Minnesota Vikings: Fans will be allowed to drink alcohol outside stadium
Fans of the Minnesota Vikings will now be able to drink alcohol outside of US Bank Stadium at Commons Park which will be great in case the season begins with no fans allowed.
At this point in time, the NFL will continue on as planned when it comes to the upcoming season. With the current pandemic that is happening across the globe, there might be a chance that regular-season games will be played without fans physically in attendance. Can you imagine the Minnesota Vikings playing a home game in US Bank Stadium and not a single fan will be in the stands to cheer them on?
It’s something that could be a reality due to safety protocols that the NFL might put into place to allow a safe experience for players, coaches, and team personnel. Luckily, the city of Minneapolis is preparing for such a situation by passing a new legislature that will allow the Vikings to sell alcohol outside of their stadium on game days at Commons Park.
In an article written by Rochelle Olson of Star Tribune, she confirmed that the Vikings will have the option to allow a fun, tailgating-inspired experience before the Vikings play at home in Minnesota. Fans will be able to hang out at Commons Park, drink alcohol, play fun tailgating games, and throw the football around just like before.
