One-Year Remains: Stadium Time Lapse
With just one year left on the project, this week the Vikings and EarthCam released a stadium construction time lapse showing the progress to date. On Monday, Mortenson Construction, HKS, the Vikings and the MSFA gave media the latest look at the site, while U.S. Bank and the Vikings celebrated the one-year milestone by serving lunch to approximately 1,200 construction workers, all of whom received Vikings-U.S. Bank Stadium-themed hard hats.* *
