Hotels Near US Bank Stadium Minneapolis: Game Day Group Guide

A guide to booking group hotels near US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Walking distance hotels, skyway options, group rate strategies for Vikings games, concerts, and events.
US Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis hosts Vikings games, major concerts, college football bowl games, and events like the NCAA Final Four. When your group is coming in for game day or a big show, you want hotels close enough to walk - and you want group rates that do not break the bank. Here is how to make it happen.
Hotels Within Walking Distance of US Bank Stadium
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis (3-minute walk)
The closest major hotel to the stadium. Connected to the skyway system. Group rates from $169 per night for 10+ rooms. The Hyatt fills up fast on game days, so book early.
Hilton Minneapolis (5-minute walk)
821 rooms make this the best option for large groups. Group rates from $179 per night. Skyway connected. The hotel bar is a popular pre-game gathering spot.
Hotel Minneapolis, Autograph Collection (7-minute walk)
Boutique option for groups that want character over chains. Group rates from $159 per night. Smaller property with 222 rooms, so availability is limited for large groups.
Radisson Blu Minneapolis Downtown (8-minute walk)
360 rooms with a modern design. Group rates from $149 per night. The hotel has its own restaurant and bar, good for pre-game dinners with the group.
AC Hotel Minneapolis Downtown (6-minute walk)
The newest option in the area. European-style rooms, rooftop bar with stadium views. Group rates from $149 per night. Popular with younger groups and concert-goers.
Skyway Hotels (Weather-Proof Walk)
Minnesota game days in November through January mean temperatures below freezing. The downtown skyway system lets you walk from your hotel to US Bank Stadium without stepping outside.
The Hyatt Regency, Hilton Minneapolis, and DoubleTree by Hilton all connect to the skyway and are within a 10-minute covered walk of the stadium. For late-season Vikings games, this is worth the premium.
Budget Options (Short Uber Ride)
If walking distance hotels are sold out or too expensive, several properties in the North Loop and University areas are a 5-minute Uber ride from the stadium.
The Hewing Hotel in North Loop offers group rates from $139. The Graduate Minneapolis near the University of Minnesota campus has rates from $109 for groups. The Days Inn by Wyndham Minneapolis is the budget pick at $89 per night.
Game Day Tips for Groups
Book Early for Vikings Home Games
Hotels within walking distance fill up 4 to 6 weeks before Vikings home games. Playoff games and rivalry matchups sell out even faster. Submit your group request as soon as you know your game dates.
Pre-Game Gathering Spots
The Commons park across from the stadium is the main tailgate area. For indoor options, The Hewing Hotel bar, Brit's Pub, and The Local are all group-friendly and within walking distance.
Transportation
Light rail (Blue and Green lines) stops at US Bank Stadium station. From Mall of America: 20 minutes. From MSP Airport: 25 minutes. Single ride: $2.50 on event days. This is the best option for groups without cars.
Concert and Event Nights
US Bank Stadium hosts 10 to 15 major concerts per year plus events like monster truck shows, soccer matches, and motocross. Hotel demand for these events is lower than Vikings games, so group rates are typically 15 to 20 percent cheaper.
For concerts, the AC Hotel rooftop bar is the best pre-show spot. For corporate events, the Hyatt Regency meeting rooms work well for pre-event receptions.
