Vikings rank 1st in fan survey

The Minnesota Vikings have a phenomenal stadium in U.S. Bank Stadium. Not only is it built in the shape of a Viking ship, but it provides an incredible gameday atmosphere. It's so good that the Vikings finished first in the NFL's Voice of the Fan survey.

The Vikings put out a press release on the achievement and Chief Operating Officer Andrew Miller had some positive comments.

“These incredible rankings reflect the dedication, energy and commitment of our entire staff as well as the collaboration with the MSFA, ASM, Aramark and all of our stadium partners,” said Vikings Chief Operating Officer Andrew Miller. “We always seek to provide a world-class experience for Vikings fans, who we believe are the most passionate fans in the NFL, and we’re honored they rated their experience positively with such record-breaking marks.”

The press release also included the rankings across the board for the survey.

  • Overall (1st)
  • Arrival (5th)
  • Departure (3rd)
  • Food & Beverage (5th)
  • Game Entertainment (1st)
  • Gameday Staff (2nd)
  • Mobile Ticketing (12th)
  • Security (6th)
  • Stadium Technology (9th)

"We couldn't achieve these results without the fantastic game day staff members who embody our SKOL Service philosophy,” said Vikings Vice President of Stadium Operations J.P. Paul via press release. “This recognition is a testament to their dedication and commitment to creating memorable experiences for Vikings fans at U.S. Bank Stadium."

There's a reason the Vikings have a great home-field advantage and the fanbase emphasizes it.
