The biggest game in American football is taking place this weekend, February 4th in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots have commanded the road to the Super Bowl, earning their spots in this year’s game. With Super Bowl Sunday quickly approaching, Act Global will be bringing a fun fact each day about U.S. Bank Stadium- home of Super Bowl LII.
Did you know that U.S. Bank Stadium’s roof engineering is a trailblazer for stadiums, both in size and design? Because U.S. Bank is now a premier facility for year-round events, in the design stage of the facility it was vital to craft a sought-after destination that could protect athletes and entertainers from the elements of the outdoors. The result was the lightest and most efficient roof structure in the nation for a major new stadium and the only ETFE roof on a sports facility within the United States. The completely clear roof covers sixty percent of the venue and allows as much natural light in as possible.
