡 Insider Tips

🚌 Getting There

The METRO Blue/Green light rail lines run directly to the stadium’s own station ($2). Downtown skyways (indoor walkways) let you get around on foot even in rain or bitter cold.

🏨 Where to Stay

Downtown Minneapolis hotels connected to the skyway are convenient. The Radisson RED Minneapolis Downtown sits literally across the street from the stadium, and the Marquette Hotel also connects directly via skyway, so you never have to step outside in winter.

🎟️ Tickets

Thanks to the enclosed dome, sellouts are somewhat less frequent than at outdoor stadiums, so seats can often still be found on the official site.

🗺️ Nearby Sightseeing

The Mall of America (directly connected by light rail, with 400+ stores and an indoor amusement park) pairs naturally with a game visit, letting you combine shopping and football in one trip.

🎁 Club Perks

No specific Korean connection has been confirmed.
