35W alert
The Vikings are encouraging fans attending the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons to plan for the weekend closure of Interstate 35W and Highway 62.
According to Mn/DOT, as part of the I-35W/Hwy 62 Crosstown Reconstruction project, all lanes of I-35W from I-94 to Hwy 62/Crosstown and westbound Hwy 62 from Cedar Ave/Hwy 77 to Lyndale Avenue S will be closed from approximately 10:00 p.m. Friday through 5:00 a.m. Monday.
To that end, the Vikings offered the following tips:
• Arrive downtown early and enjoy tailgating with fellow Vikings fans on the Vikings official
tailgating lots adjacent to the west side of the Metrodome. Spaces cost $40 on the day of the
game (www.vikings.com/fanstailgatingevents.aspx).
• Fans arriving early can also partake in pre-game festivities, including the Miller Lite Party on
the Plaza, which will open at 8:30 a.m. to accommodate early fans, the Red Bull TNT
Freestyle Motocross Demo with shows at 10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., and free Adrian Peterson
photo cards given out to the first 2,500 fans on the plaza. Fans are also encouraged to be in
their seats by 11:45 a.m. to watch the “Heroes Day” presentation, which will include a video
tribute.
• Follow the official posted detours as they will provide the quickest alternate route into
downtown.
• Carpool, use the light rail and other public transportation, whenever possible.
• Park in the warehouse district of downtown Minneapolis and ride the light rail to/from the
game.
• Fans traveling from the south should use Hwy 100 North or Hwy 169 North to I-394 East into
downtown.
