The Vikings’ website released the following:
The Vikings announced Thursday results of the 2024 “Voice of the Fan” NFL-wide survey, which ranked the Vikings and U.S. Bank Stadium as the best in “Overall Game-Day Satisfaction” last season. The team set an NFL record with the highest score the league’s ever recorded in the overall category.
This is how the stadium finished in nine game-day categories:
- Overall (1st)
- Arrival (5th)
- Departure (3rd)
- Food & Beverage (5th)
- Game Entertainment (1st)
- Game-Day Staff (2nd)

- Crowd Energy (3rd)
- Family Friendly (1st)
- Game Breaks (4th)
- Halftime (8th)
- Pregame: Commons Park (5th)
- Pregame: On-Field (2nd)

And for game-day staff, U.S. Bank Stadium again received high marks across the board.
- Overall (2nd)
- Food & Beverage Staff (2nd)
- Gate Entry Staff (2nd)
- Guest Services Staff (2nd)
- Parking Lot Staff (3rd)

U.S. Bank Stadium opened in 2016. The Vikings are 48-25 in regular-season games and 1-1 in playoff games, including the memorable “Minneapolis Miracle” game.
For those who attended games at the Metrodome, it’s quite an accomplishment to see a Vikings stadium ranked first in anything. But if you’ve been to older stadiums in the past few years, it’s obvious just how far ahead U.S. Bank Stadium is compared to most of the league.
The “Skol Chant” gets fans amped after a fantastic “Showtime” pregame presentation that would leave fans foreign to football, believing they’re about to witness a concert.
Now we wonder what the Vikings and U.S. Bank Stadium do in 2025 to up the ante.
