MINNEAPOLIS -- State funding is official for anti-climb fencing around U.S. Bank Stadium.

On Wednesday, the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority approved nearly $13 million for the first phase of the Secured Perimeter Project.

That includes fencing around three-quarters of the building.

It's intended to increase security and public safety.

Construction is set to start later this month, and the fence isn't expected to be complete until 2024.
