Angry Vikings Fan Tries Selling US Bank Stadium On Craigslist
"Lightly used $1,000,000,000 stadium," the post read. "Occupant has been a team that only has success in breaking the hearts of the fans."

MINNEAPOLIS — It's been a rough couple of months for Vikings fans. After starting out the season as Super Bowl contenders, Minnesota is 6-6-1 and looks nothing like the championship-caliber team from last season.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins, who inked a three-year, $84 million deal with the team in the offseason, was supposed to make the team better, not worse. But on Monday night, the Vikings were held scoreless for most of the game against the Seattle Seahawks until a garbage-time touchdown.
Minnesota lost 7-21.

The crushing performance on national television sent one fan over the edge. On Tuesday morning, U.S. Bank Stadium — the home of the Vikings — was apparently up for sale on Craigslist:
"For Sale: Lightly used $1,000,000,000 stadium. Occupant has been a team that only has success in breaking the hearts of the fans. Long history of collecting talent with no ideas on how to use them."
"Included: $84 million QB who can't win against teams with winning records, and is 0-7 on MNF. A league record!"
"All reasonable offers considered. Will even entertain ideas to convert to a homeless shelter, as there is a greater chance of one of those folk becoming a success."
An image of the stadium, along with a photo of a dumpster fire and a fan wearing a bag over their face — was included in the listing.

Following Monday's loss, the Vikings fired offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, who was only hired earlier this year.
