#4: U.S. Bank Stadium

The biggest story might not even be that there two teams going head-to-head during Sunday’s week 3 preseason contest. The headline might belong to the newly constructed U.S. Bank Stadium, where fans will get their first glimpse of the team in their new home.

Expect a ton of updates during the nationally televised program from Vikings media sources on many non-football related topics. Photos of things fans have already seen during tours, reports of the noise inside the stadium, and reports on the food and lines will only be some of the things we’ll hear about.

And while that all sounds kind of boring, we will love all the updates. Fans will eat up all the details about the new facility and get excited for this exhibition game and make fans even more hungry for regular season action.

The time spent in the Metrodome as well as TCF Bank Stadium were great, but we all knew it was just temporary. A new, futuristic home for a team on the rise is a fantastic thing that fans will all want to experience in the future.
