Sensory help, in the stadium's words

“A Sensory Room is located on the Upper Concourse near the southwest escalator behind section 346.”

“The sound-protected space includes a sensory active wall display, sensory toys, low lighting, bean bag chairs and sensory bags.”

“For our sensory-sensitive guests, we recommend visiting a Guest Services Booth for earplugs or sensory kits.” usbankstadium.com

  • The room is staffed by two licensed behavioral specialists at every Vikings home game. For concerts and other events, call 612-777-8777 to ask whether it's open.
  • There's no stepping outside for air: you can't leave and come back on the same ticket, so the Sensory Room is your break spot inside.
  • Strollers aren't allowed, and bags must be clear and no bigger than 12 x 6 x 12 inches. Medically necessary items are allowed after inspection at a gate set aside for them.
