Will there still be tailgating close to the stadium?
We know traditional tailgating is important for Vikings fans, and our goal is to ensure that it continues with the new stadium. While we have some time to develop those plans, we are already well underway working on this team priority. We recently completed an internal survey of Season Ticket Owners to better understand the approximate number of fans who tailgate. We have also been working with Impark, our game day parking operator, to identify parking lots throughout the downtown Minneapolis corridor as potential tailgate locations for the future. This report along with the survey will help shape our internal conversations, as well as our discussions with the City of Minneapolis officials, who agreed to address expanding the tailgate zone as part of stadium legislation.
The other interesting development is the two-block park included in the potential Ryan Companies project. A nine-acre park next to a two-acre plaza could create some unique tailgating opportunities that do not currently exist in other markets.
