Before the Minnesota Vikings squared off with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, President and co-owner Mark Wilf provided an update on his team's move-in-progress. He told reporters that the construction project Minnesota's new home -- U.S. Bank Stadium -- is 80 percent complete, according to ESPN's Ben Goessling.

The Vikings have been playing their home games at TCF Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, since last season. The new venue is supposed to be ready for the 2016 season.

U.S. Bank Stadium will be surrounded by state-of-the-art facilities, including a "Legacy Ship" with a giant video board for a sail. Goodell said the league would have mutual interest if the Twin Cities want to hold an NFL draft in the future, per ESPN.
