DOWNLOAD METRO TRANSIT APP
Metro Transit is offering Multi-ride passes for Super Bowl LII fans.
1. First step is to download the free Metro Transit app available on App Store or Google Play.
2. Buy your pass using the app. Here are the Multi-ride passes you can purchase:
Ultimate Fan Pass $40
Unlimited rides January 26 - February 5. Valid on all buses and trains (including Northstar), EXCEPT for light-rail service from Mall of America or Stadium Village on gameday. Only available through the Metro Transit app.
All-Day Pass $1-$5, varies by time of day
Not riding every day, then get an All-Day Pass for unlimited rides on buses and trains from time of purchase through 2 a.m. the next day. All-Day Passes can be purchased on the app or at rail station ticket machines.
Gameday Fan Express Pass $30
If you have a Super Bowl ticket, buy a special $30 Gameday Fan Express Pass. Due to security around the stadium on game day, regular light-rail service WILL NOT operate on gameday; ONLY those holding a Super Bowl LII ticket along with a Gameday Fan Express Pass will go through security checkpoints and board light rail at either Mall of America (Blue Line) or Stadium Village (Green Line) stations on February 4. Only available through the Metro Transit app.
NOTE: Ultimate Fan Passes and Gameday Fan Express Passes are NOT transferable and must be used by the person who originally purchased the ticket(s).
ARRIVING BY AIR
All Bloomington hotels are only minutes from MSP Airport and most of Bloomington's 43 hotels provide free parking, and free shuttle service to and from Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport and Mall of America®, so before you arrive check with your Bloomington hotel on shuttle service. If you'd prefer an Uber or taxicab, we've got you covered. Learn more about where at MSP your ride will pick you up. The METRO Blue Line is an option if you're staying at a hotel near one of the four light rail stations once you depart the terminal. If you're planning on using Metro Transit during your stay, check out Multi-ride passes for the Super Bowl. Download a great map of Bloomington, Minnesota to help you plan your arrival.
If you are continuing onto downtown Minneapolis or downtown Saint Paul, MSP Airport is a convenient 20-minute drive. Not driving, learn more about METRO Transit during your stay. And of course, Uber or Taxicabs are an option from MSP to your final destination.
