US Bank Stadium holds 66,655 seats across all levels

US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis has a total seating capacity of 66,655. The stadium opened in 2016 as the home of the Minnesota Vikings and is also used for concerts, college football, and other events. The actual number of seats available for any given event can vary slightly depending on what is being held there and whether standing room or temporary seating has been added.

The seating is divided into three main levels: the lower bowl, club level, and upper deck. Each level has different sightlines, amenities, and price points. The configuration can change for different event types — a Vikings game uses the full capacity differently than a concert or a college football championship game might.

Key Takeaways

  • US Bank Stadium's total capacity is 66,655 seats across three levels of seating.
  • The lower bowl seats are closest to the field or stage and typically cost more than upper deck seats.
  • Club level seats include premium amenities like private lounges and better food and beverage options.
  • The actual number of available seats for your event depends on the type of event and any temporary configurations the stadium uses.

Lower bowl seating and sightlines

The lower bowl wraps around the field and contains the seats closest to the action. These seats offer the best views of the field or stage and are typically the most expensive. The lower bowl is divided into sections that run from one end zone to the other, with premium corner sections offering views of both the field and the scoreboard.

Lower bowl seats are numbered from the field outward, so lower section numbers put you closer to the field. The exact row and seat number tells you your specific location within each section. For Vikings games, lower bowl seats are popular for fans who want to see plays develop and hear the crowd energy.

Club level amenities and access

Club level seats sit between the lower bowl and upper deck and come with access to premium lounges, private restrooms, and dedicated food and beverage service. These seats cost more than standard lower bowl or upper deck seats but offer a different experience — less crowded facilities and often a quieter viewing environment.

Club level ticket holders can usually access climate-controlled club lounges before and during the event, with food and drink included or available for purchase. Some club sections have their own entrance to the stadium, which can mean shorter lines and easier entry. The sightlines from club level are generally good, though not as close to the field as lower bowl seats.

Upper deck sections and pricing

The upper deck is the third level and contains the most seats. Upper deck tickets are the least expensive option and offer a full view of the field or stage from a higher angle. The upper deck is divided into sections around the entire stadium, and seats farther from the corners or ends may have obstructed views of parts of the field.

Upper deck seats are popular for fans attending on a budget or for events where the view from higher up is actually preferable — some concerts, for example, have better sightlines from the upper deck than from seats directly below the stage. The upper deck also tends to have more availability for events that are not sold out.

How capacity changes by event type

The 66,655 figure is the standard capacity for Vikings games and most other events. However, the stadium can reconfigure seating for different purposes. For concerts, some seats may be removed to create floor standing room, which can actually increase total attendance capacity. For college football games, the configuration is usually the same as for Vikings games.

Some events may use only part of the stadium — a smaller concert or college game might not open the entire upper deck, which would reduce the available seats for that specific event. The stadium's website or the event promoter will list the actual capacity for the specific event you are interested in.

Accessible seating and companion spaces

US Bank Stadium has wheelchair accessible seating throughout all three levels, with companion seats for caregivers or family members. Accessible seats are distributed around the stadium rather than concentrated in one area, so there are options in different price ranges and with different sightlines.

If you need accessible seating, you can contact the Vikings ticket office or the event promoter directly. Accessible seats are often held and released closer to the event date, so availability may not show up in standard online searches. The stadium also has accessible parking, accessible restrooms, and other accommodations throughout the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lower bowl and club level seats?

Lower bowl seats are closer to the field and cheaper than club level. Club level seats come with access to premium lounges, private restrooms, and dedicated food service, but are farther from the field than lower bowl seats. Both offer better views than upper deck seating.

Can the stadium hold more than 66,655 people?

For some events like concerts, temporary standing room or floor seating can be added, which may increase total attendance beyond the standard 66,655 seat capacity. The actual capacity for any specific event depends on what is being held and how the stadium is configured for that event.

Are there obstructed view seats at US Bank Stadium?

Some upper deck seats, particularly those in corners or behind the stage for concerts, may have partially obstructed views. The stadium's seating map shows which seats have obstructed views, and those tickets are usually priced lower. You can check the specific sightline before buying.

How do I find out which seats are available for an event?

The Vikings website and most ticket vendors show a seating map for each event, with available seats highlighted. You can click on specific sections to see prices and sightlines. For non-Vikings events, the promoter's website or the ticket vendor will have the same information.
