Getting back after the event

After a night game or concert, take the light rail from U.S. Bank Stadium Station, next to the stadium. On the current schedule (same every day), the last trains from the station are: Blue Line toward the airport and Mall of America 11:25 pm; Green Line toward St. Paul 11:29 pm; Green Line toward Target Field 11:54 pm; Blue Line toward downtown/Target Field 12:42 am. Metro Transit does not publish extra post-event trains on its stadium page. If you miss them: rideshare, or the taxi stand on Park Ave S (open up to one hour after the event).

Mode	What runs after events
Light rail	Blue Line toward MSP Airport and Mall of America: late departures from U.S. Bank Stadium Station at 10:12, 10:47 and 11:25 pm (last). The 11:25 pm train reaches Terminal 1 at 11:44 pm and Mall of America at 11:57 pm. [source]
Light rail	Blue Line toward downtown and Target Field: trains until 12:42 am (late departures 11:12, 11:34 pm, 12:04 and 12:42 am). [source]
Light rail	Green Line toward St. Paul (Union Depot): late departures 10:37, 11:01 and 11:29 pm (last). Toward Target Field: last at 11:54 pm. [source]
Bus	Vikings games only. MVTA buses leave the Gateway Ramp (400 S 3rd St) 45 minutes after the game ends, back to Shakopee and Burnsville. SouthWest Transit return shuttles pick up where they dropped off, usually 30 minutes after the event ends. [source]
Rideshare	Zone given as 10th Ave S between 6th and 7th Streets S (A-Z guide), or 9th Ave S between 6th and 7th Streets S and 3rd St between Park and Portland Aves (directions page). Follow signs on the night. [source]
Taxi	Taxi stand on the east side of Park Ave S between 5th and 6th Streets S; open up to one hour after the event ends. [source]

If you miss itAfter the last train in your direction, use rideshare or the taxi stand on Park Ave S (it closes one hour after the event). If you drove, ramps close three hours after the game or at midnight, whichever is first. Light rail closures can cut service short: at a Sunday night Vikings game in 2021, trains from U.S. Bank Stadium Station ended at about 11:30 pm, so check Metro Transit alerts on the day. There is no late train to the northwest suburbs: Northstar no longer runs, and the Route 888 bus has its last weekend trip from downtown (2nd Ave and 11th St) at 10:10 pm (7:10 pm on weekdays).

Getting there

Public transit

METRO Blue Line and Green Line light rail both stop at U.S. Bank Stadium Station, right outside the stadium. Several Metro Transit bus routes also stop nearby, and suburban agencies run game-day buses for Vikings games.

Blue Line: from Mall of America, MSP Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 stations) and south Minneapolis to U.S. Bank Stadium Station.
Green Line: from St. Paul and University Avenue to U.S. Bank Stadium Station. Bus routes 21, 63, 65, 67, 84, 87 and the METRO A Line connect to the Green Line with a free transfer.
Buses that stop at or near the stadium: routes 3, 5, 7, 9, 14, 22, METRO C Line, METRO D Line and METRO Orange Line.
Park and ride: about 2,600 free spaces along the Blue Line at 30th Avenue and Fort Snelling stations.
Metro Transit suggests an All-Day Pass (ticket machine or Metro Transit app) so the ride home is already paid; it is valid until 2 a.m. the next day.
Vikings games only: SouthWest Transit runs buses from Chaska (East Creek), Chanhassen (SouthWest Village) and Eden Prairie (SouthWest Station); MVTA runs buses from Shakopee and Burnsville to the Gateway Ramp.
Northstar commuter rail no longer runs. Metro Transit Route 888 buses now serve the former Northstar stops in Ramsey, Anoka, Coon Rapids and downtown Minneapolis.

Rideshare (Uber, Lyft)

The official pages disagree on the rideshare zone. The stadium's and the Vikings' A-Z guides give 10th Avenue S between 6th and 7th Streets S; the stadium's directions page and the Vikings' pick-up page give 9th Avenue S between 6th and 7th Streets S, plus 3rd Street between Park and Portland Avenues. Follow on-site signs.

Taxi stand: east side of Park Avenue S between 5th and 6th Streets S. It runs through the event and stays open up to one hour after it ends.
No pick-up or drop-off within the 100-foot perimeter around the stadium.
Hotel and restaurant shuttles use 9th Avenue S between 6th and 7th Streets S.
