    The
    Hubert H. Humphrey
    Metrodome
    , commonly called the
    Metrodome
    , is a domed sports
    stadium
    located in downtown
    Minneapolis
    ,
    Minnesota
    , United States. Opened in 1982, it replaced
    Metropolitan Stadium
    , which was on the current site of the
    Mall of America
    in
    Bloomington
    , and
    Memorial Stadium
    on the
    University of Minnesota
    campus. Since 1982, the Metrodome has been the current home to the
    National Football League
    's (NFL)
    Minnesota Vikings
    , who have used the name
    Mall of America Field at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome
    for the venue since October 5, 2009. The stadium was also the home of
    Major League Baseball
    's (MLB)
    Minnesota Twins
    from 1982 to 2009, the
    National Basketball Association
    's (NBA)
    Minnesota Timberwolves
    in their 1989-1990 inaugural season, and the
    Golden Gophers
    football and baseball teams. It was also the home for the
    Minnesota Strikers
    of the
    North American Soccer League
    in 1984.
    The stadium has a
    fiberglass
    fabric roof that is self-supported by air pressure, and is the second major sports facility to have this feature (the first being the
    Pontiac Silverdome
    ). The Metrodome is similar in design to the former
    RCA Dome
    and to
    BC Place
    before that stadium was reconfigured with a retractable roof. The Metrodome was reputedly the inspiration for the
    Tokyo Dome
    . The stadium is the only facility to have hosted a
    Super Bowl
    (
    1992
    ),
    World Series
    (
    1987
    ,
    1991
    ),
    MLB All-Star Game
    (
    1985
    ), and
    NCAA Division I Basketball Final Four
    (
    1992
    ,
    2001
    ).
    After a 2010 winter storm collapsed the Metrodome's roof, many of the stadium's tenants began looking for new venues to relocate to. In 2010, the Twins moved into the newly built
    Target Field
    , which had been under construction since 2007. The Metrodome is the
    ninth-oldest stadium in the NFL
    and will be replaced in the same location by a new
    Vikings Stadium
    by 2016; the Vikings will play at
    TCF Bank Stadium
    during construction. Locally, the Metrodome has several nicknames such as "The Dome",
    "The Thunderdome", and "The Homer Dome". It is scheduled to be demolished in February 2014. The roof will be deflated for the final time on January 18, 2014.
