3M Sensory Room Helps Inclusivity Effort

In partnership with the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) and KultureCity, the Minnesota Vikings have unveiled the 3M Sensory Room at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Designed by KultureCity, a nonprofit based in Birmingham, Alabama, the Sensory Room caters to fans with autism, Down syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, dementia and other conditions requiring a safe and soothing atmosphere.

Located on the Upper Concourse behind section 346, the space allows individuals, regardless of their ability, to enjoy amenities at U.S. Bank Stadium confidently, knowing they have a quiet space to retreat to for a break as needed.

The room is staffed with two licensed behavioral specialists from Fraser Pediatric Therapy for every Vikings home game and includes a sensory active wall display, sensory toys, low lighting, bean bag chairs, autism kits, 3M ear plugs and noise-cancelling headphones.

Also new in 2019, after games, fans will be able to find themselves in a stadium-wide photo, create a tag, make a digital postcard and share it on social media thanks to Fancam.

This unique experience is enabled by four remote-controlled HD cameras that take photos of the entire stadium bowl every 20 minutes.

Temporary cameras were installed for the final game of the 2016 regular season, but the cameras will be used throughout this season.

New Club Spaces

As an original 2016 U.S. Bank Stadium Founding Partner and one of the first casinos to ink an NFL partnership, Mystic Lake Casino Hotel has expanded its existing footprint and introduced the Little Six Casino’s Club Gold.

Located on the south side of U.S. Bank Stadium, Little Six Casino’s Club Gold includes a complete transformation with new photos, artwork and graphics. It also features a space that is dedicated for promotional giveaways and interactive activities.

The Polaris Club (formerly known as the Hyundai Club) on the stadium’s north side (visiting team sideline) has been redesigned to showcase new Polaris vehicles and offer fans unique engagement opportunities. Fan giveaways will take place inside the club during the Vikings home games.

CenturyLink, which is already providing an integrated IP network inside U.S. Bank Stadium that enables 1,300 Wi-Fi access points and allows stadium-wide Internet access, has introduced the CenturyLink Lodge and the CenturyLink Cabins, both located in the northeast corner of U.S. Bank Stadium.

Food and Beverage Additions

There are multiple new food and beverage offerings and expansions of service at U.S. Bank Stadium this fall.
