Humphrey Metrodome, commonly called the Metrodome, is a domed sports stadium located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Opened in 1982, it replaced Metropolitan Stadium, which was on the current site of the Mall of America in Bloomington, and Memorial Stadium on the University of Minnesotacampus. Since 1982, the Metrodome has been the current home to the National Football League's (NFL) Minnesota Vikings, who have used the name Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome for the venue since October 5, 2009. The stadium was also the home of Major League Baseball's (MLB) Minnesota Twinsfrom 1982 to 2009, the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Minnesota Timberwolves in their 1989-1990 inaugural season, and the Golden Gophers football and baseball teams. It was also the home for the Minnesota Strikers of the North American Soccer League in 1984.The stadium has a fiberglass fabric roof that is self-supported by air pressure, and is the second major sports facility to have this feature (the first being the Pontiac Silverdome). The Metrodome is similar in design to the former RCA Dome and to BC Place before that stadium was reconfigured with a retractable roof. The Metrodome was reputedly the inspiration for the Tokyo Dome. The stadium is the only facility to have hosted a Super Bowl (1992), World Series (1987, 1991), MLB All-Star Game (1985), and NCAA Division I Basketball Final Four (1992, 2001).After a 2010 winter storm collapsed the Metrodome's roof, many of the stadium's tenants began looking for new venues to relocate to. In 2010, the Twins moved into the newly built Target Field, which had been under construction since 2007. The Metrodome is the ninth-oldest stadium in the NFL and will be replaced in the same location by a new Vikings Stadium by 2016; the Vikings will play at TCF Bank Stadium during construction. Locally, the Metrodome has several nicknames such as "The Dome", "The Thunderdome", and "The Homer Dome". It is scheduled to be demolished in February 2014. The roof will be deflated for the final time on January 18, 2014. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>If you should have questions about this item or any listing we have in our eBay Store, please contact us for a quick response.
