Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome var en idrottsarena i centrala Minneapolis i Minnesota i USA. Arenan revs 2014 för att ge plats för Minnesota Vikings nya hemmaarena U.S. Bank Stadium.
Arenan var hemmaarena för följande lag:
- Minnesota Vikings (NFL) (1982–2013)
- Minnesota Twins (MLB) (1982–2009)
- Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA amerikansk fotboll) (1982–2008)
- Minnesota Golden Gophers (NCAA baseboll) (1985–2013)
- Minnesota Strikers (NASL) (1984)
- Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA) (1989–1990)
- Minnesota United FC (NASL) (2012–2013)
Kupoltaket
Arenans tak, som befann sig ca 53 m över spelplanen, var av dubbel teflon (à la ”Michelingubbe”) och hölls uppe genom tillförsel av luft. Det krävdes 120 m³/s för att hålla kupolen uppe. Tre gånger under arenans historia orsakade snö hål i taket som fick det att falla samman. En gång sjönk taket ihop kraftigt mitt under en match under en kraftig storm.
Historia
Det första spadtaget för arenan togs den 20 december 1979 och bygget finansierades av delstaten Minnesota. Den 3 april 1982 kunde anläggningen öppnas för allmänheten.
Arenan fick sitt namn efter en av Minneapolis tidigare borgmästare, även senator och amerikansk vicepresident, Hubert H. Humphrey.

The Michigan Wolverines visit the Minnesota Golden Gophers at the Metrodome; the teams are rivals for the Little Brown Jug. This game is actually very well known in college football as one of the greatest comebacks in the sports history. Trailing 28-7 in the 4th quarter, the Wolverines managed to come from behind and win 38-35. The game received national coverage because it had been moved to a Friday in order to accommodate the Minnesota Twins playoff game on Saturday (the traditional day for college football games); as a result, it was the only major game on ESPN on Oct. 10, 2003. Adding to the hype, it was a rare occasion where an undefeated Minnesota was ranked higher than Michigan going into the game; Minnesota had not defeated Michigan since 1986.
For more info, just read the ESPN College Football Encyclopedia (2005) and turn to what they consider greatest comeback in Michigan history (a team with over 100 years of history). You can also read a summary of this legendary game here: [1]
