AWFUL, .9 mile walk to the stadium and back to the car in 99 degree weather. Lastly, I’m STILL STUCK in the parking lot N29 after 45 minutes. Will not be back. #RIPTurnerField

I really haven’t had much trouble with the parking and don’t really think a mile is that much of a walk. I do wish Marta was an option but unfortunately that won’t happen in the foreseeable future.
Should've used Uber.
Should’ve bought red lot with app beforehand.
Stay in a hotel near the park and walk -- then you leave whenever you want after traffic slows a bit.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
I had a similarly bad experience when I went back in April, minus the heat. I'll be Ubering it for now on, or getting to the game 3-4 hours ahead and eating at the Battery. Their parking situation is super ridiculous.

Went today for the first time too. We used an Uber and was back in our hotel within an hour of the game being over.

I feel like parking for the new park is something they should have had arranged immediately upon park opening, but eh.

Who are you again?
Went last night and again today. Used Uber both trips. It was a breeze. Sorry the OP had a bad experience....for me it was dang near heaven...can’t wait to go back !!
Walking and late June weather = sweat bath. Not sure that should shock anyone.
Sorry you had a bad experience, but maybe learn from it instead of swearing it off entirely?

All kidding (and bad jokes) aside. Sorry to hear of the traffic mess at the new stadium. I think that's the plight of suburban stadiums and arenas where most everyone ends up driving. Minnesota isn't the paragon of common sense it was 50 years ago, but the one thing that has basically been done correctly is that with the implementation of light rail transit, most of the new athletic venues are at most a block or two off the transit lines. You can park at the Mall of America for free and hop on the blue line, which takes you to directly to the new Vikings' stadium or you can connect to the green line and go west to the Twins' stadium and Wolves arena or east to the Gopher football stadium on the University of Minnesota campus. The new soccer stadium will be on the line in St. Paul as well. Only two venues where it doesn't work that well is the St. Paul Saints stadium and the Wild hockey arena.

The traffic leaving the stadium is better than it was for Turner Field. By quite a bit.
