Vikings Owners Zygi, Mark and Lenny Wilf, Gov. Mark Dayton, and Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee members Maureen Bausch, Richard Davis, Marilyn Carlson Nelson and Doug Baker joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday morning to pass the football to Atlanta officials who are now on the clock for Super Bowl LIII.
The transfer followed a successful 10-day festival that culminated with Sunday’s entertaining game between the Eagles and Patriots at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The marquee event, which was nearly four years in the making and involved three years of extensive planning, brought in nearly 6,000 media members from around the globe and gave Minnesotans a chance to showcase the way that people here embrace the cold, Bold North, and extend hospitality.
