The Minnesota Vikings State-Of-The-Art New Stadium Will Be Using VenueNext Technology

Minnesota Vikings fans attending U.S Bank Stadium this season will see a new team mobile app that will feature many venue services, including an enhanced digital ticketing selection, food and beverage ordering, loyalty rewards, and merchandise ordering. This app is powered by VenueNext and will incorporate Ticketmaster, Aramark, seat upgrade technology experience, and content app developer Adept into one Vikings app. Thus, eliminating the requirement of downloading various apps for stadium services.

“We look forward to launching this new, dynamically-upgraded app that not only will give all Vikings fans a better experience when consuming team content on their mobile devices but also will allow seamless access to the numerous amenities at U.S. Bank Stadium,” said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf. “Our goals are always to provide the best game day experience possible and to continue developing deeper engagement with all Vikings fans, and the VenueNext technology will help achieve both.”

This new innovative Vikings app will unite fans to everything U.S. Bank stadium has to offer. Set to come out just in time for the 2016 NFL Draft, the app will also help in making real-time, data-driven decisions to improve the user experience. To make sure the fans can connect to the app, CenturyLink Wi-Fi access points will be installed throughout the building including inside the handrails. This will ensure that the fans will have wireless capabilities no matter their location in the stadium.

“We’re excited to extend our reach in the NFL through this collaboration with the Vikings,” said John Paul, CEO & Founder of VenueNext. “We want to become the standard for bringing Silicon Valley innovation to fan experiences, and implementing in a state-of-the-art development like U.S. Bank Stadium brings us closer to that goal. We also look forward to working with the Vikings to leverage the unique data generated by our platform to gain new insights and better.
