University of Minnesota Huntington Bank Stadium
This LEED Silver, 50,000-seat facility serving college football includes restaurants, retail shops, and luxury suites for fans, a state-of-the-art training facility for athletes, and even a large rehearsal room for marching bands.
MKA’s structural design solutions integrated steel pile foundations to accommodate poor soil conditions, lightweight concrete fill to reduce costs and safely eliminate spray-on fireproofing, and recycled steel. The design also incorporated plans for a 22,000-seat expansion. University of Minnesota Huntington Bank Stadium
