MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Security was noticeably tighter at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday after a tumultuous week for the organization that runs it.
The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority announced just five days ago they were terminating their contract with Monterrey Security, the group who previously ran much of the security at the stadium.
An internal investigation found the company double-billed the stadium, failed to properly do background checks and hired some workers with criminal records. The decision gave officials less than a week to hire staff for today’s Vikings game.
They did it, and fans noticed a difference.
