MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority has approved a $1.3 million project for new artificial turf at U.S. Bank Stadium before the 2024 season. That puts the Vikings on track to play on a surface the NFL has assessed as less of an injury risk than the venue's current field. The state agency finalized the cost at its regular meeting.
