Where is the best parking near US Bank Stadium?
It depends on what has more value to you.
Namely, is it:
- Price?
- Or proximity?
In the event that your priority is to save a few bucks, then you can’t go wrong with Metro Ramp Garage.
This facility is .8 miles from US Bank Stadium (about a 17-minute walk), and parking for Minnesota Vikings games is as low as $5.
On the other hand, perhaps you don’t mind paying more for a spot that’s closer to the stadium. If that’s the case, then there are several locations that are just 2 minutes away for as little as $55.
In any event, it’s a win-win situation. Why?
Because there is no…
Onsite parking for US Bank Stadium
When we refer to “official” parking on this site, we’re talking about facilities that are authorized by the team.
To explain, this means either lots that are on stadium grounds (onsite parking) or partnering garages that are located nearby. Notably, US Bank Stadium does not have onsite parking.
So what?
So, this – finding parking near US Bank Stadium just got a whole lot easier – and cheaper.
To wit, deciding on stadium parking vs. offsite parking often hinges on whether or not you’ll be hosting a tailgate party. That is to say, most offsite parking facilities don’t permit tailgating.
Easier:
Well, that’s a moot point in Minnesota, as there’s no tailgating parking lots – official or otherwise – for Vikings games. What? No tailgating?!? Relax – all tailgating is done in the Vikings Tailgate Garden, located in the Commons Park just outside of the stadium.
In other words, since all game day parking is essentially offsite, the decision has already been made for you.
Cheaper:
Prior to the start of the 2022 regular season, the median price of the cheapest available official parking pass for US Bank Stadium was $95.
Generally speaking, that figure was the best price on secondary market ticket sites for the following parking facilities:
- 511 Surface Lot
- 1010 Ramp
- Downtown East Ramp
- HCMC Ramp
- Mills Fleet Farm Parking Garage
All things considered; 95 bucks isn’t bad at all. That figure is 20% below average and is just 18th-highest. But to reiterate, $95 represents the cheapest price. Indeed, the cost can easily escalate, depending on the game and facility.
Take for example, Mills Fleet Farm Parking Garage. As an added attraction, this facility is the only one that’s connected to US Bank Stadium (via skyway). Shown on the right is a sample listing for the Cardinals-Vikings game on 10/30/22.
By all means, you can do better.
