The two climbers, Sen Holiday and Karl Zimmermann, were arrested after the game ended and fans started to clear out after the Vikings victory. They spent the better part of the game hanging from the rafters, hanging from a banner that said “U.S. Bank Divest, NoDAPL” to encourage the bank to stop investing int he company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.
