I scored 2 tickets to the Vikings game this weekend through work. Never been there and was wondering where to park. Wouldnt mind having to walk a bit and would like to try to beat traffic after the game as much as possible.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
There are tons of options around downtown where you can park. Most are within walking distance of the stadium.

There is another link on that page where you can actually reserve your parking spot in some of the parking garages. I've never used that system before so I can't attest to how it works.
If you're looking to avoid traffic altogether, you can park at the Mall of America for free and ride the light rail to the stadium (you need to pay for a train ticket, of course). That's a nice option if you want to avoid driving downtown. However, you will be waiting a while to get on the train after the game. As you can imagine, the cars fill up quickly with all the fans leaving the stadium. It can also be a huge mass of people, so be aware of that.
