Vikings stadium..<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Vikings say they’re just $10 million shy of a $125 million goal for selling seat licenses at U.S. Bank Stadium.<\/p>\n

The team was to report Wednesday that they’ve sold 90 percent of the available “stadium builder’s licenses” for the stadium’s inaugural 2016 season. Fewer than 5,000 seat licenses remain.<\/p>\n

The licenses are one-time fees for the right to buy a certain season-ticket seat. Licenses are valid for 30 years.<\/p>\n

Vikings chief marketing officer Steve LaCroix says sales picked up after the team’s playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with the team selling 1,000 licenses in the past three weeks.<\/p>\n

Team ownership is using seat license proceeds to cover part of its share of stadium costs.<\/p>\n

The team also has commitments for 123 of 131 suites at the stadium.<\/p>\n
