| | The venue for the 2018 Super Bowl defies traditional sports stadium design — take a look inside by Leanna Garfield on Feb 2, 2018, 11:42 AM Advertisement
 The lucky football fans who snagged tickets for the 2018 Super Bowl will venture inside the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday. The venue does not look like a typical stadium. Its design follows the style of modern architecture, characterized by geometric forms, glass-steel-and-concrete construction, and an efficient use of space. The stadium's roof is also partially made of a special plastic film, which helps the interior remain a comfortable temperature during all seasons. Business Insider spoke with Lance Evans, the venue's lead architect, about the design.

The building was designed by HKS Architects, the same firm behind the stadiums where the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, and Los Angeles Rams play.
