Late in August, right before Vikings season kicks off, I headed out to get fresh photos of US Bank Stadium. This shot came from the grass mound at Commons Park, where the rise of the hill makes the stadium look like it's rising straight out of an open field. I was wrapping up for the night when the interior lights of the stadium started cycling through colors during a test, and I sped up my shutter just in time to freeze this one in purple.
I hope this piece brings a little of that Minneapolis pride into your space. Feel free to share it with anyone who loves US Bank Stadium and Vikings purple as much as I do.

This year, right before the Vikings season started, I made a point to go get fresh photos of US Bank Stadium. This particular night, I worked the perimeter, letting the light guide me from spot to spot, and finished up at the grass mound in Commons Park, a planned stop, since the rise of the hill makes the stadium look like it's standing in the middle of an open field instead of downtown Minneapolis.
I was getting ready to wrap for the night when the stadium's interior lights started cycling through colors, likely a test ahead of the season. I sped up my shutter to freeze each color before it shifted to the next, and came away with a handful of different looks. But there was only ever going to be one I led with: purple. Vikings purple, obviously. A nod to Prince, too. And, if I'm honest, just my favorite color in the city I love photographing more than anywhere else.
This piece is a great fit for any Vikings fan or Minneapolis local, a bold, striking addition to a living room, office, or game-day space.
Looks best on High Gloss Metal Print for deep blacks and vivid pop in the purple glass and stadium lighting, or Acrylic for extra depth and a glass-like shine on the reflective facade.
