Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS, MN

For the first time since the 1981 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings play all of their home games outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. The move from the Metrodome to TCF Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA), is for only two years as a new stadium, US Bank Stadium, is constructed on the same site as the Metrodome. This is not the first time the Vikings have played at TCF Bank Stadium. In December 2010 the team played one game here when the roof at the Metrodome collapsed under the weight of a massive snowstorm.

For 25 seasons the Golden Gophers shared the Metrodome with the Vikings and Minnesota Twins (MLB). They had previously played at Memorial Stadium, located on-campus, for 57 seasons. In 2000 the University of Minnesota began studying the idea of building a new stadium for the football program as the Metrodome lacked the atmosphere of an outdoor stadium, was off-campus and provided little revenue for the university. An initial proposal called for a shared stadium for the Golden Gophers and the Minnesota Vikings. This idea was scrapped because of problems over design and management of the stadium. In December 2003, the university unveiled plans for a new stadium to be built on campus, near the site where Memorial Stadium was located. Two years later, in 2005, TCF Financial Corporation bought the naming rights for $35 million over 25 years. Construction of TCF Bank Stadium began in July 2007. The $288.5 million stadium has a seating capacity of 50,300 that is expandable up to 80,000. TCF Bank Stadium features 39 luxury suites, 59 loge boxes and 300 indoor seats. It has a traditional college football stadium look with its horseshoe shaped grandstand that is open on the west end. The 48 feet high by 180 feet wide HD video/scoreboard is located here. Through the open west end, fans can see the campus of the University of Minnesota and the skyline of Minneapolis.

TCF Bank Stadium will be the home of the Vikings for two seasons during construction of their new $975 million stadium. The Vikings will pay the university $300,000 per game to use TCF Bank Stadium and paid $6.6 million to renovate TCF Bank Stadium for the NFL season. This includes a hydronic heated field, heating concession upgrades and 2,000 temporary bleacher seats. This increases the seating capacity to over 52,000.
