MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Minnesota is home to six major professional sports teams.
And two of our stadiums are considered among the best in the country.
The Sports Business Journal Awards named Target Center and U.S. Bank Stadium among the nominees for Sports Facility of the Year. U.S. Bank Stadium, the home field for the Vikings, opened in 2016.
The $1 billion stadium also hosted the Super Bowl, Summer X Games and will host next year's NCAA Final Four.
