US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is inviting exercise enthusiasts to come to the home of the Vikings for a workout! The 'Winter Warm-Up' will offer a chance for folks to get in some indoor running or in-line skating beginning on December 5th.

Winter Warm-Up, a recreational program featuring inline skating and indoor running, returns to U.S. Bank Stadium this November. Fourteen Winter Warm-Up sessions will be offered this season beginning on Tuesday, December 5 and ending on Thursday, January 25. Winter Warm-Up is open to all ages and will take place on the stadium’s main and upper concourses from 5 – 9 pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

The Metrodome in Minneapolis used to host a roller skating event as well, much to the chagrin of former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, who referred to the stadium as "RollerDome" before his Bears took on the Vikings in 1987.
