New Vikings Stadium Grand Opening Open House This Weekend

We've seen it slowly taking shape in downtown Minneapolis over the past couple of years. We've heard various reports of how far along the construction process has progressed. And now, we'll finally be able to see the inside of the new US Bank Stadium.

That's right, in case you hadn't heard, the official Grand Opneing Open House for the new billion dollar home of the Vikings takes place this Saturday and Sunday. And, according to the Vikings website, there's a bunch of stuff going on in and around the new stadium.

The site says that in addition to being able to head inside and check things out, "Outdoor events will feature a large range of family-friendly activities including a playground on the plaza, a 3-D chalk art installation, live music from local bands, giant-sized Connect Four and Jenga, and movies in the park each day."

The Open House is set to run from 9a to 6p on Saturday and again from 10a to 5p on Sunday. You don't need a ticket to check out the activities on the plaza outside, but you DO need a ticket (even though they're free) to get inside. Some times are already getting full, so if you're planning on heading up there, click HERE to get tickets!
