Minnesota Vikings' US Bank Stadium ranked best in the NFL
The plaudits for the Vikings franchise continue to roll in, the latest being for U.S. Bank Stadium ranking as the best venue in the NFL.
According to The Athletic's NFL beat reporters, the Vikings' home stadium is far and away the best in the NFL. In a recent poll, over half of the 30 NFL reporters for The Athletic ranked U.S. Bank Stadium as their No. 1 NFL venue. The poll consisted of each reporter listing, in order, their top five stadiums and bottom five stadiums.
“I cannot think of another way to say this: U.S. Bank Stadium feels natural,” said The Athletic's Vikings reporter Alec Lewis. “And for a domed building, that is an incredible feat."
It's the second consecutive first place finish for the stadium in the outlet's rankings.
Since the previous poll, the NFL has seen the Rams and Chargers open the $5.5 billion SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and the Raiders debut the $1.9 billion Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, making the back-to-back No. 1 ranking even more impressive.
Lambeau Field came in at No. 3, with Detroit's Ford Field coming in at No. 14 and Chicago's Soldier Field rounding out the NFC North at No. 23.
