The Vikings have tossed their hat into the ring to host yet another Super Bowl, as well as an NFL draft — both national extravaganzas that bring in thousands of out-of-town visitors and millions of dollars.
Both events the Vikings are eyeing are years down the road, but the team had to submit its “expression of interest” to the NFL by an Aug. 9 deadline.
Touting their success at hosting Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium in 2018, the team and Twin Cities boosters believe they have a good shot at reeling in another major NFL event, and told the NFL they’re interested in becoming the site for the Super Bowl in 2028, 2029 or 2030.
