Governor Tim Walz announced that Minnesotans who get their shot outside of U.S. Bank Stadium this Saturday will be eligible to win two pairs of tickets in the stadium’s Medtronic Club for the Vikings-Packers game on Sunday, Nov. 21.
“Fall means football season, a new school year, and more opportunities to get together with family and friends. The best way to enjoy all those activities safely is to get vaccinated for COVID-19,” Governor Walz said in a press release. “Minnesotans who receive their first shot at the pop-up clinic ahead of Saturday’s Vikings game will not only enjoy strong protection from COVID-19, but they will have the chance to attend this year’s Border Battle at U.S. Bank Stadium. For Vikings fans who have waited for the vaccine, now is the time to roll up your sleeves and get your shot.”

The first 100 people who get the vaccine at the clinic will choose an autographed Vikings mini helmet. There is no age limit for this prize.
The pop-up clinic will be held before the Vikings’ second preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts and is in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health. The clinic will be located next to the U.S. Bank Stadium light rail station near Chicago Avenue and will be open from 4 to 7 p.m.
Vaccines available will include the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the two-dose Pfizer vaccine. Minnesotans ages 12 and up are eligible for vaccination, and there is no game ticket required to receive a shot.

“As we welcome back Vikings fans to U.S. Bank Stadium for home games this season, we have an opportunity to continue supporting the fight against COVID-19,” Vikings Chief Operating Officer Andrew Miller said in the press release. “These walk-up vaccination clinics are a continuation of our partnership with the State of Minnesota following the successful vaccination clinics at TCO Performance Center and U.S. Bank Stadium this offseason. We encourage unvaccinated fans attending the games or anyone enjoying the pregame festivities to participate in a walk-up vaccination and join us in the effort to eradicate this virus.”
At a clinic before last weekend’s preseason game, 37 Minnesotans received the shot. For the official rules on the drawing for the tickets, click here.
