Today’s Vikings/Lions game was the final sporting event at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The stadium will be replaced by a new venue at the same location.

Being the final game at the Metrodome, there were bound to be souvenir seekers, and extra precautions were taken to see that people didn’t try to take home turf or anything else from the field:

As a result of the on-field security, any other souvenir would have to suffice:

An attempt to get a souvenir was apparently unsuccessful for at least one person:
