An Inside Look At X Games Minneapolis 2017 (Photos)
This past weekend, X Games Minneapolis 2017 was held at the one-year-old home of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings, US Bank Stadium, in downtown Minneapolis. The very same venue will play host to the X Games in 2018, as well as Super Bowl 52, coming this February.
Since 1995, the X Games, the annual summer extreme sports mega event has taken place in several domestic and international locations. Los Angeles has hosted the extravaganza the most frequently, with Austin, Texas taking a turn each of the last three years.
