Walking directions
Walk times are estimates based on an average adult walking pace from the listed entrance. Actual times vary with your gate, game day crowd flow, and street closures. Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.
Downtown Minneapolis hotels are two miles west; the Green Line light rail runs from downtown to the Stadium Village stop at the gates, which is faster than the walk.
Walking from your hotel to the gates
The Washington Avenue mall
The Washington Avenue bridge and mall are pedestrian-and-transit-only through the heart of campus. The east-campus hotels also use the University Avenue and Huron approaches; follow sidewalks and use marked crossings.
Note: November games are cold and the mall is exposed. The skyways do not reach the stadium — dress for the walk.

Our walkable-only rule
Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from a Huntington Bank Stadium entrance: sidewalk, plaza or covered walkway, with no freeway crossing and no shuttle. Anything beyond roughly a 18-minute walk, or separated by a highway, river or rail corridor with no crossing, is excluded — however close it looks on a map.
