Metropolitan Stadium (often referred to as "the Met") was a sports stadium built in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA. It opened in 1956 as the home of minor league baseball team, the Minneapolis Millers. The NFL's Minnesota Vikings and MLB's Minnesota Twins played at the "Met" from 1961 to 1981. The NASL soccer team Minnesota Kicks also played there from 1976 to 1981. The Met fell into disrepair during the 1970s, necessitating the construction of a new stadium, the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, completed in 1981. The Vikings and Twins moved to the Metrodome in 1982 and the Kicks folded. Metropolitan Stadium was demolished in 1985.
