Check out the Minnesota Vikings' fabulous new stadium

One of the most impressive things about the Minnesota Vikings’ new stadium was how it looked on television. It looked, for the most part, like the Vikings and San Diego Chargers were playing outdoors.

That’s not easy to pull off in an enclosed stadium. New U.S. Bank Stadium’s roof isn’t retractable, but 60 percent of it is transparent. That let the sun shine in during the new building’s first ever NFL exhibition game on Sunday. It was bright, and it looked wonderful.

The Vikings’ new stadium, which cost about $1.1 billion, is expected to be one of the best in the NFL. Here are some pictures of its Vikings debut on Sunday:
