Parking Information

Event parking rates vary significantly based on the type of event (e.g., Vikings games, concerts, or youth sports). Rates typically range from $15 to $50 and up. These rates are determined by private garage operators and the City of Minneapolis, not the stadium itself. Consider one of the following recommended parking ramps:

• Stadium parking ramp: 740 S. 4th Street (skyway connected).
• Downtown East parking ramp: 755 S. Stamp. and 425 Park Avenue.
• Haaf parking ramp: 740 S. 4th Street and 224 S. 4th Street.
• Fleet Farm parking ramp: 740 S. 4th Street.

Families and groups are encouraged to make a plan on where to meet after the ceremony. The lobby and outside may likely be crowded and confusing. It's recommended to select an area outside of the stadium.
