According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, the Minnesota Vikings will be playing on a new artificial surface at U.S. Bank Stadium next year.
The new turf is a monofilament version called Act Global Xtreme Turf DX and is a version with better injury data than the slit turf the team currently plays on.
The move was approved by the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which owns and operates the stadium. The Vikings were a major factor in selecting the winning bid, according to Seifert. They also plan to install the same artificial turf at their practice facility at TCO Performance Center.
The turf will be installed starting in February and be ready for the start of the 2024 season.
