Minnesota Vikings naming rights deal worth slightly less than San Francisco 49ers Levi's Stadium deal

The Minnesota Vikings have sold naming rights to their new stadium. It brings back memories of the 49ers naming rights deal with Levi Strauss, but also older deals at Candlestick Park.

The Minnesota Vikings are in the process of building a new stadium, and there is now word on the naming rights for the facility. Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank has purchased the rights, at a cost of $220 million over 25 years. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2016, and later host Super Bowl LII in February 2018.

I bring this up because of the potential comparison with Levi's Stadium.
