Workers are putting finishing touches on the new, $1.1 billion home of the Minnesota Vikings.

Ninety-five percent of the stadium in downtown Minneapolis is complete, and Mortenson Construction expects to have the stadium move-in ready in early June.

Mortenson executive Eric Grenz told the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority on Friday that only $40 million in work remains.

The Star Tribune reports the meeting focused on concession signs, personnel matters and hiring around-the-clock staff for the building.

A job fair for the stadium will be held April 26th through 28th at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

An International Cup soccer match will be the stadium’s first athletic event on August 3rd. The Vikings’ first game at the stadium will be a preseason game August 28th against the San Diego Chargers.
