US Bank Stadium

Construction on the $1 billion, "people's stadium," has been complete for almost a year now.

The stadium, coined by many as the crown jewel of NFL stadiums, is still facing some of the same issues from when it opened -- issues with exterior panels.

The Minnesota Vikings have a small chance of making the playoffs in 2016.
