The
Hubert H. Humphrey
Metrodome
, commonly called the
Metrodome
, is a domed sports
stadium
located in downtown
Minneapolis
,
Minnesota
, United States. Opened in 1982, it replaced
Metropolitan Stadium
, which was on the current site of the
Mall of America
in
Bloomington
, and
Memorial Stadium
on the
University of Minnesota
campus. Since 1982, the Metrodome has been the current home to the
National Football League
‘s (NFL)
Minnesota Vikings
, who have used the name
Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome
for the venue since October 5, 2009. The stadium was also the home of
Major League Baseball
‘s (MLB)
Minnesota Twins
from 1982 to 2009, the
National Basketball Association
‘s (NBA)
Minnesota Timberwolves
in their 1989-1990 inaugural season, and the
Golden Gophers
football and baseball teams. It was also the home for the
Minnesota Strikers
of the
North American Soccer League
in 1984.
The stadium has a
fiberglass
fabric roof that is self-supported by air pressure, and is the second major sports facility to have this feature (the first being the
Pontiac Silverdome
). The Metrodome is similar in design to the former
RCA Dome
and to
BC Place
before that stadium was reconfigured with a retractable roof. The Metrodome was reputedly the inspiration for the
Tokyo Dome
. The stadium is the only facility to have hosted a
Super Bowl
(
1992
),
World Series
(
1987
,
1991
),
MLB All-Star Game
(
1985
), and
NCAA Division I Basketball Final Four
(
1992
,
2001
).
After a 2010 winter storm collapsed the Metrodome’s roof, many of the stadium’s tenants began looking for new venues to relocate to. In 2010, the Twins moved into the newly built
Target Field
, which had been under construction since 2007. The Metrodome is the
ninth-oldest stadium in the NFL
and will be replaced in the same location by a new
Vikings Stadium
by 2016; the Vikings will play at
TCF Bank Stadium
during construction. Locally, the Metrodome has several nicknames such as “The Dome”,
“The Thunderdome”, and “The Homer Dome”. It is scheduled to be demolished in February 2014. The roof will be deflated for the final time on January 18, 2014.
