As fans already know, Minnesota won the rights to host Super Bowl LII in the futuristic U.S. Bank Stadium in 2018. However, now Minnesota Vikings fans hoping to attend the biggest game in football can circle a date on their calendar to prepare for the event. Super Bowl LII will take place on February 4, 2018.

"“While our bold new stadium plays host to the biggest event of the year, our community will host thousands of members of the media and more than a million visitors throughout the 10 days of festivities leading up to the Big Game,” Bausch said."
It would be an absolute dream for the Minnesota Vikings to be a part of Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018 and it would be even more fantastic if the team were able to walk out with a victory. But even if the Vikings can’t be a part of the event, the game should be fantastic as it will pit the best team in the NFC vs the best team in the AFC for the 52nd time in history and it will all take place inside the beautiful confines of U.S. Bank Stadium.
