The Metrodome is located in which state?

The story behind the answer

The Metrodome was located in Minnesota, specifically in downtown Minneapolis. Its official name was the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, honoring the former U.S. vice president and Minnesota politician.

The domed stadium opened in 1982 as a replacement for Metropolitan Stadium, which had been home to the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings. It also replaced Memorial Stadium as the football home of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The Metrodome was unusual because it hosted both Major League Baseball and National Football League teams. The Minnesota Twins played there from 1982 through 2009, while the Vikings used it through the 2013 season. Its inflatable roof and rapidly convertible playing surface allowed the building to switch between baseball and football configurations.

The stadium was demolished in 2014 after the Vikings moved to temporary facilities. U.S. Bank Stadium was later built on the same Minneapolis site. The key distinction is that Minnesota is the state, while Minneapolis is the city.
