MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings will play at U.S. Bank Stadium for the first time on Sunday afternoon when the team hosts the San Diego Chargers in their nationally televised third preseason game. But while it's the first time the $1.1 billion stadium will stage an NFL game for its main tenant, it's already the fourth major event inside the facility's walls this month.
The stadium has hosted three events already, as a Chelsea-AC Milan friendly and concerts from Luke Bryan and Metallica have functioned as soft openings of sorts before the Vikings move in.
