MINNESOTA VIKINGS ARE GETTING A NEW FOOTBALL STADIUM AND MAYBE A MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER TEAM


The Minnesota Vikings are getting a new football stadium in downtown Minneapolis. The 2013-2014 season was the last season in the Metrodome.

The Minnesota Vikings will play their games during the 2014 and 2015 seasons at TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota.

The new Vikings stadium will host the 2018 NFL Super Bowl at the new stadium.

According to Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “Members of the Vikings' ownership and front-office group on Tuesday were in Kansas City to peruse the city's Major League Soccer operation. The Vikings want an MLS franchise for their stadium, which will have a 60 percent transparent roof, that's to open in 2016. The MLS season runs from March 1 through November.”
