    U.S. Bank Stadium weather FAQs

    No. The roof is fixed, with large translucent panels that admit daylight. The playing environment is climate controlled.

    Not on the field. Minneapolis can be far below freezing outside while the game itself is played in controlled indoor conditions.

    Late-season Minneapolis regularly sits below 20°F (-7°C), and January can be below zero with wind chill. That affects travel and tailgating, not the game.
